I have to be honest I feel a bit of a fraud saying I watched it when in reality I got to about six minutes in and bailed. Did anyone else have to explain to their other half why all of a sudden you’ve become deeply invested in a Del Monte live?
My daughter kept asking me what I was going to watch, I felt bad telling her about my mendacious and nefarious reasons for watching it and when the show started she said 'I know who she is' I thought maybe her school had done something worthy about her but she explained 'daddy was watching a video of her on This Morning and he was doing that laugh crying thing'
I haven't really talked to anyone in real life about the cable because I do feel a bit guilty. I only fleetingly enjoy schadenfreude, tonight I just kept thinking 'what would THAT MAN do?'
I'm bestowing him with the imaginary gift of graciousness because I feel guilty imagining him and his mates crowing and slapping each other on the back shouting 'be careful what you wish for!' and 'pride goes before a fall!'.
Obviously they wouldn't say that because nobody is that mendacious in real life life.
Oh begosh and begorrah. I'm doing a guilt.

I’m glad you said that, I thought it, but didn’t like to comment
It might be because the camera is flipped and we're seeing a mirror image of Jack when we're used to seeing her the other way round. I thought she looked different too.

I was expecting tears the whole time, and I wish there was some handwashing post raw chicken handling, but that could've gone a lot worse. I thought the pineapple fact served her well, even if it's a little too convenient. I was impressed she even attempted to answer questions about why she is repping a premium brand. She didn't really answer it, but I was surprised, given the near tears, that she would even go there. All in all, deeply uncomfortable viewing.

I did put myself in her shoes for a minute and the high anxiety made a lot of sense. She didn't promote this anywhere. She knew we were all over it. She knew she was performing for an audience of diseased, faceless bullies. The horror.

Wash your hands, Jack. It's raw chicken.
The pineapple fact seems like balls to me because I buy own brand RINGS. So explain that!

I don’t think THAT MAN knows who she is. He has eleventy billion kids, he’s supervising a restaurant chain collapse, hiding in his shed with a camera crew, cluttering up Southend pier and taking credit for a load of cookbooks. He’s BUSY

That wasn't an official live. Unless their brand identity is lateness and poor performance.

It was my first live jack. #livejack
It was awful. Just awful.
Why bung the ready made one on top of a bed of 'green rice' when nobody knows what the eff green rice is and you don't have time to explain it properly?
Upside down chicken my a.
The teary thing was horrendous, I'm amazed she managed to hold it in so well before the long switch off
