Absolutely gross that she's gonna be talking about 'food and social justice' where her only experience is boo hoo I was on benefits very briefly 10 years ago. Get Diane Purkiss on who literally wrote the book on the social history of food which is about class. Jack is a middle class mic hogging bore.

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.
Its like when Zac Efron fell over chin-first and turned into this

I'm trying to remember what my journalist friend used to get paid when she was a talking head on the breakfast shows. I *think* it was in the region of £100-£150 if she was there in person and about £50 if she was on the phone. And she had to argue pretty hard to get it, the starting point was £0. They did always send a car for her if she was expected to have her backside on the sofa though, so no transport costs.
I've occasionally got paid, it's usually about £50 for radio if you're lucky, a bit more for telly (£200-500), and usually nothing if you're representing an organisation or have something to plug.

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'?
I am sure Jack was trying her best, but it really wasn't good enough.

It would be like paying £50 for a haircut by the new apprentice who tried their best but you ended up looking like Jack after a visit to Toni & Guy.

Why does she keep doing a big gross nose wipe. Are their no tissues? You'd think an immunocompromised person after the pandemic would carry a few kleenex. Also its just bleeping gross!

On media payments, I’ve done quite a bit of national and local TV and radio 🍉. I’m not a sleb but a mere expert. I’ve never been paid more than a taxi each way. Maybe a brew from the green room too. If I’m lucky!

If she’s getting paid more than £100 given the tit listening figures, I’ve wasted my time acquiring my expertise legitimately 🤣
Babe, same. I was invited on to some itv morning thing (I dunno what, I don’t watch the telly) to talk about something I specialise in. This was during lockdown and was to be an online appearance. I was offered the square root of duck all. My bit got bumped at the last minute as Dominic Cummings was up to some of his antics and was taking over the airwaves 🍉

I once got dropped on national network because Leonardo DiCaprio won an Oscar, selfish bastard 😂

That’s why Jackie’s claims about doing her own washing up are bollocks. It just wouldn’t be tolerated in that low-cost, fast turnaround world.

Babe, same again. I got bumped from a TV appearance because one of the participants and their PR nazis threw a strop and refused to debate, then paid the production company to turn the show into a promo for them. It would have been amazing. I'd cleared the rest of my diary, but I didn't get paid or otherwise compensated because I hadn't actually done the work. Annoying.
The org responsible appears to have gone tits up now.
