Comic and self-confessed Twitter addict Shappi Khorsandi attempts to go cold turkey on social media for a week. Speaking to Konnie Huq, she talks us through the experience, the ways it changed her perspective on the world and what she did instead. She also talks about getting embroiled in a Twitterstorm, why she doesn't get booked for Have I Got News For You any more and the time that her seven year old asked for “mummy to come off her phone for a day” for Christmas. Switch Off is produced by Tom Green and mixed by John Scott for Ear to Ear.
