Her book THE GUILTY FEMINIST is a Sunday Times Bestseller and Virago at Hachette has commissioned her new book – SIX CONVERSATIONS WE’RE SCARED TO HAVE.

Deborah’s television credits include Q.I, Have I Got News for You, Mock the Week, Would I Lie to You? and Question Time. Her op-ed pieces, columns and interviews have appeared in The Guardian, The Telegraph and The New York Times.

Able to speak across a broad array of topics, she also contributes regularly to panel discussions.

Passionate about humanitarian issues, Deborah’s de facto brother (and now housemate), Steve Ali, came to the UK as a Syrian refugee. Having had no home for five years, Deborah allowed Steve to stay in her spare room. The rest, as they say, is history. Additionally, Deborah also works closely with Choose Love raising funds and awareness and is an official Amnesty International UK Ambassador.
