gizzi erskine : Most liked Posts

“I’ve written 3 diet books and two massive tv shows and the fact that I have to go on a massive diet every quarter shows what a load of unachievable old tosh they were”.

Gizzi: I’ve put on a substantial amount of weight and despite throwing every effort at preventing it, I am losing this battle with my own body

Also Gizzi: Here's my cauli cheese. l just added sausages shaped into meatballs and fried smoked bacon in with the roasted cauliflower before drowning in cheese sauce

yeah she said she tried microdosing and it didn’t work so now she macro-doses once a month which just sounds like getting fucked up with your mates to me.

I macrodose wine once a week to help with my ailments in that case

(P.S you deserve a lottery win for listening to the 12 inch extended version of her bullshit!)

What a stupid article that is. Surprised that it even got published. So much going on in the world and so many people needing a voice but nope, let’s post a dear diary entry from a chef who doesn’t understand a calorie deficit.

bring back Secret Eaters, I would love a gizzi special where she’s ‘alarmed’ that a say-when pudding isn’t healthy.

Seriously, her and Jack Monroe - two cheeks of the same arse.

Don’t drink and post ladies

Oh great, there’s more

However I made her fake wagamamas katsu curry several times and it’s really good. She is a good cook but seems a bit volatile and ungrateful.

Eeesh. Not sure I'd feel very comfortable with that post and pics if I were his partner. Especially when people are commenting things like this:

I think she looks lovely there

Also adding to the chorus line in thinking how utterly bizarre it is. The posts don't read that well, it has the flavour of sex blogger of the early noughties using sex as a personality trait - before they (or at least a chunk of the women) were outed publicly. It feels about 20 years out of date.

She says she will reveal her face at 1m followers, though she's not exactly making it difficult to identify herself in the interim.

Additionally bizarre that Gizzi thinks of herself as an OG. Whilst her image was slightly-edgy-but-posh-underneath, it was never, "I had cherry lube in my shopping basket alongside artisanal bread and the lady at the till fainted."

I'm getting over Covid and the brain fog is real. It's horrible, I don't feel like myself. Fuck off Gizzi.

???? She used to be happy having acute ADHD before everyone started talking about it on the internet???

I don't know why I even attempt to understand what point she's trying to make, she's just too dumb for words.

It's because she's not special anymore, she doesn't want to be diagnosed with a common thing that lots of common ordinary people have. She wants a special unique unicorn diagnosis.

She needs to shut the fuck up about Bourdain's suicide. She hasn't got the intelligence, empathy or sensitivity to possibly understand the complexity of what happened.

She's terrified of not being special.

perfect thread title!

Looks like it…

I’m aware I haven’t seen or heard enough of him to fairly make this judgement - but I get the vibe that he isn’t really that into her

She loves those kind of guys. Always smoking. Come across as a bit druggy, skinny and a bit smelly and nonchalant about her. The kind of guy you date in your teens and early 20s. Blake Fielder-Civil vibes.

Gizzi… daughter of a baron but also of the streetz…

One of my least favourite things about her is her tone deaf hinting at how rough her life has been. That she’s incredibly close to the less privileged. She’s probably talking about her own personal drug dealers something I like to call “PGT”… oh really Gizzi? Did you have strong feelings about “PGT” when you helped open Mare Street Market in Hackney you patronising hypocrite? Yeah I bet you were hanging out on the estate between flogging shit pizza making all your new best mates that you can now complain on behalf of on Instagram

Also this ramble doesn’t even make a lot of sense. The show when I watched it when it came out 10 + years ago was from the perspective of the gangs. No idea what she is going on about, but pretty sure she’s doing a Jack monroe (again) and positioning herself where she doesn’t belong for clout. And criticising something because she thinks it makes her edgy.

I think she mentioned it to sound edgy/in the know really, but there's also a bit of scientific of research going on at the moment looking into the effectiveness of microdosing pyschedelics for treating mental health issues such as ADHD, depression, bipolar, anxiety etc. From the anecdotal data I've seen it's really effective for a certain number of people out there, but research and trials are still in the early stages so I don't know why an addict would even consider it this early in their sobriety.

FYI, ADHD isn’t a mental health condition, it’s a neurodevelopmental disorder. Sorry to be pedantic, but I have it, and it’s something that even well-meaning people misunderstand.

Drinking whilst “talking about addiction”

Ugh. I’ve been thinking a lot about internalised misogyny and the male gaze over the weekend and this just reads as so icky (for want of a better word).

Agree completely, find the whole thing truly bizarre. It’s very Jack Monroe in the way of writing too? I don’t get who this appeals to, I “get” Nigella’s schtick but this is not the same? This post is v bizarre:

Grim woman.

His ex is v brave. I just read her saved stories.

Grizzi will do anything to remain pals with men. Pick me woman.

Plus, I’m not sure it’s much of a “comeback” when she wasn’t exactly “there” in the first place.
As I recall, there was a big push on trying to make her “happen”, so she popped up on other people’s shows a bit, and then she had some dodgy TV show about losing weight where she suggested you fry onions in water (WTF?), and then it all fizzled out. That would have been well over 10 years ago.
I’m not sure how she’s supported herself all these years. Lots of freebies, but that stuff doesn’t actually pay the mortgage. And she’s had so many “business” ventures go bad (like that pizza thing with Prof Green, and that grotty looking restaurant in Margate).
I don’t doubt she can cook, but she’s not exactly a likeable public persona so as for a “comeback”?
Hmm.

17 years ago. Anybody watching that show with a baby or small child thinking that they could do with losing a bit of baby weight when looking at a 28 year old in an Audrey Hepburn costume could easily have that same baby or small child driving off to work or at university now.

It's an entire generation ago.
