Christina Geggus

Christina Geggus is Prima’s Junior Writer, focused on entertainment-led lifestyle coverage that links celebrity, TV and everyday living. Her work centres on turning cultural trends and familiar formats into practical shopping and lifestyle guidance, with a consistent emphasis on accessible price points and how pieces fit into day-to-day life. Across fashion, homeware, food and entertainment, she writes service-led stories that point directly to specific products, launches and shows rather than broad commentary.

Entertainment, TV and celebrity coverage

At Prima, Christina covers celebrity and TV through a lifestyle lens, bringing awards shows, new series and horoscope content into an everyday frame. She reports on red-carpet events such as the National Television Awards 2026 by curating standout celebrity looks and spotlighting styling details that translate into readers’ wardrobes.

She previews new entertainment formats, including The Great Celebrity Pottery Throw Down, focusing on launch timing, hosting and why the show is one to watch. Her author bio highlights that she is always looking for the latest crime drama coming to TV, showing an emphasis on mainstream, talkable shows rather than niche programming.

She also supports wider lifestyle content around astrology and personal meaning, contributing to pieces like Prima’s 2026 horoscopes with astrologer Yasmin Boland and explainers on birth flowers that connect calendar moments to personal symbolism.

High-street fashion and occasion dressing

Christina’s fashion coverage centres on high-street brands and wearable trends, with a strong focus on Marks & Spencer, Tesco and Next. She regularly writes about dresses, skirts, jeans and cardigans framed as easy, versatile outfits, such as checked linen-blend midi dresses that work for holidays, brunch and sunny weekends, or abstract-print shirt dresses that go seamlessly from day to night.

Her headlines highlight specific trends - checks, polka dots, navy as a softer alternative to black, belted cardigans and shirts-and-ties - and pair them with clear styling cues like “wear with flats or heels” or “works with flats and boots”.

Price is foregrounded, with references to £22.50 shirts, under-£30 cardigans and £30 jeans, positioning these pieces as attainable wardrobe updates rather than aspirational fashion. Even when she writes about statement items, such as green checked midi dresses or chocolate brown polka-dot skirts, the framing stays practical, focusing on ease of styling and how often the item can be worn across the season.

Homeware, interiors and seasonal updates

Christina extends her shopping focus into homeware and interiors, spotlighting bedding sets, throws, valances and decorative accessories from retailers like Dunelm, Primark, Habitat and John Lewis. She covers trend-led pieces such as Highland Cow bedding, gingham valances that bring back an ’80s bedding look, and burgundy floral reversible duvet sets pitched as simple ways to give a bedroom an autumn refresh. Her headlines emphasise ease and frequency of use - describing polka dot bedding as an “easy bedroom update” or highlighting throws as “affordable autumn home updates” that readers will use on repeat. Functional accessories also feature, including handheld fans presented as “heatwave heroes” that fit in a handbag, and splatter oil and vinegar bottles described as perfect for practical yet stylish kitchen storage. She often notes clever two-in-one designs, such as outdoor pouffes that double as flexible garden seating, reinforcing a focus on utility as well as aesthetics.

Food launches and sweet treats

Food coverage is another strand of Christina’s work, where she tracks supermarket launches and indulgent treats from mainstream brands. She writes news stories on Marks & Spencer products, including chunked loaded cookies that are “flying off the shelves” and pistachio crème snacks billed as ultimate on-the-go treats. She reports on confectionery innovations such as Lindt’s limited-edition chocolate truffle flavours, describing taste profiles and seasonal appeal while signposting availability and price.

These pieces stay close to the launch cycle, highlighting newness and limited runs, and present supermarket food trends as small, accessible pleasures that readers can try quickly.

Shopping-led background and approach

Christina’s current role at Prima builds on a career rooted in lifestyle and e-commerce writing across consumer magazines. She previously worked as a junior writer on online editorial and news content covering a wide range of lifestyle topics, and later specialised in interiors by producing regular shopping pages for a print magazine. She then moved into e-commerce writer roles at titles including Grazia and Closer, where she created shopping-focused online content across fashion, beauty and lifestyle, helping readers find the best buys on the market.

A master’s degree in magazine journalism underpins her structure and clarity, and across all beats her articles share the same service-first approach: clear product naming, pricing and availability, paired with concise guidance on how to wear, use or style each recommendation.
