Bet she’s gutted she can’t wade into the Pip saga. Choose your own adventure, how would Jack make it all about herself?
- Schofe set my hackles on edge, triggering my CPTSD from the abuse I suffered as a teen, you have a sense for these things
- Schofe was an open secret THEY KNEW @ITVBoss how could you defend this (crying ITV-mate selfie)
- Schofe is no different than what the ebil tories are doing
-he’s just todays dead cat, my dm’s are full of starving people who were working but quit when their boss made it known they had to provide “personal services” otherwise they wouldn’t be paid

If she had any sense she'd do full confession/apology and beg for a clean slate tomorrow when an avalanche of lurid details come out. Her very modest celebrity status would mean it would get very little coverage and she could try to move on.

My eldest went through a phase of playing some dorky card game, all fantasy orcs and dragons and shit like that, and what I remember from the one time I showed interest was that he’d turn his cards of trees and mountains on their side and play all these cards named things like that and proceed to annihilate his little brother. “I’ve used my Orangery of Doom to summon forth the Brambly Mice and equipped them with the Sieve of Domestos to deal more damage that you can’t block because I’ll cast SHANT.”

Max is home, and apparently that card game is either called “keyforge or magic gathering or the lord of the rings one but probably not that one cos it’s a solo story”

Kids eh? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Had a quick scroll through Hay Festival line-up. For ten points, spot a minority.

That’s my next one. Demon is pretty dark emotionally too , but mostly just shook to see Borbs in the wild Jack adjacent when I just finished her book. It’s a sign I tell ya!

Does this mean she's planning to stand Adam up on Monday? (He'll be furiously whatsapping Jay Rayner from the portaloos)

I would like to take a moment to thank Philip Schofield for the fact I had only 4 pages to grunk today.

Schofe called her a pretty little p**f, realised she wasn't male and then made sure her TV career ended there and then.

(Apologies for the use of the word p**f but it's how Jack once claimed she was described in a gay bar. Yes, really)

Also Walliams takes the piss out of the working class and that's her niche he's all up in.

Anyone got a spare £500 to purchase 49 tickets for Hay?

It's the most it'd let me put in my basket .

Does that mean 49 seat left to sell?
Maybe.. dunno.. it's in a small tent, 50 is the capacity..

Oh god I'd missed that she's talking to him. I like his books. But he did go a bit self-satisfied weary edgelord. He can get in the bin now he's Jack adjacent. Wish these people understood it's career suicide.

People are wondering if Williams might fall, hot on the heels of Pip and ITV. If he is a wrongun, I hope he does, but not until after his Hay thing. Can’t cope with Jack glomming onto that on Monday.

The awesome Hannah Fry does an awful lot of heavy-lifting on their show together.

She can't tweet about any work. What's the point in a guest who can't promote the event? She's so disliked she'd have a reasonable crack at being the next Bond villian.
