I love the idea that they think that THAT MAN successful in his own right would be arsed about her cooking enough to copy it. I mean he can cook and his food doesn't look like jizz or vom. So theres that for starters.
I’m afraid I won’t be watch-a-longing THAT MAN tonight much as I would like as I’ll be hopefully watching the kickyball if our fans don’t bugger the whole game up again. I’m sure Jack is on tenterhooks also.
As a Hastings resident ( come at me Jack 
) I can confirm that it does indeed have a large community of DFL’s (Down From London) OFB’s (Over From Brighton) and my favourite acronym ‘FILTH’s - (Failed in London, Trying Hastings). It does have many art galleries and a creative community, but also terrible poverty rates and long standing issues with drugs. One thing locals and the DFL crew will be able to agree on is that none of us need this grifting shite-weasel turning up, besmirching the good name of Catherine Cookson with her tales of woe and bollock-sausages!

Oh god her tweets were so much more embarrassing than I remember! "I hope this is the start of a new adventure for this naughty little duo"Here are Jack's tweets the day DKL finishedAnnoyingly I couldn't find the one thanking Mrs Matt.
Sadly it wasn't the start of a new adventure for 'this naughty little duo'
(Thankyou @Silver Linings x)

And is that shade from TV's Mr Affable?

She gets ahead of herself in ALL relationships doesn't she? I'm out for dinner and want to slide under the table with second hand shame, awkward AF! 
Thank(space)you
Enjoy the Ice Cream. I can't find that tweet. I'm guessing they were shown the Jeremy Kyle bit and deleted the tweet in panic. Unless I'm looking in the wrong place.
I think her fate was sealed with the bullying afterwards.
She patrolled twitter for any tweet remotely related to DKL. Some didn't even tag her and just said innocuous things. She went crazy at them. Really nasty cruel stuff. Then sent the FMs in to attack. There are people on here who only joined tattle because they got death threats and doxxed by her precious minions. She also tagged Matt, BBC and Cactus in them, thinking she'd get a pat on the head for 'protecting' the show.
It was so unprofessional and incredibly stupid. No wonder they've wiped her from history.
Even the bit in bold, if she is doing talks in schools, which clearly she isn’t, what the duck is she saying that is helping anyone or anything? I’ve spent my entire adult life working in education
and I can’t think of a single time either a staff member or a student would have found anything she speaks about either useful, inspirational or interesting.
This is super interesting. I haven’t watched them and don’t know if I can bring myself to, but I always just assumed that she tried her absolute best, and prepared, but was just terrible and not cut out for TV. Is the consensus that she just swanned in, thinking she was the talent and didn’t need to try particularly hard? (Thereby misunderstanding what a true skilled profession TV presenting is, of course.)
I think that’s part of it, but also her absolute of lack of knowledge about and passion for food, and lack of cooking/creative ability was blatantly apparent. And that she’s awkward, uncomfortable, inept, defensive and SO INCREDIBLY RUDE.
How does any adult think that is an appropriate way to behave? Absolutely jaw dropping.
Doubtless in Jack's head she was an entertaining smol chaos scamp. She seems to think IShe is naturally good at lots of things, songing, drawing, writing, cooking...
In reality she may have been ok if she'd bothered preparing and taken advice. But she didn't down I she wasn't.
I love that after she realised there would be no laughing up of lungs to own the trolls she tried to put about a sad little rumour that she had a reputation as difficult because she’s just So Not Neurotypical and TV Folk Can Be So Cruel, but now we know c/o the Reddit thread that, in fact, she has a reputation as difficult because she demanded a £1k haircut to grate corned beef.
Really makes you think.

I nominate Matt for a retrospective BAFTA…. Just for pulling her through 1 episode, they could get Jamie Oliver to present it…. Small explosion in Southend. Managed to watch 20 mins of episode 2, OMG he’s having to pull every word out of her mouth, the ‘ We can’t just make a bowl of porridge what else can we do with oats?’. Nope, cannot stand it, didn’t people suffer enough during lockdown? It’s even worse that the other remote presenter is bright, bubbly, smiley and you can see her… I bet the producers could crack nuts between their bum cheeks watching that misery unfold.
Many thanks for the info re links.

I watched some of the first episode. Made me laugh the stairs in the background of the crappy bungalow. 
I have to say I am very much enjoying all the new fraus experiencing the full body cringe of DKL for the first time. This thread is always the most fun when Jack shuts the duck up for a bit.
The problem is that she is just a really bad presenter. I know she came out with some guff about not wanting to change to be like the others, but the issue is that people like their telly to be good, watchable telly. Not stilted fannying about.
what I did notice on the Mel Donte one posted last night, is that she preps the totally wrong stuff. Rather than spending time on making sure she had a clean Roasting tin and decent instructions, she clearly spent loads of time decanting vinegar, oil, milk, gin, diesel and grated tree bark into cute little bottles. I suspect she thinks it looks ‘cheffy’.
She really needs to look after the basics. In so many ways.

Oh my, loving that Matt’s post is liked by Shivi RamoutarThen not forgetting the period of time Jack followed Matt around the internet reminding him of their crrraazzzyyy japes and bantz.
It really is most baffling he has never worked with her again

who’s going from strength to strength with TV slots these days, even regularly on This Morning, whilst Jack’s TV cookery career stalled and faded away ! Shivi is everything Jack fails to be on TV, Shivi’s funny, engaging, great chemistry with her fellow presenters, is well prepared, can joke and ab-lib off script, doesn't look like she’s been pulled through a hedge backwards and most importantly doesn’t cook slop and has extremely clean hands. I love Shivi’s recipes. No wonder Jack is being side-lined, she makes cookery TV presenting look so awkward. Reckon Shivi might be in the chef‘s WhatsApp group these days, oh Jack TV just wasn’t for you
