Yes, just look at it. There can’t be a single person who looks at that and thinks “ooh I’ll give that a try”. Her cooking on DKR was beyond embarrassing.
It really was atrocious. Made all the more bittersweet by her tyrannical behaviour beforehand about JO stealing her thunder.
You’d think - this is a big chance for me to really show those daytime viewers how inventive I can be with leftovers. Some super exposure for my upcoming book.
And then this:

You couldn’t make it up, really

I genuinely have not thought that about a single one of her recipes. Usually when I watch a cookery programme I feel ravenous and inspired. In Jack's case, neither. Just a bit embarrassed for her.

It’s ok though it’s for poors

Was the story behind that basically not some huge waffle about her dads magic recipe followed by 'it came from a jar'??

‘Lasagne’
complete with ‘béchamel sauce’.

Yes, such a good story, wasn’t it.

It’s really quite sad because she honestly isn’t bothered what kind of attention she’s given. Most people only want positive attention but I honestly don’t think Jack is bothered whether people pity her or are angry with her as long as they’re engaging with her. It’s kind of sad that she doesn’t feel she can get it and maintain it in a positive way so just does absolutely anything whatsoever that will draw people to her regardless as to how either negative or insincerely positive their responses are.

What on earth is that?!

R.e the singing. The singing itself isn't horrendous (I've heard far worse), but yeah, I wouldn't be taking it to XFactor or BGT. But what's really bad is the endless pre-amble, it's so cringy.

Btw, the algorithm served me up this today. What is Jack doing on THAT MAN's YouTube?

No offence but I thought that lasagne was pie that had been over cooked.

I can't get the Jacques Brel song "Jackie" out of my head. It is about a fantasist who dreams about being "cute, in a stupid-ass way". Remind you of anyone? Cover by my favourite Marc Almond is well worth a listen, the Scott Walker version is good too, very risqué for the 60's.

"And if one day I should become, a singer with a Spanish bum, who sings for women of great virtue".....not with a voice like hers.

I’ve got a vague memory that ages ago Nigella used to post photos of food that looked less than appetising, but you just knew that they would taste delicious because it was Nigella. Tbf I’ve sometimes taken pics of my own tea to show someone () then decided against it because it just looked minging. Cooking and food styling is a definite art! Luckily I’m not trying to sell a cookbook

What a wasted opportunity. From a decent looking start in 2014, how has she regressed rather than developed? Arrogance? Laziness? Entitlement?

Thread suggestion. Jack Monroe #45 - For my next Cat Trick ..... Watch me make YOU pay for Fitzpatrick.

*Pronounced nduja (the fact I've got to explain the joke is probably not a good start!).

When did she first appear? Because every time she's on TV, even her 2020 stuff, it's always 'be nice, I'm new, I'm inexperienced.' Like Nadiya was on Bake Off in 2015 but she doesn't preface everything she does with 'I'm new, I don't know how to do this TV stuff.'
