Sam Taylor is the ex-Editor of The Lady, England’s longest-running women’s magazine.  She frequently contributes to radio discussion shows and has appeared on Made in Chelsea as Georgia Toffolo’s boss.  Sam started her journalism career on the London listings magazine City Limits, eventually becoming an editor.  She has since held several senior editorial roles at newspapers including The Independent, The Guardian and the Daily Mail.
