The word play hits on both the sea theme of the mermaid while also making sense in the context of math, a double threat! Ellie's comedic, best-friend style shines through, covering even serious topics in an approachable way. A book I read for the author rather than the subject matter, and while I laughed out loud more times than I could count (it's DEFINITELY not ghost-written), my lack of engagement with the subject matter (beyond a vague interest pertaining to the future) meant that I wasn't captivated. It’s a subject that is usually really negative but this joke turns that around and gives us all a good payoff. The Snog, Marry Avoid icon and Ted Lasso actress shared the news with followers in a sweet Instagram post on Friday.

It was comedy competition Show Me The Funny in 2011 that changed Ellie's whole trajectory, seeing her make the semi-final and go on to to snap up a presenting role on BBC Three's Snog, Marry, Avoid.

I am a very slow reader (and listener) but I just couldn’t stop listening to it and finished the book in 4 days (it hasn’t happened since I was in secondary school). Ellie Taylor has a vibrant personality that really seeps through into the writing, making it easy to read compulsively - I hadn't known of her before but would definitely be interested in her other work. Magenta Star' is a beautiful single dahlia, flowering in deep magenta pink, which contrasts beautifully with dark green foliage. I'd highly recommend reading this if you are thinking about having a child, have one already or are thinking of another; even if it's to laugh at the ridiculousness of knowing she's right. I'm a big fan of Ellie Taylor - I think she's hilarious, and as a fellow Essex girl I can relate to her a lot of her anecdotes.

She has appeared in various television shows, including 8 Out of 10 Cats (2010-2012), Fake Reaction (2013–2014), Virtually Famous (2015–2017), Mock the Week (2015–2018), The Lodge (2016-2017), Stand Up Central (2017), and The Mash Report (2017–present). Her honest, hilarious and moving account of the whys and hows of having a baby makes perfect reading for expectant mothers and fathers everywhere, as well as those who've been there, done that, and wonder how on earth they did.A keen yogi who loves making her own clothes from scratch, Caroline has over 10 years of experience at establishments such as La Pâtisserie des Rêves by Phillippe Conticini, Roland Garros, Balthazar, The Soho Hotel and The Beaumont Hotel. Undoubtably, one of the best things about experiencing this game is seeing how the relationship between protagonists Joel and Ellie develops over the course of four distinct seasons. The postal system and most uses for envelopes might be entirely gone in this world but that’s no reason for them to stop being used to tell hilarious jokes. Her pottery is modern and contemporary, with a fusion of her Dad's retro-inspired style and her mum's Chinese heritage. During my annual play through of the game I always make sure to hear each joke Ellie has to offer because I think they’re just such a great addition to the game and make both of the protagonists feel like living and breathing people.

I’m not saying it’s a bad joke but I think when compared to some of the other culinary heavy hitters on this list, it can’t keep up. Despite of not having children or not even ever being pregnant, I somehow was drawn to it and decided to give it a go. Dahlia'Topmix Pink' bears pretty, single pink flowers with yellow centres, in contrast with dark green foliage. As the mother of a 2-year-old girl, who must have been born not too long after Ellie's daughter, I really enjoyed looking back at that period of time in my own life, through another woman's perspective. It had to be in the top 10 but the thing that makes the joke so good, it’s simplicity, also makes it difficult to justify putting higher up than other jokes that make us work a bit harder for a bigger payoff.

Thinking and speaking in such similar cadence made this such a perfect read, everything made so much sense in my brain because it was explained just as I too would explain it. Which lighten the mood after several intense encounters with hunters and infected during the Pittsburgh section. She followed the photo up with a statement in which she admitted that she had found pregnancy posts "tricky" over the years, and encouraged people to unfollow her if it made them uncomfortable in any way. Even Joel, a disgruntled and hardened survivor who has been living in this post-apocalyptic world for 20 years, still can’t help but finish this joke and give into its charm and lameness. Admittedly, I'm not really the target audience as I don't have any particular interest in children and am not a mother.
