Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

If I weren't talking to you right you I'd normally be... I'd like to say Rock climbing or Spelunking but it's more likely to be Watching Deal or No Deal.
A phrase I use far too often is… There isn't one.
A common misperception of me is… well, it seems that people only know two things about me for certain. I'm Welsh and I like girls. Has there ever been anything written about me that hasn't stated "Welsh TV presenter" and "Who has been linked to X, Y and Z". In fairness though these are not misconceptions. I like Girls and I am Welsh.
The most surprising thing that happened to me was… becoming a TV presenter. I really didn't see that coming. I'm still surprised by it 10 years on. I'm sure there has been a clerical error somewhere.
I’m not a politician but… I would never, ever, ever be one. The very idea of it makes my skin crawl.
I’m good at… holding my breath. I can do it for 3 minutes. My Doctor tells me I have unusually large lungs. Of all the things that had to be unusually large i got lungs!
I’m bad at… spelling. I swear, if it wasn't for Rachel Riley I wouldn't even watch Countdown.
My ideal night out is… friends, family, food, booze and music.
In moments of weakness I… turn to my brain. 99 per cent of the time I'll think it through and come up with a solution. 1 per cent of the time I'll hit the bottle.
In another life I'd have been... a lower league footballer or a fireman. When I was a kid I wanted to be a fire engine. One day maybe, one day!
The best age to be is… what ever age you are today. Enjoy it because it will only happen once.
In a nutshell, my philosophy is… there is no past, there is no future, only the present. Memento Mori.
