Bloody, bloody hell. Just listened to her Edinburgh interview with Kit de Waal while I was driving. Horrendous! I was repeatedly reminded of David Brent, especially when she started quoting enemies on Twitter by using stupid voices. It seems to me that an interview like that is an opportunity to talk about the wider issues you care about, while just using your own story as a starting point. But she repeatedly wanders off-course, talking endlessly about herself and her Twitter fights and forgetting the question she's meant to be answering. It's hideously self-obsessed, and many of her anecdotes aren't interesting at all (unless, presumably, you're her). Her claims about talking to 'nutritionists, dieticians, scientists' sounded made up - surely you'd name them if they'd been kind enough to help you with your book? Awful awful interview, with poor Kit de Waal doing her absolute best to make her look ok. Also, the needy repeated attempts to make the audience applaud by making belligerent, sweary statements and then staring hopefully at the audience. I'm sure she thinks swearing is part of her 'brand' but it came across as quite crass and inappropriate given the occasion/environment. As did the repeated mentioning of recreational drugs. And God, the number of times she mentioned her tattoos. As though they make her unusual. Cringe, cringe, cringe.
