The media is definitely complicit. She’s only been getting away with it for so long because her story has been printed and regurgitated for years with seemingly no one asking any proper questions or corroboration of basic facts.
She's watched Les Miserables too many times.
But seriously, yes, it's amazing that few ever questioned this narrative, which she has repeated over and over again like a script. The stuff about trudging for miles in the pouring rain in search of jobs with a toddler in tow... ugh! I don't know what's worse, that it could all be a massive lie or that she subjected her child to this through pride instead of reaching out to her support network of family and friends. She describes having handed out flyers for her house sale - it seems *so* unlikely that she could have done this without word getting back to her family about her predicament.
I'm rather excited to be honest. Might even play with the pressure washer.8000 A4? Just asking for a pal...

My partner has the pressure washer at his house atm, and I keep looking at my patio and longing to blast it.
I hope this is to launch a cooking show to entertain us without our regular DK mornings?
It's MATT TIME! With added Shivi and Alex Horne bonus!
'(....)seasoned with a bit of fun'
... Unlike a couple of weeks ago!

Double, possibly triple, that. She walked the whole of Essex delivering flyers from a wheelbarrow salvaged from a skip. And then she pawned the printer for a box of Weetabix.
Saturday Kitchen with Shivi, a TV natural and I’m looking forward to her cooking .
She’s a great cook , she’d be brilliant on DKL if it comes back.

According to the NYT her parents were well aware, certainly before the point she sold her belongings including her child’s toys.

my family would be mortified if I was peddling these stories to the press and social media when all I had to do is ask. Her child has a father and she has her mum!
Selling her kid's toy. Classy. What was the point of that? Was it made of 24 carat gold? Charity shops practically give away children's toys.
Is this her first time in the studio?
She's really good, but does seem to be finding her feet a bit which is totally understandable if this is all new. It's a world apart from that woman who could never.
A trick that really works well (without a pressure washer) pails of hot soapy water with some vinegar if you have it. Or you can use bottled lemon juice. Snork. Just throw it on the patio, use a broom to wish it around and voila! Top tip from my old boy.
To tug heartstrings. People feel sorrier for a 'small blue eyed 2 year old toddler' than they would a grown woman too proud to admit she needs help and forcing her child to live like that rather than ask for help from friends and family.
If only a single journalist or editor had asked this question in the past eight years.
That story about the toy is beyond ridiculous
Blocked by La Monroe or just Rosa? It's so true - that sort of blocking is the equivalent of a child putting their fingers in their ears and going LA LA LA I'M NOT LISTENING.
Shivi is a breath of fresh air on the show and I love her outfit
