The smart set’s talking about... David Jacobs’s granddaughter

LATE Radio 2 presenter David Jacobs and what he described as ‘our kind of music’ are much missed by listeners, but his turn of phrase lives on with his granddaughter, Saskia Gregson-Williams (right).

The 20-year-old is a healthy-living writer and her blog, Naturally Sassy, is attracting almost as much attention as those of better known foodies such as ‘Deliciously Ella’ Mills.

Juke Box Jury host Jacobs (pictured below with Sassy) came up with her blog’s name. ‘He was one of the biggest inspirations for starting,’ says Saskia, whose blog was also turned into a recipe book.

‘The thing he liked most was my caramel and chocolate ganache. He used to have a stash on his dresser.’

Glossy-haired Sassy grew up in Hampshire with her parents, the composer Rupert GregsonWi l l i a m s and former actress Emma Jacobs. She turned her back on professional ballet to become a food writer and has already garnered almost 70,000 followers on Instagram, where she posts videos of dance-inspired workouts — which she calls Ballet Blasts — interspersed with healthy meal ideas.

Happily, romance is simmering, too. Sassy is courting American photographer boyfriend Riley Donovan. But can Riley stop effervescent Sassy from bubbling over? Even her assistant suggested cutting the number of exclamation marks in her cookbook. Sassy explains: ‘She said: “It sounds like you’re speaking in a really high-pitched voice all the time.” ‘I said: “That’s because I am!” ’
