Shelina Parmeloo (she won Masterchef a few years back) put up a long Insta post yesterday in which she commented on how “white” the TV food industry is, and that it’s such a closed shop. It is well worth a read (and she’s worth a follow too). When you see someone as hopeless as Jack being given all these opportunities, you can see Shelina’s point.
I think to keep an eye on her, there's no love lost thereI tried to have a cheeky peek on IG at 5pm but it was running late so I had a look for Alexis and followed her (see, you fab chefs are rubbing off on me! Not literally though, there’s a law against that kind of thing) but when I went back to JM, I saw that Alexis follows her. Maybe she has for sometime, or maybe she’s following her to ‘keep an eye’ or maybe whatever JM said in her DM, Alexis was fine with it.
I think part of the problem is SO many people go live on Facebook and Insta and do a brilliant job of it. For better or worse, loads of people are broadcasting themselves all the time. And so many people with no training, no experience, no money, no support make professional, engaging content with just their phone. So why can't she do it? It's evidently not that hard.
A classic case of when 2 narcs collide. A pair of pricks, which I think the judge in the case pretty much pointed out. A bleep salad if you will
I borrow the digital version for free on my library’s app and screenshot any recipes I like
I stopped buying it years ago when I realised most recipes appear on the website with a couple of weeks or they feature ones already on there. I only ever buy the Christmas one as it feels like an event! (I obviously live a very mundane life)
I’d think they’d definitely want to reduce it (and are probably well within their rights to) if she can’t even start the Live on time. Because then she hasn’t delivered what they’ve paid for, i.e. a full show.
Think it must be recent, she wasn't following her 2 days ago. My guess is the latter. She was incredibly vocal on her IG stories today.I tried to have a cheeky peek on IG at 5pm but it was running late so I had a look for Alexis and followed her (see, you fab chefs are rubbing off on me!

I'm loving Alexis at the moment! She's got a gorgeous looking duck and butternut squash recipe I'm going to attempt this weekend!

She puts me in mind of those betting ads where the bloke says "when the fun stops, stop! Realistically how the hell can she be enjoying this, she nervous, she muddled, she making mistakes, having to cut bits out or close up early. She's even been brought to tears on a few occasions as it's all got too much. I honestly cannot see how it can be fun. I know people get mega stressed in their jobs all the time, but she doesn't have to be on telly, she could use her writing schools and bring books out for schools teaching kids how to make the basics on the cheap instead of heading to McDonald's, she could make recipies for pensioners living on their own and struggling for inspiration. She could do simple cheap meals for students living out on their own for the first time. ( It's been done but she could do a vegan one or perhaps a book of easy to make cheap fake aways or cocktails.there is much out there and it isnt all on the TV. Also perhaps she could use normal ingredients in the foods as well as the obscure. I know we all have our random tins of tinned crap we thought was an ideal impulse purchase laying in the depths of the cupboard and no idea what to do with it, but sometimes people just have exactly what is says on the tin ie a range of normal ingredients but no inspo or clue on how to work it into a decent meal.
She can’t answer as she had no logical reason for building the Shed Kitchen, then the Dining Room kitchen instead of just using the actual Real kitchen, other than she’s a massive attention seeking drama queen.
having a bad day, Jack?!
evidently she’s assuming everyone is a tattler. Bad call.
Must say I did HOOT at the jedward person who kept telling her she’d left the gas on
The full judgement is online (I like to read these sort of things), and tbh Jack didnt exactly come out of it covered with glory.
It's an interesting read, if only because it reinforces how unlikely it would be for Jack to succeed with any legal action against Tattle.
I don’t, he has rubbery lips
i tried to find a gif of him doing that blublub lip thing he does, but no joy. Mr Bean lips is an amusing google search though! Anyhow, finally caught up after I took the evening off, yet kept thinking of Jack.
Like what does she do, when people aren’t tweeting her etc, does she sit and contemplate what a pickle she’s in. I think that’s why she’s always doing things, to be distracted. It’s sad really. But in reality she’s the Principal from the Simpsons meme come to life, No, it is the tattlers who are wrong.
Hello.
I've had to skip bits because the thread moved so fast and I'm trying to do school at home for 2 primary aged kids, cook food and wash clothes etc.
I just wanted to say how sorry I am for those who've been having a hard time recently and how sad I am about what happened the other night. I'd always thought Bellybutton Lint was really cool and funny so it was a massive disappointment to see her be so insensitive about race but it almost didn't seem like it was her - do you think someone got hold of her account? She'd always seem so witty and erudite before that but then really crass and a bit unintelligent afterwards. Kudos to those who called her out with grace and kindness that perhaps wasn't deserved. I just don't know.
These are bad times - Trump, racism, corona, climate catastrophe - how do you take it all in and stay sane? I seem to veer between ignoring it and getting totally overwhelmed. I never feel like I'm doing enough.
I don't really care about Jack any more! I just liked the food chat, mutual support and laughs.
Yel, I agree with you about Captain America. (swoon). He's just so decent and lovely. And fit.

Looooooooooove buying the Christmas edition and marking recipes to make. It, for me, truly is the most wonderful time of the year (for me and my waistband).
ok yeah. She’s a cow.
ETA. Maybe she thinks she's a Tattle contributor so will be on the defensive. She has 270k followers. How many follow on here. Statistically it's not one of us. Imagine working for a brand and replying to a twitter comment like that. Fired!Deffo not Little Miss Sunshiney Perfect... more like snarky bint.

My last post was supportive. Because I feel like she can offer something positive and good. But this is a slap in the face. Wow.
