Fuck you Jack. I eat tacos with a knife and fork. Chicken wings and pizza too. Let your kid be himself. 'The idea is to get dirty' yeah I know you think it is, I've seen your hands.
But he's a working class wee lad, shouldn't he be scooping it up with his hands like peasants do?

I was 'given' a wide range of foods as a child, I have an odd diet as an adult. Once I was able to make my own choice of foods I decided to exclude all that I didn’t like

First time I’ve watched that Allegra clip. Not nice. I don’t like her. She’s not a scamming charlatan (I think…) but she’s unpleasant.

What a pair of thundering cunts. Shaming a child like that.
Honestly, if she's autistic, she would never say that. My husband is autistic and son has very mild sensory issues, both absolutely hate getting their hands dirty, like have to wash/wipe their hands straight away. Son hated any form of messy play, even when a baby. If her son ate her f*****g food she should just be grateful and stop laughing at how he chose to eat it.

Autocarrot you flatter me
The X Factor season 1 premiered on 04/09/2004 when Jack was 16y 5mo old so could technically have taken part as there was a 16-24 category. Probably more likely to be season 2 onwards (20/08/2005) though due to filming etc.
"Each year's competition begins with auditions round, which consists of three stages held several months prior to the series premier"
If we can narrow the year/age/season down that would help greatly.
Also this might be an issue:



Just noticed her twitter follower count has dropped from 571.1k to 570.8k over the last 24 hours or so.

Did she get to the point of actually going before the judges and being filmed? From what I understand it’s only the ones who are very good or eccentric or deluded actually get filmed, the rest get triaged out without ever seeing Simon Cowell. Jack is pretty dull and is a middling singer, she’d have been shown the exit quickly.

Thread's moving too quickly but someone said her time with Allegra prompted her transformation into a dickensian urchin and I agree with this so much. To be fair, it must have been heartbreaking to have experienced that lifestyle and then be dumped out of it back to normality. She was naive to move in with Allegra so quickly (especially with her son in tow) and I get the impression she was nothing more than an amusement until Allegra got bored / annoyed and sent her packing to rehab. I just get that impression from the dynamic between them, like Allegra is humouring an enthusiastic toddler rather than an equal partner.

Lol the spending really is quite incredible. Particularly when you consider that the photos she uploads offer only a small glimpse into her life. I would hazard a guess that the Tattle list doesn’t cover a fraction of the designer items she owns. Reall
Agree. I googled Allegra recently to see who she was and, from the clips that I watched, saw a subtle undercurrent of aggression and control that only those who have experienced it can recognise. It made my spidey senses tingle.

I also find the difference in age, wealth, social standing and even physical stature quite chilling. It’s very very off.

That’s an interesting way of putting it. I didn’t think of it like that.

However, Allegra is so posh, it might just be that “bit gauche darling” is her equivalent of “you can’t say that!” That’s how it comes across to me, anyway. I think that’s just the way Allegra talks, and that’s the sort of language she uses, as formal as it sounds to my ears.

I dunno, maybe I’m giving her too much credit. I’m not sure she meant to be condescending either. It’s just her vibe, as discussed yesterday.

Eugh. I can imagine her using the crap "how do you titillate an ocelot? you oscillate its tit a lot" joke as a come-on whilst wearing them, too.

This is a spectacular idea, tender one.

I went on the X Factor as part of a "shit group" so my best friend could get on the telly. We went through three rounds of auditions and had multiple calls to make sure we were tv material. I can see Jack getting on as a narcissism fool, or through her fabricated sob story.

Brilliant idea plus I picked up these food fraud candidates from the recent discussion, the ones where an enterprising frau realised what she was passing off as her own. Just need to find the pics:

Salmon Pie

Waitrose Parmentier Potatoes

Soup

Greek mezze, dolmades
Co-op summer picnic range… usually 3 for 2
