Ah point of order dear heart - guest was invited back to This Morning once more. When she offered a visibly horrified Phil bollock sossidges.
It was off the back of the old man eating toothpaste wasn't it? When she was on a high from her viral lamb and champagne tweet? And guest cheerily and cockily tweeted 'I'm hooome' before filming her segment.
Now THAT was the final nail in her coffin TM wise.
My personal opinion on why that appearance was why she's blacklisted from TM...
It was a strange day on TM. Jack has tweeted several times she was on the show and even posted a couple of photos of the studio. However, she wasn't mentioned. Not by the presenters, not on the app and not on the programme menu. No 'coming up next ' nothing.
We wrongly assumed she'd been lying. Suddenly she appeared. No introduction just camera cut to her and she cooked suspicious sausage pasta thing.
Afterwards she posted a picture of a packet of spaghetti next to a bottle of ketchup and said this was a meal for a poor person. She got back lash and deleted the photo.
My theory is she really did intend to do spaghetti ketchup to show the evil tories how the poors ate. The producers shat themselves and pulled the segment, scrubbing all trace of her from the schedule. She will have thrown a tantrum and eventually agreed to cook something else and they quickly got their Home Ec to rustle something up.
She was never invited back.

And when she got DKL she was so tit, and such a nightmare that she's basically been blacklisted ever since. Really makes you think.
I often think about her tweet where she talked about being told she was “difficult” on set and now she’s been booted by United Agents I should imagine it was, in fact, Rosemary who had this delicate talk with her in an attempt to rescue her TV career. Jack, however, being an insane narc, took this as a personal affront and evidence that she was clearly just Too Working Class and Neurodiverse for telly instead of making an attempt to behave any better on set or, you know, actually prepare for the work she was being paid for.

Delicious, really. Or - certainly tastier than anything Jack makes.

She clearly thinks it’s that she’s too fascinated by lights and sometimes has to look down at her notes that mean people call her difficult, she’s blissfully unaware it’s her attitude, complete lack of prep and the fact that she inevitably seems to spend half of whatever she’s doing with her back to the camera silent. If it wasn’t so horrifying, it would almost be impressive how delusional she is.

I don't know how anyone can watch her cook on tv and think YUM, get her booked for multiple slots please! She comes across as very unlikeable, out of her depth and the food always looks absolutely terrible. She prepares it in a way that makes you think she's never seen food before. Watching her chop those tomatoes the other week on those comic Kitchen vids, sent me on a turn and that was before she tried to put them in the pan. Compare that to just about every single guest that has ever been on Saturday Kitchen. Always delightful and genuinely excited about food. No wonder she's never been invited back. I imagine she blamed everyone but herself.

This has genuinely been the moment that popped my cherry pumble
WOWSER! I unfortunately or fortunately (whichever way you want to look at it) watched the whole glorious shitshow live, whilst working from home in my kitchen with the kids refusing to do any school work upstairs! Some marvellous memories!

I had a quick look at the first thread and so little has changed. She was being bullied and was at her desk for 20 hours A DAY. From 6am to 2am 😂
Anyway amongst all the Jamie Oliver bullying (which was worse than I remembered tbh) there was this nugget.
Rufus Hound knew how TV worked and knew if Jack co presented she would then get her own series 😂

I love how JO largely acts as though she doesn't exist. Everytime Jack speaks, he probably hears an annoying honking noise.

Guest is literally looking round the room for things to tweet about at this point. Chess set catches her eye: let's wheel out a variation on the most boring chess anecdote imaginable. What a sad lonely life.
She missed a chance to say: “I, too, a working-class single mother, can play chess - sleeve tattoos and all!”

It so is, isn't it. It's like she lives in a temporal bubble.
BIB for thread title.

You‘re absolutely right - it’s why she so bloody useless at everything. I just watched Dr Rupy’s launch video on YouTube

Compare that to guest’s comic kitchen. And now he’s on tv all the time, has a podcast, has published books, a website (with FREE recipes) and now has an app.

Her idea of working is like when I had my mum’s old typewriter as a kid and I pretended i was typing important letters 🤣

Haha yes. Being reminded of my writing endless crap in notebooks when I was six, also reminded me that I used to go around pretending I could speak fluent French, just muttering utter garbage (also aged six). At least we grew out of it!

Did it ever see the light of day?

No, of course it didn't!

I’ve just treated myself to a random clip from DKL. She hadn’t heard the term “aromatic”?

Jack appeared in an early iPlayer only version of Doctor's Kitchen.

For anyone who hasn't had the pleasure:

Funny she mentions the break she took after DKL. As if she had any choice in the matter 😂
Was the 'TV show (!)' she is referring to here that one off with Dr Rupy?

Yes. She bigged it up, as usual. 15 mins on iPlayer.
