Rosie Nixon on life as editor-in-chief of Hello!, attending Robbie Williams' wedding and her solo writing mini-breaks

There was no way I could turn down the chance to interview the editor in chief of Hello! - apart from anything else, I knew she’d have brilliant anecdotes. And Rosie Nixon didn’t disappoint - I loved hearing how she and her staff put together their iconic Royal Wedding issues, as well as what it was like to attend Robbie Williams’ wedding to Ayda Field (she was one of just a handful of people who knew it was happening in advance). And I loved hearing how she managed to fit in a successful career as an author (clue: it involves hotels and candles) and why she was keen to explore the uncomfortable elements of pregnancy and motherhood in her new book Just Between Friends. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. By the book here: hyperurl.co/BetweenFriends Twitter: @Rosie_Nixon / @aliceazania Instagram: @rosiejnixon / @aliceazania Edited by Chelsey Moore
