We read the papers so you don’t have to. Today: Gen Z has a new heroine in Bridget Jones, according to The i. But Ava’s not buying it. Over at The Daily Mail, Liz Jones’s love life gets another plot twist, and Gráinne and Miranda’s have their popcorn ready. Plus – The Guardian is on a mission to uncover the UK’s sexiest accent.

Miranda Sawyer is joined by a star-studded lineup of Paper Cuts faves, including Gráinne Maguire, Andrew Harrison, Rosie Holt, Ava Santina, Natasha Devon and the big cheese himself, Marcus Brigstocke.
