How do you get a stain out of your favourite top? Why should you add a bayleaf to your pasta sauce? And why should you learn to darn a sock? One woman knows all the answers - and she’s made it her mission to share her knowledge with the world.

Ann Russell is a self-described ‘middle class English old bag’… she’s a self-employed cleaner who has 2.8 million followers on TikTok, where she regularly shares cleaning and general life advice.

She spoke to us about her incredible, accidental journey to TikTok fame, how she feels about the generational divide, and why she’s not afraid to speak her mind on the internet.

Ann’s new book How To Be An Adult: everything you need to know about being a grown up, from bills to break-ups is out on 28th August. You can buy your copy here!
