Tilly Pearce (Freelance Writer)

  • Tilly has been a TV journalist for 10 years – and as a result has an encyclopedic knowledge (and a lot of opinions!) about all things telly
  • She loves to deep dive into the nooks and crannies of TV – from reliving her childhood by getting to interview Melissa Joan Hart for Clarissa Explains It All’s 30th anniversary, to grilling Steven Avery’s legal team over Making A Murderer
  • Her mum had no idea what she did for a job until she explained it was like that one scene in ‘Notting Hill’ where Hugh Grant pretended to work for Horse & Hound Magazine – she gets it now

Experience

Tilly started working in journalism since 2015, when she joined The Sun Online’s Showbiz desk. She has since been TV reporter at Metro.co.uk, Deputy TV Editor at Digital Spy (Maternity Cover), and in 2023 flew out to New York to spearhead Reach PLC’s US launch as Deputy TV and Showbiz Editor. Freelance since 2024, Tilly is now a TV critic and interviewer, whose work has appeared in The I, The Telegraph, Daily Mail, Metro and RadioTimes.
