Julia Hunt
Julia Hunt is a freelance entertainment journalist whose work spans television, music and celebrity coverage for The Mirror and other outlets.
She writes entertainment pieces for The Mirror, focusing on television formats, drama launches and audience-facing angles rather than industry news.
The Chase and game show coverage
Hunt’s recent Mirror archive includes coverage of ITV quiz show The Chase, built around episodes where fans “all say the same thing” and insist the outcome is “not fair”.
The headline foregrounds viewer complaints, showing her interest in how audiences respond to the structure and perceived fairness of popular game shows.
This kind of piece turns an individual broadcast into a short story about collective reaction, highlighting which moments become focal points in fan discussion.
BBC drama trailers and series launches
Hunt covers returning television drama, including a piece on the BBC unveiling a “chilling” trailer for a “suspenseful” drama coming back for series three.
In that work she draws on the language used around the trailer, framing the tone of the series through descriptors like “chilling” and “suspenseful” and signalling the shift into the new run.
Her focus on trailers and launch materials places promotional assets at the centre of the story, connecting marketing moments with audience anticipation.
Music and celebrity narratives
Beyond television, Hunt writes about musicians and celebrities, including a verified piece on a member of band Busted discussing mental health and addiction.
That article details the performer’s struggles with alcohol and heavy cocaine use, drawing on material from his programme Fighting Addiction and quoting his description of not being able to get to midday without drinking.
Her framing keeps the focus on personal experience and recovery, positioning entertainment figures as subjects of candid, sometimes difficult, life stories rather than purely promotional profiles.
Taylor Swift Eras Tour coverage
Hunt’s work also includes coverage of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, where she contributes to a series that summarises each performance city by city for Newsweek.
Those pieces sit at the intersection of live music reporting and fandom, capturing how a global tour is documented show by show for an international audience.
The combination of tour summaries, television game-show reaction pieces and drama trailer coverage shows her interest in large-scale, serialised entertainment events, whether on stage or on screen.
