Yes it's not exactly an encouraging promotion of social mobility if you are choosing between heating and eating then a supposed successful 'celeb' like Jack then goes on about how she has to boil soap.

I agree with this, thats the one Mackie tip I actually took on board, the asda cooking bacon is actually really good. I tried the Lidl version not so good

Twitter is an eye opener. You have to search quite hard to find anything positive about her now. Her name is mud.
Unless there is a massive turn around her latest book will not sell well, and will be pulled apart and mocked.
Really not sure what she can do to get out of this self inflicted hole tbh.

I reckon she feeds the slop to SB, hired help, OHs, anyone around. No wonder they all LEFT.

All the nice stuff she keeps for herself.

I would love to see the receipts for this.

I’ve never piped mash in my life, and I can cook, but why would you bother?
I remember I commented that the piping looked suss and not the sort of thing Jack would do. Someone else took on the mantle of finding the fish pie. It was ages ago, but maybe someone with ninja search skills can find the posts?

She'd have to be honest about what she's done and make a genuine effort to make amends to stand any chance at all and I don't think she's capable of that. The other problem she's got is that she has no talent, if she were a really good cook, writer and/or presenter people would be more keen to welcome her back after a period out the limelight because they enjoy her work. She might be able to cling on to some sort of living from a small band of stans and people who've forgotten to cancel their payments for a while longer yet, she might even get the odd media gig simply by being available at short notice but overall I think she's finished.

Bib - oh my Christ
This has reminded me of the embarrassing moment in Morrisons this week when my dear partner yelled at me from another aisle, GET SOME PLASTIC CHEESE.

WHAT ARE THOOOOSE
But seriously, what are those?


I'd had a different Mr Burns image in mind for Jack recently
"Re-use tissue boxes as very comfy make-do slippers..."

I’m sure she inserted her gnarly feet into a pair of tiger loaves.

So so self obsessed. I too have sold stuff when times where tough but I don't feel the need to talk about it, let alone write a bloody fucking song ffs.

It would totally undermine her brand. She's supposed to be excellent at making money streeetttttch, not a penny mis-spent cos FRUGAL! If she cannot manage her own budget, then her pov stories become tainted by her being irresponsible and therefore non-sympathetic poor person, no better than the rest of the smartphone-owning, flat-screen buying, Kyle-watchers that she's not like at all, (fell by the wayside, doncha know?)

Plus people are far far less eager to put hand in pocket for someone who pisses their money away. She has to be a hard-done-by victim of circumstances/the system fuck the system!)

Plus fragile ego the size of the planet.

Agreed - and she has shat on and disrespected so many of the food industry that they won't feel like protecting 'one of their own'.
I was babysitting smallest grandchild yesterday and watched a bit of This Morning. A chef (can't remember her name) was on cooking a sausage casserole which reminded me of Jack's last appearance. Honestly the difference - the loving decriptions of food, flavour, cooking methods (including pricing) compared to Jack's grim unappetising efforts and laughing at the cheap sausages.
Funnily enough Jack actually was onto something with her costings ages ago, all the rage now, if she was a better presenter and had edible food she could be carving out a good solid career now.

Even if she was talented or doing good, important work at this point I'm really of the mind to say why should she be given the opportunity to come back to the limelight (even if she made amends). She needs to sort stuff out and refund her patreons etc. etc. (will never happen) but why then should she be 'forgiven', she can't be trusted to not abuse a position of influence. Let someone that's actually working class occupy the space and opportunities she currently is. She's a parasite. It just goes so far beyond 'second chances' for me.

With costings she just had to elevenify it with 7p portions as Jack is want to do. Totally blew it.

She legit said in a radio interview that her last meal would be herself because she reckoned she'd taste delicious. I kid you not.
She looks like she'd taste like licking the bottom of a dirty oven to me.

She profited from the pandemic, she was given the biggest opportunity of her life during lockdown. A live daily TV show fgs! Like, she could have really run with that had she not so completely messed it up.
