Sunday with Jameela Jamil: ‘First thing is an hour of coffee, doughnuts and gossip’

‘I was going to name my firstborn Barold, but I decided I don’t want children – so it had to be the dog’: Jameela Jamil.

Up early or lie in? I start being an assistant to two dogs at 7am. I share Winnie Winnipeg with my flatmates. Barold’s name was inspired by a posh friend who thought Barry was short for Barold. I was going to name my firstborn Barold, but I decided I don’t want children – so it had to be the dog.

First thing you do? My boyfriend [musician James Blake] and I have our hour of mandated coffee, doughnuts and gossip. We’re like two little old ladies – it’s been our morning routine for eight years. If I’m filming at 4am, he’ll get up at 3am for gossip, even if he’s not working.
