Mini bio
How it started.
Alex worked in journalism, including at HELLO!, and first built a platform around fashion and beauty. During recovery from eating disorders, sharing personal experiences brought connections with people facing similar struggles. Body image and self-acceptance became the centre of the work.
Finding a wider audience.
Those conversations grew into You Are Not a Before Picture, a 2022 guide to questioning diet culture that became a Sunday Times bestseller. Alex also founded Light LDN, an inclusive clothing and swimwear brand.
Conversations that stay with you.
From December 2021, Alex and Em Clarkson co-hosted Should I Delete That?, exploring the nuance missing from social media debates. They ended the show in December 2025, with best-bits episodes following in January 2026. The Price of Pretty, published in May 2026, turns to the pressures and costs of contemporary beauty standards.
