MY FABULOUS FRIDAY

Popular TV host Raya Abirached talks dressing down, salad brunches, movie marathons and exploring London.

DRESSINGDOWN

When people seem eon TV or on the red carpet, they assume I’m a big fashionista because I’m always dressed up and look glamorous. But offcamera, I’ m very much a dress-down girl. Weekends are when I can slip on some loose trousers and trainers and relax. I try to avoid wearing heels when possible. I likemy clothes to look good and also be comfy.

OUTANDABOUT

I’ m from Lebanon but live in London and I love the city. We’re always out exploring a different part of town. There’ s always something new and exciting going on here.

MOVIE BUFF

My favourite way to chill out is to catch up with the latest movies and TV. I’m very lucky because my profession is also my passion. I’m a movie buff. Perhaps on a weekend I prefer a comedy, but really, I’ll watch anything.

TAKING THE TABLET

There is no way I could live without my tablet. I take it everywhere, likemy purse. I use it to stream movies and TV, plan my week, record ideas and keep in touch with fans of the show through social media. I love socialmedia. It enables you to really communicate with people, get feedback and listen to ideas. Having said that, I’m more about Twitter than Instagram, which seems a little too narcissistic to me.
