So this happened . No 10 Downing Street invited Vicki Broadbent to interview the Prime Minister, Sir @keirstarmer about an initiative that is already benefiting a great number of children living in poverty in the UK and is due to support more half a million children (and their parents) in the UK with a nationwide rollout. Whilst she collaborated with @educationgovuk previously and have spoken in Parliament on several occasions on matters that well, matter to her: the online safety bill as well as maternal rights, mental health, enterprise, STEM and STEAM (let’s not forget the Arts), greater pay for the childcare sector and a more robust infrastructure for working parents amongst other subjects, this interview was definitely not on my 2025 bingo card! What a memorable day.
Vicki Broadbent, an award-winning screenwriter, director and bestselling author of Mumboss (UK) and The Working Mom (US and Canada). Her debut children’s book for 9-12 year olds, Greek Myths, Folktalkes & Legends for Scolastic UK is available for pre-order now and is published in September 2025.
She is a prolific storyteller working across the mediums of digital, print, TV and film. She is also Bored Panda’s Parenting Expert. The site reaches 121 million views a month. I am consistently voted as the No 1 parenting blog in the UK by Vuelio who use a proprietary algorithm to determine ranking.
She is a regular contributor on ITV’s Good Morning Britain and BBC 5 Live (she guest-edited a radio show for them, too).
Most importantly She is mum to Oliver, 15, Alexander,12 and Florence, 3.
Blogging and vlogging soon became her full-time job taking my work from behind the camera to mostly in front.
She has since become a TV and radio broadcaster regularly featuring on BBC World News, BBC Breakfast, ITV’s This Morning, Good Morning Britain, Lorraine, Channel 5 News, SKY News and BBC Radio 5 Live.
