Nah…I have NEVER seen anyone on this thread laugh at the tragic situation. I have seen Lorna called out on her behaviour in his final months, I have seen her called out on her exploitation of her terminally ill, suffering husband. I have shared in the collective shock at the PR machine that is reaping rewards from this extra publicity.

We don’t make this up, she’s putting it all out there. Highly recommend listening to the Spill podcast if you want to hear her disdain for this man.

Tattle members have shared their stories of terminally ill family members, they’ve shared concerns for John, and often for Lorna herself.

At the end of the day, we love a bit of snark but we take her as we find her. It’s commentary.

Personally I’m glad she’s taking time away. We’ve been saying this was needed for months.

What I will also say is that, as bizarre as that setup is - he’s looked like the cat that got the cream for the duration of that marriage and he’s shown tremendous strength showing up to the end, even if it was for Lorna’s ring light and tripod.

I think most of us here would wish John a peaceful departure from this life and no one will take any pleasure from reading that its happened.
His wife might not have respected him but I do think his illness and decline has been covered here respectfully. Most of us horrified by Lornas actions.
Remember she is the one that kept dragging him to hotels and photos boots etc, kept him on camera whilst dismissing him.
There will be speculation as her account has changed in the past couple of days and we know that his death is inevitably close.

I dont feel theres anything ghoulish in discussing it.

Just seen her update….as much as I feel bad for him maybe stop traveling, staying in hotels and socialising and go fucking home and let the poor man rest in peace and comfort.

Seeing her for what she is doesn’t mean I wish or have ever wished John ill.
Far from it. I lost my husband to a rare cancer when he was young and it’s absolutely the worst and cruel thing- but in my mind her behaviour over the last few years is even more inexplicable and inexcusable.
I don’t ever recall wondering how I’d get through the day - or how I needed to prioritise myself - or how much I needed a holiday or shopping and validation from strangers.
Of course I had friends/ family who said “ you’ve got to look after yourself ” but it was more a turn of phrase than “ you need a manicure and to bob off to soho farm house”
My husband thankfully had lots of friends and family as well- unlike John who seems to have either electively or otherwise lived a life of entire isolation other than worshiping an unfaithful and mainly lesbian narcissist wife.
But she won’t change. This is almost the perfect scenario for someone like her… the attention and opportunity that will arise from this will be everything she has ever wanted and more.

New to the thread and it's clear to me that the comments come from a place of sadness, worry and pity for John and horror at Lorna so callously documenting and portraying every detail of John and his illness. Not one person has wished ill on John or Lorna and most have actually highlighted their concern that Lorna is likely going to struggle with the situation, as you'd expect people would, but from previous behaviours are expecting her eventual news about John to be more centred on a curated image, rather than sincerity.

I have no doubt though that ever poster here would be happy to wrong about that, for John's sake.

I really don’t understand the whole “loving wife” narrative that keeps being pushed. It’s painfully obvious that she got with him for the money and the lifestyle he could provide, and honestly, there’s nothing inherently wrong with that. In the same way, it’s just as obvious that he got with her because he found her attractive and interesting. That was the exchange. Let’s not pretend otherwise.

What’s confusing is why we all have to participate in this elaborate facade that it was ever about some great, sweeping love story. Be serious. That man was never exactly a heartthrob, even at his peak, and forcing this romantic rewrite of history feels unnecessary and disingenuous.

And to be quite honest, he doesn’t even come across as comfortable in the videos. I don’t care what anyone says, a lot of it looks staged and awkward. There’s a visible stiffness, a performative quality that’s hard to ignore. Especially that strap reel! Nothing about it felt natural, relaxed, or genuine.

Then there are the constant holidays and talk of moving. The idea of pressuring a dying person to travel, to relocate, to stay upbeat for content, it’s absurd. At some point, “making memories” crosses into ignoring reality. Sometimes the most humane thing you can do is let someone rest instead of dragging them through a lifestyle narrative that’s more about optics than compassion.

Honestly, she should go offline for a while. Truly offline. Take this time to be present with him, privately, without an audience. Because sooner or later, she won’t have him anymore. What she will have is the money, the freedom, the ability to go on trips and live that lifestyle regardless. The least she could do now is stop performing and just be there.

I also want to add something after reading through the wider discussion. It’s clear that Lorna has lost a significant amount of weight, and there are mentions of her struggling with disordered eating. Speaking as someone who had an eating disorder severe enough to result in hospitalisation, I recognise certain patterns. When you’re deep in it, the praise becomes fuel. The “you look amazing” comments don’t help, they reinforce the behaviour. Confidence at that stage can be misleading, because it’s often tied to getting smaller, not healthier.

