Lilah Ramzi, Vogue, 2nd November 2018Review: Travels With My Father, series 2, episode 1
After a first series in which Jack Whitehall and his perma-grumpy dad tried to live out Jack's gap year fantasies in the Far East the second series find the Whitehalls closer to home and adventuring around Europe.

British Comedy Guide, 26th April 2018Jack Whitehall could be the next James Corden: good
Hosting the Brit Awards is a notoriously tough gig. The venue, London's O2 Arena, is a soulless corporate barn of a room. For one night only, it's stuffed to the guestlist gills with back-slapping music biz freeloaders, who are thirstily availing themselves of the free-flowing booze, making frequent bathroom trips and more interested in braying at each other than paying attention to what's happening on-stage.
