She has gone on to be named Columnist of the Year six times. At one point, she was also Interviewer and Critic of the Year - which is good going for someone who still regularly mistypes the as hte.

She co-wrote two series of the Rose dOr-winning Channel 4 sitcom<i>Raised by Wolves</i>with her sister, Caroline.</p><p>Caitlin lives on Twitter with her husband and two children, where she spends her time tweeting either about civil rights issues, or that picture of Bruce Springsteen when he was 23, and has his top off. She would like to be remembered as a very sexual humanitarian.</p>
