Polly Vernon has been a features writer, interviewer and columnist for 18 years. She now writes primarily for The Times and Grazia. She started as a junior writer on Minx, a riotous young woman's magazine, which launched in the late '90s as a female response to Loaded. Since being picked up as the Guardian's youngest ever Comments and Analysis columnist, she has written for every publication from Vogue to The Telegraph, and has interviewed everyone from David Cameron to Hugh Jackman via Donald Trump. And Take That. And One Direction. And Piers Morgan, for whom she has an enduring fondness. But don't tell anyone.
