Helen Fear

TV Editor Helen Fear

  • Helen has been writing about TV of all genres for 20 years and what she hasn't seen isn't worth watching.
  • Her favourite interviewees include Paul O'Grady, Alan Carr, Paddy McGuinness, Ralf Little, and the late Terry Wogan.
  • She was once mistaken for former EastEnders actress Kacey Ainsworth on the red carpet.

Experience

  • After studying journalism at Cardiff University, one of Helen's first jobs was at London's Time Out as a TV reviewer. She quickly moved on to become TV Editor at the Daily Express, and was given her own TV column in OK! Hot Stars called The Fear Factor!
  • She later became Deputy TV Editor at Closer, then TV Editor at Reveal, before joining Entertainment Daily as TV Editor, and later TVguide.co.uk.
  • She's also freelanced for publications including The Sun, The Mirror, Best, Bella, Stylist, Metro, Daily Telegraph, Good Housekeeping, Glamour, Good to Know, and Woman.

Education

  • Helen received her BA from Middlesex University where she studied English Literature (when she's not watching TV, she's reading).
  • She later completed a Post-graduate diploma in Journalism at Cardiff University.
