Why would they ask her about weight loss drugs?
Because it’s linked to the government using it as a way to get people off benefits: “Millions of people could be offered a new generation of weight-loss drugs under plans to turn the tide on obesity and get benefit claimants back to work.” (Quote from related Times article). So she was there as a benefits/poverty campaigner.

Adrian is earning his cut then. Jack is getting at least 30k for this. I couldn't earn that in a year.
Nah she isn't.
that £10-15K is the 'guide price' for top end corporate gigs - she'll be getting much less for literary festivals, especially if she's plugging her book. Looking at the size of the venue, the ticket prices and the sponsorship it'll be a few K max I think.
Also unlikely she got paid for Times Radio - my inkling would be that Adrian (or, more likely, his hapless assistant) is reaching out to a bunch of media outlets reminding them she exists and offering her as a honking head.

That is reassuring although still irritating as it's easy money for a lazy nose bonee.

Just listened to the honk. I was quite brave lads!
If you listen in detail, she probably made one good point, the rest was just snuffly, sqwealchy waffle. Gross

Oh my Christ, the honk. Has she ever referred to it in her many, many ailment complaints (complailments?!)? Or do we think her failure to ever acknowledge it is due to her actually being a boring you-know-what hag and not wanting to draw attention? It's worse every time I hear her speak so there's clearly something up one way or the other....
With Hattenstone she dropped in breaking her nose when she hit her face on the bogger. This had never been mentioned before and was probably an attempt to explain her increasingly spreading nose, and also the bunged up honk.

If the nose and honk is not for ❄ reasons she really should see an ENT specialist. She might have a nasal polyp or something like that. But she must 100% be a mouth breather, you can hear her noisy breathing. She's still a young woman to be resigned to that for life.

I'm with you, they annoy the hell out of me too, but don't think that it is irrational though. I have me reasons and I am sure you do. We are both here because we saw right through Jack, so we can spot a bad 'un a mile off!
Same, tenderhearts. I see parallels between Jack and the Van Bollocks (as they’re fondly known in our house).

I can't quote posts on my new phone 😭 but have got some new emojis 🥰

@Onestorytoomany, Tim nice but dim was exactly who I thought of but after watching a quick youtube clip he's far more articulate

Being a mouth breather, I bet she's a nightmare at the dinner table. One thing that gives me rage is having to listen to people eating with their mouths open.

Brother X, Xant (?) always reminds me of Matt Haig. He has that same forlorn self pitying aspect to him.

I only mentioned nasal polyp Jack off the top of my head. But looked them up and feel I'm onto something. I wonder if they're caused by snowy conditions 🤔

Considering she's finally admitted to smoking/vaping, she must be a right treat of a morning. Hacking up phlegm like a pneumatic drill with her honky crab paste breath.

Mmmm. No wonder Burger Boy never stayed for breakfast!

Ugh that's horrible behaviour, but nothing surprising from Jack. I know she was checking her phone throughout the Daily Kitchen Live episodes, but apparently it was to answer questions or something? Either way, it wasn't a good look.
That must have driven poor James of the forearms doollally. Imagine: you're a pro at the top of your game, and management have sent along that honking eejit, arguing the toss, being generally completely unetprepared and acting like a truculent adolescent on a work experience placement.

Am I making it up, but didn't she actually say somewhere she was checking Tattle on her phone? When we were having our DKL watchalong parties?
Saying something like 'imagine having to read that when you are live on TV and trying your best'?

Someone made a point a few threads back, about how some (medical name I can‘t recall) parts at the side of her nose are expanded. It’s like her nose is straining to spread further sideways. I wish we had an ENT expert, surely one of you nefarious ninnies know one?
Very odd she never shuts up about her ouchy mouth or crumbly teeth but never mentions the conk of honk.