That’s the real concern. When people with eating disorders gain access to weight loss drugs, there’s rarely an end point. Smaller is never small enough. Watch this space.

Wonder why it’s sentimental ? Surely she didn’t wear it to the funeral ?
Possibly! Though I reckon everything will be sentimental now. “John, the legend, absolutely loved polyester” “this one’s easy iron, he loved ironing did John” “use code JOHN to buy this dress that gives mild static shocks”

One thing about terminal cancer is there are so many unknowns. Some people live a long time before they reach the actively dying stage. Some people decline incredibly fast. My point being, people have to carry on living while they’re going through it with a loved one.

There’s also a lot of denial on all sides. The person, their family, outsiders who are scared of stating the obvious.

This is why the event was planned and also why it took a while to cancel it IMO. It’s not necessarily that people are stupid and selfish, there’s a lot of walking on eggshells with people feeling quite reluctant to acknowledge what is actually happening.

I wasn't planning to ever comment here but I can't believe what I'm seeing and need the reassurance from my fellow Tattlers that it's not just me who is deeply sickened by all this.

She’s unbelievable I can see it now ‘hiya, Johns dead, I’ve just popped in to see him at the morgue and put the final touches to his suit he’ll be wearing on his big day. I had to cut it short and I’m not sure I’ll be able to make the funeral as I’ve a photo shoot with an exciting new brand which I know you’ll all love so I’ll have to reschedule his funeral which is inconvenient but anyway, got to pop as I’ve got an event tonight and I’m staying over in London which I really need right now but I’m coping really well and thanks for all your well wishes. Oh btw hope you like my outfit I’ll link the details below’

I've not followed lorna for long and initially quite liked her humour and story delivery. Thinking something was a little amiss re John's illness i thought I'd have a browse on here so I've been lurking on this thread for a few months but not commented.

I; like the rest of you, cannot wrap my head around this situation at all. Part of me wants to think it's denial however the cynic in me knows how lucrative grief tourism is and thinks this is the next stage of brand building. TBH quite Clever from a business perspective and must have the agreement of John however it is now coming across as crass, cold and manipulative. Poor John! To leave the love of your life to experience this on his own is truly awful. He must be terrified of the next steps and to not be able to discuss these intense feelings with your person because you are putting them first is so unbelievably sad for John. To not have your person there, to drop everything else to care for you is, again incredibly sad for John.
I know there has been a lot of negatives on these pages about John but he doesn't seem like a bad old stick. He just seems a bit lost in adoration, perhaps enabling it but during these times he should be receiving back the care and adoration he has shown to his wife 10 fold.
I'm so baffled by what is unfolding!
I could come on and say many words but at the end of the day don't know these people to make a personal comment regarding their personality, I can only make observation on what is in front of my eyes and I'm always left with the words POOR JOHN.

November was a good month for Lorna. It was all about her. Her favourite kind of month.

She’s now fully immersed in concrete car park living & the Ghost House was featured on a tele programme with Abbey Clancy. Shag only knows how Lorna was invited to participate in the programme alongside other women who possess taste, style and class. We can only assume it’s something to do with current bestie-super-sketcher Charley. He seems to have fingers in many an influencer pie.
Highlights of the show ( aside from AC’s repulsion) were Lorna’s lack of chin, her natural size, that ridiculous absolutely fucking gigantic blazer, the thoroughly awful flammable pink sofa covers, and the foetid green mould growing up the stairs. Her hair looked horrific. A family of Pygmy’s might even have been living in those manky extensions.

There is perfume on display in the cinema room giving Amsterdam knocking shop vibes. The floors look like they’ve been lifted from a public pissoir and the bathroom seems only to be missing a glory hole.
There was erratic dropping of the h’s to seem relatable. ( didn’t work).
Summary, The Ghost House is a soulless, random box in suburbia. A brutal embarrassment that’s nothing but an ego trip.

John has been dressing up in her WOS clothes. Weird for anyone, let alone a geriatric.

In happier news, John was given the “All clear” in early November after his treatment.

Lorna strung people along for engagement and talked about “ scanxiety” recognising this as something to monetise, an opportunity to sell sell sell, segueing from cancer to affiliate links in 15 seconds flat. No sooner had he been given the all clear, she was back to making it all about Lorna and promptly dragged him off to shoot some WOS shit.

