‘I’ll be sure to share the air date in Australia when I know and yes one of my ring lights in sitting in a mop bucket, only the best setups for me’.
She then added the hashtags ‘#drphil #americantalkshow #specialguest #advocacy #awareness #helpingothers #drphil’.
The ‘advocacy’ hashtag is likely a reference to Greig’s advocacy work with vulnerable youth and for endometriosis and cyberbullying.
