AS SHE GEARS UP TO TAKE ON HER NEW ROLE AS AN OK! COLUMNIST JUDI LOVE TALKS LOOSE WOMEN GRIEF AND DEALING WITH TROLLS

‘I CAN'T BE ANYTHING ELSE BUT MYSELF IT'S WORKED FOR ME SO FAR!'

The past year has been an amazing one for Judi Love, as her career hit ever greater heights. From bagging a coveted slot as a Loose Women panellist to appearing on shows such as This Is My House and Dating No Filter, she has made herself a household name.

And now, the 40-year-old is about to add another string to her bow, as we are delighted to announce that she is OK!’s brand-new columnist!

A former social worker turned comic, Judi’s wealth of experience shines through when she discusses the UK’s hot topics with her fellow Loose ladies. She has eloquently tackled issues from dealing with racism to being a single mum and losing her mother to dementia in 2009.

Her mix of lightheartedness and empathy means she’s perfectly placed to discuss the biggest news and celebrity stories each week in OK! – and we can’t wait to hear what she’s got in store for our readers.

As we catch up during her glamorous shoot, Judi – who is mum to daughter Shan, 15, and son Shi, 11 – tells us her OK! the column is a major life achievement.

“I keep asking if it’s really happening! For me, born in East London and being dyslexic as a little girl, to be in OK! magazine, I’m just so excited,” she says.

However, as elated as she is, the star has had a tough month. Judi sadly lost her father and tells OK! she is still dealing with the shock.

Here, she opens up about her bereavement, being a mum and why it’s important for her to always be herself…

Hi, Judi. We’re really sorry to hear about your dad passing away, how are you doing?
