Author Notes:Sue Perkins is perhaps best known for being one half of double act Mel and Sue, where she plays the part of Mel. Together, the pair have bounced, shouted and gurned their way through countless hours of television, most memorably Light Lunch and its later counterpart, the imaginatively titled Late Lunch .

Over the years, Sue has worked on a wide range of solo projects, including documentaries on art, popular fiction and history. In 2008 she appeared on the BBC show Maestro , culminating in her conducting at the Last Night of the Proms. She has also collaborated with food-critic Giles Coren on the Supersizers series, where the duo power-ate their way through five centuries of lungs, livers and testicles whilst half-cut on sherry.

Sue hosts the panel show, Insert Name Here , as well as being a regular contributor to Just A Minute , QI and The Last Leg . She is also the presenter of the Game of Thrones companion show, Thronecast .

East of Croydon is Sue's second book. Her first, Spectacles , was a Sunday Times bestseller.

Oh, and she used to do a cake show on BBC1
