MY LIST OF EVERYTHING
Comedian KATHERINE RYAN, 36, on her favourite things
Katherine Ryan shares her favourite things
MY CAN’T-MISS PODCAST IS… Walking The Dog With Emily Dean. She takes celebrities and their dogs for walks. It’s very insightful.
THE CANDLE I LOVE TO LIGHT IS… Anything other than Diptyque is unacceptable. My favourite is Roses.
MY SIGNATURE LIPSTICK IS… When I was younger, I got my lips done in an amateur’s basement and they’ve been wonky ever since, so I avoid colour when I’m not on TV. My must-have is a Chanel clear gloss pot.
MY FAVOURITE INDEPENDENT SHOP IS… Raey in Notting Hill. It does great oversized blazers and shirts.
MY FOODIE WEAKNESS IS… Dauphinoise potatoes and chips. I can eat potatoes morning, noon and night.
WHEN I SEND FLOWERS, I CALL… A florist called Rebel Rebel. Its arrangements are very Insta-worthy!
MY ONE-STOP MORNING COFFEE SHOP IS… Harris + Hoole in Crouch End. The atmosphere is great.
ON TOAST, I LOVE TO SPREAD…
I hate bread, so I’d put soft cheese and avocado on top of a rice cracker.
MY FAVOURITE PAIR OF SHOES IS FROM… Gianvito Rossi. I bought them after I saw Cheryl wear them on The X Factor. They have Perspex sides and a four-inch heel, but they’re the most comfy heels I own.
THE SHADE I ALWAYS PAINT MY NAILS IS CALLED… Ballet Slippers by Essie. I heard that it’s the best shade for courting a man. THE BOXSET I REWATCH OVER AND OVER IS… Right now, I love Fleabag, but I could watch Girls 100,000 times. It really spoke to me in my 20s and early 30s.
MY FAVOURITE HOTEL FOR A WEEKEND AWAY IS… Chewton Glen Hotel & Spa in the New Forest. Lots of hotels shun kids and dogs (I have a 10-year-old daughter and three dogs!), but this isn’t one of them.
MY BEST HOLIDAY EVER WAS… A trip to LA when I was filming my Netflix series, Glitter Room. Instead of staying in a hotel, I got a house in Malibu and my family came to stay.
THE THING I CAN’T STOP BUYING FOR MY HOME IS… Plants.
I find them really therapeutic but, unfortunately, I keep killing them. WHEN I WANT TO CRY WITH LAUGHTER, I CALL… I’m friends with a lot of comedians, and yet the funniest person I’ve ever met is my property developer friend, Elizabeth.
THE SONG THAT GETS ME ON THE DANCEFLOOR IS… Anything by Cardi B. I’m a big fan of female rappers and grime artists; I love their confident, unapologetic vibe.
MY FOOLPROOF DINNER PARTY DISH IS… A pot roast chicken recipe that I stole off Dawn O’porter’s Instagram page. You add onions, celery, carrots and stock, then put it in the oven for four hours, and it’s done. Perfect if you don’t want to be removed from your guests.
Katherine Ryan: Glitter Room is available to watch on Netflix now.
