Jordan Gray is a Minecraft pro, comedian, actor and superstar. But what's hiding on her phone?Jordan wrote and starred in ITV’s Transaction, she also recently learnt to play the guitar which is, according to her, the most bisexual instrument! Jordan's homescreen is Evee, 133 in the original pokedex, known as the "Evolution Pokémon" due to its unstable genetic code, which allows it to evolve into one of eight different Pokémon, known as Eeveelutions. We go into Jordan's screentime, which is on slightly higher end so far with a weekly average: just under 10.5 hours a day! 4 hours on netflix, nearly 2 hours on zoom, 1h20 on Instagram.Guest bio:After beginning her career as a singer, she released several independent singles and albums. She appeared on the fifth series of The Voice UK, where she was a semi-finalist; having performed a skit during one of the live shows and preferred it to singing, and after a record label deal was not renewed, she became a comedian, where she was nominated for an Edinburgh Comedy Award for her tour Is It a Bird? in 2022. Her 2022 appearance on Friday Night Live, where she performed a song about her experiences as a transgender woman, stripped naked, and played the piano with her penis, attracted praise and controversy.In 2020, she appeared in Transaction, a six-part series of five-minute shorts for Comedy Central starring Gray as Liv, a narcissistic transgender supermarket worker. She told Gay Star News she wrote it as an attempt to write "a regular tit-for-brains, not some tragic hero", on the grounds that she "was getting bored of seeing [transgender women] represented as either poor suffering saints or hypersexualised villains". She told The List in August 2022 that ITV had ordered a series of full length episodes, which, if it was made, would be the first British television sitcom to feature a transgender lead actor since Boy Meets Girl, which ended in 2016.The same article stated that BBC Radio 4 had ordered a comedy series, Spectacular,which was loosely based on her appearance on The Voice UK and on HBO's The Comeback, where she "play[ed her]self without self-awareness, [as] if comedy hadn't come along and I'd clung to the idea that I could make a living from music off the back of a reality TV appearance" In July 2021, she appeared in BBC Radio 4's Taboo, an exploration of what was and wasn't acceptable in comedy and in January 2022 she appeared as "Future Archaeologist" on the first episode of the second series of Spencer Jones's sitcom, The Mind of Herbert Clunkerdunk.Host: Will Sebag-MontefioreGuest: Jordan GrayProducer: Hugh Smiley
