I may have misinterpreted it actually having scrolled back or it might have been in her stories but I couldn’t see a reference to a specific falling out other than they had a bit of a Rocky friendship at timesI missed this, what did Gizzi say/write?
Ah sorry I meant with Mallika and the Asian cooking commentsI may have misinterpreted it actually having scrolled back or it might have been in her stories but I couldn’t see a reference to a specific falling out other than they had a bit of a Rocky friendship at times
Oh sorry my bad!Ah sorry I meant with Mallika and the Asian cooking comments
No no no, not Margate, just the very very nearby next town over! It's one short stop away on the train. A 5 minute drive! I'd be more upset by that answer tbh!
Why not just apologise rather than double downDid Gizzi really spend “almost 10 years” in Thailand? I’m sceptical.
You missed the “almost”. Such a flexible word.Cook Yourself Thin started in 2007, so if she came back from Thailand after ten years right before that, it would have been 1997 when she went out there, so she was 18 when she went out there… Where did she fit in culinary school?
This is such a stupid move by her. Crying ‘cancel culture’ is such a right wing move, whereas you’d think she’d position herself on the liberal left. Guess when she feels all ‘Wah Wah Wah everyone’s picking on me’ ideology doesn’t come into it! I used to be such a fan of hers, when Twitter first became ‘a thing’ we had numerous back and forths about food. Now she just seems like a self-obsessed arse.View attachment 865177
She's being disingenuous on her Stories. No one has 'cancelled' her she chose to behave like a dick.
Mallika was gracious enough to send her a DM in order to point out her concerns. Many of the Twitterati would have just gone directly into her public feed.
Oh gosh I’d forgotten about the veg box malarkey!!!There was a time about 10 years ago when Gizzi was on telly quite a bit, and kept popping up on other people’s shows. It didn’t really take off, and she has a much lower profile now, but I’d say she’s probably getting more work than Jack Monroe, for example.
But she does seem to have a grandiose streak - a rather inflated view of her own importance. That DJ thing is a good example - that and trying to charge a veg box company for an acknowledgment, when they’d done her mum a favour in early lockdown. This is not a pleasant trait. Especially combined with her extreme levels of self-absorption.
She seems to have had a few restaurant businesses too, but nothing has really stuck so far.
Quick search brings up this explanation of her time in Thailand. So sounds like she was out there sometimes due to her mum's work. Though the way she described it in her Insta rant, it sounded like she'd spent years out there working? I saw an article from 2015, where she says she went back to Thailand "last year" for the first time in 15 years, so she would have been done in Thailand by 1999, age 20.Cook Yourself Thin started in 2007, so if she came back from Thailand after ten years right before that, it would have been 1997 when she went out there, so she was 18 when she went out there… Where did she fit in culinary school?
I remember reading that and wondered who it was about!View attachment 866439
Stolen from the Sali Hughes thread - Gizzi posted this a few years ago, it’s presumed it’s about Elly “Pear” Curshen.
Completely agree about her poor cat. Multiple pregnancies are not good for the poor cat at all (it’s one of the reasons why stray female cats have such a short lifespan). But hey, what does that matter when you can get Insta likes for the kitten pics.I remember her popping up on TV and in newspapers quite a bit with her ex fiance Dean Martin, I remember finding her quite irritating even back then, there was something about her.
She had a very strong image back then so i was amazed when I looked at her Instagram, what on earth has she done to her appearance?
And she needs to get that cat spayed
