How do you ask out someone you’ve just met at an event? 🤔 You know that moment when you feel a spark during a great chat? ✨ Lately, I’ve been getting braver - actually asking them out for coffee ☕️ But… I think my delivery still needs some serious work 😅 Listen to this story 👇

What is the role of university in society? I'm taking part in a debate at US Fordham University's campus in London. I'm sharing my perspective as an educator who has encouraged teenage students to consider higher education.

A global conversation has taken off after British Vogue published an article “Is Having a Boyfriend Embarrassing Now?” Greek philosopher Aristotle said "man is a social being" as we need the connection of others. But if something becomes your entire identity, then you might lose a bit of yourself.

For #STEMday, some wise words from Maths Appeal host Susan Okereke with Bobby Seagull#STEMday💬 We need diversity in STEM to help those industries diversify and grow. But beyond that, everyone should be empowered with the fundamentals of maths to make better decisions in daily life.

Back to back wins. My club is back* Come on West Ham! *Probably*

Now that's what you call a proper east end lunch - pie & mash. Ratings out of 10 please 🙏🏻 As West Ham Foundation's education ambassador, planning maths sessions for primary school children. Using the power of football to get children to see the value of maths & numeracy.

"Outside of his work, Bobby likes to eat ice cream, watch cheesy rom-coms and is part of four different book clubs!" I always find it amusing to read my bio for events. I'll often add something fun at the end like this!

Big news 🚨 The government has finally agreed to make financial education compulsory for primary and secondary schools in England. What parts of money and finance education would you include in the curriculum

🤩 BIG NEWS: National Curriculum Changes & Personal Finance in Schools 💷 Have you seen the major changes to the national curriculum? 5.20pm, I'm on Channel 5 News to share the impact this will have on the classroom, students and teachers🍎📚

👏 Big news! Financial education will soon be compulsory for all primary & secondary pupils in England - part of the new curriculum review. 🎙️ I spoke on BBC Radio 2 about why this is so welcome. With rising inflation & our increasingly digital world, young people are hungry to learn about money.

How should climate education be embedded into school education? The government's review of the curriculum was published today. On Jeremy Vine On5, I shared how we can teach climate science & sustainability in a way that doesn't unnecesarily frighten children but educates & empowers them.

Dear Future Mrs Seagull 📃 I'm trying to find you 🔎 I'm bit of a nerd and went to @sciencemuseum.org.uk Halloween Lates event but can't find you there either 😂 #Dating #single #relationships #science #nerd

🎃 Did you know Halloween is older than Christianity? 👻 It began as the ancient Celtic festival “Samhain” marking the end of summer 🌾 and the final autumn harvest 🍂 Exploring the spooky science behind it Science Museum Lates event tonight 🧪🧙‍♀️ @sciencemuseum.org.uk

Dear Future Mrs Seagull 📃 I'm trying to find you 🔎 I quite like staying fit and have been going to gym & spin cycle classes but can't find you there either 😂 #Dating #single #relationships #fitness #exercise #spin

Libraries are showing initiative by creating displays of books by Celebrity Traitors 👏🏻 #Traitors #CelebrityTraitors #Books #Libraries #booktok

Ever had a random meme moment in real life? 😭 Was out shopping today and my total came to £6.71. Instantly, a group of kids next to me yelled out: “SIX SEVEN!” 🔊😂 Their mum looked so confused and asked me, > “What’s this ‘6 7’ thing about?”

I was glad to be able to share my love for Prunella Scales on Channel 5 today

Growing up, I watched Fawlty Towers again and again 📺 With my parents having moved here from India and me growing up in East London, that show helped shape my sense of British humour and identity 🇬🇧❤️ So sad to hear of the passing of wonderful Prunella Scales at 93.

Always a pleasure to be back on Jeremy Vine On 5 📺 Enjoyed debating a wide range of topics with host Storm Huntley & businessman Joanna Jensen. Great to bump into former Blue Peter presenter Radzi 🤝 #JeremyVine #StormHuntley #TV #News #Debates

How's my pink jacket? 🩷 11.30 - 12.30 on Jeremy Vine On 5. Debate topics 🗣️ 🏥 OK to go abroad for operations? 💡 Ban cars if lights are too bright?  🪖 Migrants in military barracks? Host Storm Huntley & panellist businesswoman Joanna Jensen #TV #Debates #operations #SUVs #migrants

Top quality #UniversityChallenge match. Either side could have won until a decisive final 5 minutes. Next week is start of 2nd Round. I think it's the most brutal round as there's no second chance. 1st round has playoffs for highest scoring losers and quarters have group stages.

While there have been a few negative 5 points interruptions tonight on #UniversityChallenge, I do applaud the quizzers taking that risk. Matches can be won on the buzzer so it takes guts to put yourself out there for the team.

Ready for the main act of #QuizzyMonday. Who's in for #UniversityChallenge?

What does "burnout" mean to you? 🤔 Rebel Book Club plunged us deep into relentless assault of modern life on our nervous systems. Our nervous systems are built to handle acute stress, but they crumble under constant demands. This traps us in survival mode, where rational thinking simply shuts down

For #WestHam fans wanting to be cheered up. Hard to believe this was only two years ago.

How much thought goes into my TV outfits? Tomorrow Tuesday 11.30 - 12.30, I'm on Channel 5 debating news stories. If I'm ONLY debating a teacher/education issue, I'll wear my "teaching" outfit. But if like tomorrow, it involves issues from across society, I tend to vary style (still deciding!)
