Ok now admittedly I have had a glass of wine but I think I've cracked her unwholesome obsession with David Walliams!

He has small features in a big face. I mean, he has at least twice as much face as your average person.

Jack has big features in a really small face. And as - judging by recent photos - her eyes her getting bigger, her lips are getting bigger and her nose is definitely getting bigger, she must be looking to secure more facial territory.

And who better to claim it from than a privileged male millionaire who already has more than his fair share of everything? Look out Walliams, Citizen Monroe is coming for your boat race!

(Btw this probably won't seem so funny to me in the morning)

Re: the accent. There is nothing wrong whether someone speaks RP or with a regional accent, whether it's cut-glass or not. Nobody cares nowadays.

The fact is that Jack is a fraud. She pretends to be something she isn't.

She comes from a comfortable, solidly middle-class background. Ballet lessons, Range Rover, grammar school. Multiple properties in the family. But she pretends to be working class and from poverty.

Food expert and top advice again from Jack. I have no idea how mussels work, but surely she should put this in her main posts?

To me if it’s between asking your parents - with extensive experience of childcare remember - to help out and having to sell your kid’s favourite toy and sleep with them on a mattress on the floor...she didn’t lose her job, she bloody packed it in, and less than 12 months later got a book deal?? Nahhh, mate

edit-caveat again any rage is towards HER

Oh Penns, this is not your fault at all, and this was very funny, but you've reminded me of one of the worst insults I ever received. When I was a teenager someone once described me as 'that girl with the big round face'. I still carry that moon-face little barb with me, (though my face isn't particularly round anymore) along with the slightly more palatable but still oddly upsetting 'The thing about you is that you are pretty, but not at all sexy' that I got, a few years later, from someone I very much wanted to find me all the sexy.

Some more random data for your triangulation @Gentlemensrelish!

She conflated not being loaded with poverty. Growing up, my family weren't rich but we got by and definitely didn't experience bone crushing poverty in any way shape or form. To these luvvie types, there's either absolutely loaded or poverty stricken and no in between. She dated Allegra and probably thought that that's the opposite of poverty but how many people are multi millionaires? It's not the norm

Exactly. It's like Mockney. Trying to sound more 'street cred'. And it just makes her risible. She is so obviously middle class, from her attitudes to her voice

she was on £27k there would be no shame in that at any age. And I know all about pride but fuck I had to take money off my Nana rather than take my kids under with me and you know what I’d do it again, for their sake
I would have gone under more than once in the last ten years without my mum.

Not to keep the roof over my head but living on a pittance has been very hard. Both in and out of work.

Oh and Jack, there's a difference between being bad with money and "poor". I was bad with money for years and constantly broke but I earned a decent salary, was just terrible with budgeting and spent it on rubbish. Lived from week to week. Being poor means you never actually have it in the first place

Ballet lessons
Range Rover
Multiple property owning grand father isn’t typically associated with WC is it ?
If you're admitting that you've done/are doing well Jack then you'll agree it's time to remove that tip jar.
