Celebrity magazine Heat has just appointed a new editor.
Sam Delaney, who has previously worked as a journalist, author, broadcaster and columnist, is to become editor of the weekly magazine.
Delaney replaces Julian Linley who was appointed creative director (TV) at Bauer Media earlier this month.
Delaney said: “I’ve always thought Heat was brilliant and now I get to edit it which is very exciting. I look forward to strengthening its reputation as the funniest, sharpest and cheekiest celebrity magazine on the newsstand.”

He will report to Heat’s publisher, Liz Settle. She said: “He combines a deep understanding of and respect for the Heat brand, with a freshness of approach and incorrigible sense of humour that will accelerate momentum behind the magazine’s recent circulation success. His wit and energy will invigorate the brand across all its platforms.”
