Chrissie kickstarted her career in journalism at the age of 18 when she was headhunted by Vogue magazine whilst attending Lucie Clayton College in South Kensington.
After working up the ranks at Vogue, Marie Claire, Empire, Bliss and Mizz, it was at OK! magazine that she finally found her calling. She stayed for 15 years going from Features Writer up to Showbiz & Royal Director.
During that time, she jetted all over the world for the Oscars, reporting exclusively for QVC, she’s attended Cannes Film Festival, the BAFTAs, Paris Fashion Week with Jean Paul Gaultier, Royal Ascot, she hosted a box at the National Television Awards and attended endless red carpet events.

Chrissie attended her first royal tour with the Prince and Princess of Wales on their landmark trip to Australia and New Zealand in 2014, attended weekly engagements with the couple and reported on the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in 2017.

She knows the power of a killer nude court and working the red carpet, Chrissie even modelled for Catherine’s go to maternity brand, Seraphine when pregnant.