All aboard the Ali-G express to Paris!

The full compliment of cling-ons were in attendance, the gakked up gays , Jeffrey Dahmer and Billie Piper, all of whom were sniffing ket in an apartment courtesy of WOS.

The Luxes stayed in the Ritz. Obvs.
Lorna wore an Uber chavvy Dior anorak .. bread crumbing for what was later to come…



We have learned from the WOS launches (which seemingly happen most weeks) is that she’s doing exactly what she did at ITS. Except now she’s charging obscene amounts for a “cashmere blend” ( mainly acrylic) and 100% poly-sparkly shit that no one will EVER wear twice.

The TITS particularly loved WOS pre-warning the consumer as to how shit the clothes are by way of the descriptive top tip: “use a bobble to refresh your Delphine joggers" ( Aka - these expensive joggers ARE going to bobble, you absolute twats! But buy them anyways!)

No sooner were they back from Paris, they headed to the Maldives for 2 whole weeks but Lorna had to pretend it was 3. Week 1 was at the Ritz Carlton Maldives and week 2 was somewhere they’ve been before. It rained most of the time they were there, so Lorna recycled the same images day in day out.

They did have some fun though, as they met up with some great friends whilst at the Ritz Carlton Maldives. Memory Chasers extraordinaire- Trevor and Simon.

They appear to be 2 Middle Aged swingers living out some weird fantasy “ travel blogger” lifestyle, whilst in reality they look more suited to the sticky floors of the local WMC.

Lorna decided to tell the world about Johns unfortunate gastric issues that he experienced for 2 hours on the flight which was completely unnecessary, but useful when flogging the WOS DIOR RIP OFF kagool ! Wow. Who saw that coming?
She modelled a Gucci nightie on the beach as she did exactly 2 years before. And she wrote the same text about not coming this far to come this far.

She also pretended she was 6ft a few times and got a little bit rosé-happy with the leg stretching capability on FaceApp.

She wore a black dress on the beach and posed like an absolute CLOWN.

Then it was announced very suddenly that John had received an urgent call from his surgeon after a recent scan. Followed by SILENCE.

Queen Baby, the master of manipulation.

Turns out it wasn’t such bad news after all- but John will require further surgery for which Lorna will almost definitely deserve another holiday and a few more handbags.

WOS candles have been handed out to all and sundry, but there are plenty left if you want to spank £45 on a candle that has the rancid stench of damp, concrete , cigarettes and fake tan.

So the Luxes are back in the Ghost House hankering down for Xmas , rapidly approaching Lorna’s yearly week of manic depression. We might also expect comedic sketches about the movement of baubles, oversized turkeys and a billion affiliate ad links for gifts she’s definitely not buying, for friends she absolutely doesn’t have. There will also be a Xmas trip to SohoFarmhouse
And last but not least… the Chanel handbag giveaway is back..Lorna Luxe. Buying followers with fake giveaways since 2018.



Happy Christmas everyone.

I never warmed to Lorna and in fact she irritated the hell out of me but i do feel for her with our assumptions about her grieving/not grieving. I snuck out of my family home to host my friends birthday party less than a week after my dad died. 😳 For me it was an escape and an opportunity to pretend life was normal for a bit. Grief is so individual. It can come and go, had no time limits and affects everybody differently. My mum threw herself into work as an escape because it meant pretending she was ok and that was easier than crumbling. I still remember hearing her sobs late at night yet the minute she came out of her bedroom, you would think she was a stone faced cow cracking on with life in the immediate aftermath of her husband dying 😔 My grandad spent over a year in deep depression after my dad died, crying constantly yet one of us siblings didn’t cry until it hit them like a tonne of bricks 2 years later.

I’ve grieved. I’ve been present at the end of life.
I absolutely know that two days later I was in no fit state to be posting online. I was barely able to get out of bed. It’s just so bizarre to be online posting for the validation of absolute strangers rather than seeking comfort from your loved ones.
I’m a child psychologist and grief counselor. Many people post on social media when they are grieving. It’s an outlet for expression, and it must feel reflexive for her, since it’s also her work, just as it seems to be for her other friends who are posting about John. She seems to be mostly sharing other people’s posts anyway, and she didn’t post immediately after he died. For people even remotely in the public eye, it seems expected to share a statement on social media. If she were selling lipstick, I would find it strange, but this seems fairly normal in the modern digital era.
