Nice to see SB was able to finally put down his stick and hoop and collection of peg dolls and indulge in some more fitting tween boy activities like (checks notes) reading articles about how to decorate your house like a billionaire. That's definitely conventional reading for a boy that age. My nephews couldn't get enough of Architectural Digest at 11.

That kitchen is causing me some anxiety. Mine is like a pig midden at the moment because I've been ill but I couldn't live like that permanently.
Me too. Let's hope 'oddball' is a another word that she doesn't understand.
The only oddball in that situation is her for a/filming himself doing that and b/making up a story about it.
She's a strange character. More about the drama than the cooking. I would also cringe myself inside out if I had such a drastic Twitter account and all those socks and then go to festivals trying to act like an adult and give other people advice. Bizarre
FYes, thank(space)you. I hate reading 'just taking a seat!'or 'just parking!'
comments for the first two pages of a new thread.
Also, about the alleged Emin, she said the story was a wild ride but all it was was her cooking something then her friend gave her a drawing?
That was neither wild nor a ride, Jack 'Training Wheels' Munroe.
Add that to the list.
ETA
Haahaaaa joking

The key to understanding guest, from the bitterness despite the free money and undeserved platform, to the beggy selfies, to the cringe attention seeking online oversharing, to the assertions that she is/was a dancer/model/singer/poet, is remembering that she never wanted to be famous as a cook, she just wanted to be famous, but that was the 1 that stuck. She struck lucky on a new growing platform that prioritises the personal (twitter) and fitted well with the Cameron years austerity convo and there was a time she was popular and lauded and she's spent the last few years desperately chasing that again. I really think she thought cookery books was just her foot in the door for better offers and real celebrity- tv presenting, being 1 half of a sleb meeja couple, acting, maybe even fronting a band. But her careers gone down the bog faster than her pina colada bread. Hence the inexplicable rage despite her cushy life and her insistence that she's an establishment threat and persecuted by the right. She has to believe it's dark forces that have thwarted her and not her own glaring lack of talent, crap character and perpetual cry arsing.
Have to say, I've never seen a clip of Gordon Ramsay sharpening a knife in such a haphazard way. Probably because he knows what he's doing- Jack probably just made hers worse. Her son stays awfully quiet in those clips doesn't he? (Yeah, I know she's using a tripod and he wasn't even in the same postcode as her)
I don’t like Leggy’s kitchen at all, it makes me itchy, but there’s a clear logic to it. There’s nothing inexplicable in there and the random bits of paper and photos are almost all well away from the cooking area, plus it might be cluttered but it doesn’t look grubby. Jack’s version has missed out the actual point, which is to have everything you might need to hand, and instead has gone for a metric tonne of useless crap.
I had an online mate who hated her micro pricing of ingredients and would challenge her btl every time guest had a recipe article in the Graun. At the time I couldn't care less about her but I did find it amusing.
I wonder if he's here?
Jay Rayner does go btl sometimes and was once modded under his own article.
My Graun days are long gone but RIP Dawn Foster.

This is so typical of Jack. Who else would turn to that august arbiter of taste, The Sun, for inspo for aspirational interiors? Aims for Sloane Street, hits Benefits Street.
If she wants a job as a bus driver. Toot toot!
I would agree with this, and not only does she not have a talent for cooking but she is actually really bad at it.
Obviously there’s the standard guest trait of always having to have something “out there” to say / having to buck the trend which comes out in her “cooking” but even so after doing it for years and producing numerous cookbooks surely you would, even without really trying, become at least competent at it.
Bizarrely there is a complete lack of grasping even the basics of flavour combinations, seasoning and the cooking process. If most people tried their hand at ANYTHING for the amount of time she’s been “cooking” they would end up getting pretty good at it. How on earth is she still such an amateur?
Leggy only gets away with it because she’s posh, if a working class chef (not Jack) was pictured in an identical kitchen they’d get a tit ton of flack and sarky mentions in the article about how hoarder they were and what a mess it was.
She's brilliant at emotional manipulation. I'm serious. It's a skill. Not a very pro-social one, but a skill nevertheless. She managed to spin 6 months of being cash strapped into approx a decade of minor fame and fortune, complete with book deals and Patreon. So don't knock it.
And she might be at it still, if it weren't for that pesky HH2.
New Frau here, been lurking for some months so bit the bullet and joined. I’m definitely not Jack as I have a job, a conscience and a well-developed sense of shame. And an OH who hasn’t LEFT. And children who live with me.
Only posting as that knife ‘sharpening’ video is absolutely one of my aneurysms and I’m now having to go and rage eat the punnet of strawberries* in my fridge (which is definitely switched on)
*obvious proof right there that I’m not Jack, as if I were, I’d probably top them with tuna and cornflakes then blend them into a slop.

The lack of logic is astounding even with that. Why did she think she was going to be half of a well known celebrity couple with Leggy or Louisa - they're both wealthy, respected in their fields, and get featured in the press but they aren't really famous. If she wanted that lifestyle she should have been dating a reality TV star or something. If she wanted to get into TV presenting, why didn't she make it a priority (rather than an afterthought) to get some training and experience in? Make the most of Leggy/Louisa's connections? And most of all watch her public image and keep track of what lies she tells
Like many narcs, she's nothing if not an imitator. But she gets it wrong. The dashing about and head wrap are probably inspired by her observation of Leggy busy in the kitchen at Blackfoot. But also typically of a narc, Jack forgot that surface is one thing and substance quite another - the substance being that Leggy can cook and Jack can't.
She has a vape in her hand astride big Dave cannon
Candy Floss Blue or Canna Drip Strawberry (just to be edgy)?
Looking at Leggy's kitchen evokes a sensation of when you pick up an old worse-for-wear roasting tin out the back of a cupboard, that wasn't quite washed up properly last time it was used, and it's got that slight greasy texture to it
