Went to IKEA today and they have a new kids space range and it's epic and I need it all! Check it out here - www.ikea.com/gb/en/cat/af...

A screenshot from my Instagram stories showing IKEA furniture on display in a shop with a space background painted on the wall behind. There's a range of boxes on the furniture unit including white ones with a space print on them, and the top of the unit has been made to look like a rocket.

Super excited to be heading up to London tomorrow for #NineLessons! A handful of tickets have been released for tomorrow night's show so come join us - anyone with me in the niche astronomy/emo crossover will hopefully be pleasantly surprised by my set!

They used a photo of me while they were talking about this on the One Show earlier so I guess the cat's out of the bag - I'm so excited to be in a couple of episodes of Tim Peake's Secrets Of Our Universe which is airing later this month on Channel 5!

A photo of my TV with an image of me standing next to Tim Peake on it. We're both looking at the camera and smiling.
