Urgh shut up

That screenshot prompted me to look at his Instagram post. Didn't realise it's a 5 times a week show starting Monday. She's admitted how long it takes for her to do 6 minutes on This Morning, of course they're going to pick the pro who has presented for years. I would prefer a more diverse casting for the job (most telly chefs are white men) but given the turnaround picking the person they can drop in at short notice makes sense.

I'm tempted to watch Jamie on it next week to boost the ratings. Surely he will tell the production team who sent abuse his way. Yes he has been smug in the past etc but all he has done is accept a job.

If only Jamie Oliver was as unprofessional and gross as her. Would love to see him tweet "No, I wouldn't work alongside you. You are a volatile, talentless arsehole and have purposely made my life difficult because you're jealous of my job. Now fuck off."

That would make my day!

She's a massive twat and just made herself look an even bigger one.

Translation: she bulk buys her picture frames from Wilko.

I bet Wilkos are shitting themselves.

Oh I'd never checked out her instagram before. This made me laugh her going on and on about what's probably just frozen bananas and blackcurrants blended. She makes it sound as if her job as as hard as neuroscience.

Banana nicecream was a big thing 5+ years ago, it's been done to death.

And it's not 'sugar free' either. Bananas like most fruits have naturally occurring sugars. Try telling that to her though. You'd probably get your eyes scratched out!

* Off topic but chef related.
Guys I'm gutted. The formerly lovely Rick Stein is refusing to pay his laid off workers. I am so surprised and disappointed in him.

unfortunately a lot of true colours coming out over the next weeks and months. JM should make a stink about this but as it doesn’t directly gain her sympathy or dollar I doubt she will.

[ChilliBean]

Awaiting the day she discovers this thread and takes to twitter to tweet about all the hate she gets

 

[Yel]

It comes down to someone unqualified and without the skillset not getting a job on a topic that they've self appointed themselves as an expert in.

Well that wasn't quite as concise as I was aiming for

She's delusional in both her own ability and thinking that she pioneered cooking with basic ingredients.

 

[Willowmagnolia]

For someone who's always hankering on about inequality and privilege she's a bit tone deaf with her comment about only getting 8 pounds an hour. She gets paid into her business account and only takes a living wage of 8 pounds per hour out of it weekly. Not quite the same thing

 

[Jelly Bean]

Just gonna leave this here

But she had the same level of assumption as Jamie did - where is the difference?
I am beginning to think she really is, I'm trying to put this kindly, thick.

 

[PineappleQueen19]

As if she’d be welcome to drop by for a row.

Jog on Jack.

Another theory about this whole cooking show; Jamie Oliver has a huge kitchen in his house and knows how to present cooking shows. He won’t need much direction and they need some one really experienced. So they can probably film with minimum crew, I imagine they could probably even set up cameras and he does it himself?

He also appeals to a find range of people, everybody isn’t suddenly just eating from tins. There will be people who normally eat out that are cooking at home.

If she is so desperate to hel, like really help and not just make money from this situation, then she should simply use her tins and receipts and get on you tube without all the twitter ranting.

 

[heretoreaditall2019]

Agreed @Yel I think it’s really disgraceful for her to be asking for tips after spreading those absurd falsehoods around her just scraping by on a living wage herself, she has a partner on huge money & financial security. It’s really shitty goings on and I hope someone calls her out for it, there’s a time & place to make your £ and this crisis is not one of them. I don’t keep up w Joe Wicks but hasn’t he just donated a ton to the NHS? Shame Jack can’t follow suit.

 

[poppycat]

I quite enjoyed yesterday’s programme where he made quesadillas. He pronounced them casadillas.

Watched a couple of the programmes after reading this thread, have to admit I did like the green sauce and pasta recipe, going to try it today. I was never a fan of his but Ms Monroe's spiteful attitude has made me want to give him another chance

 

[Mycuppatea]

Just noticed this - the sugar content is different and yes she’s added some cardamon but the oil, self raising flour, cinnamon and banana measurements are the same. At the bottom of page, Jack states you can “tip the chef” if you want to, which takes you to her PayPal. But, she’s allowed ads on her blog - so she must be making a small fortune especially with everything going on at the moment. Un freaking believable.

Most recipes are just recycled but the fact that she considers sardines on toast to be "A Recipe" and worthy of a newspaper column is insane. I don't even think I'm cooking when I make stuff on toast because there's no skill or thought involved. Thank God we have Jack to save us from the Corona, one can of sardines or spaghetti hoops at a time.

 

[PineappleQueen19]

And now all the photo orders are in and the PayPal account has been topped up, she’s conveniently bunking off Twitter

 

[Minxxx]

Can’t believe she has Jamie’s book in the background of her photo, but has the audacity to call him out for something that isn’t his fault.

The issue with Jack is her recipes are generally unappetising, unappealing, bland looking mish-mashes. I just looked at her site, saw a recipe for tomato and chickpea loaf, and clicked back straight away. Jamie can actually cook and has some presence in front of a camera.

 

[FrannyGallops]

Don’t know about anyone else, but yes it’s cheered me up no end, knowing that she’s got her tv show. Forgot all about the horrors of corona and quarantine. Thanks, Jack

 

[Excuse Me Laydeh!]

She deletes so many tweets. I read one last week about Jamie Oliver owning a huge multimillion pound house in London while she’s stuck renting a “shabby bungalow”. Went back later and couldn’t see it.

So weird to focus on what others have that you don’t in that petulant way. It’s not healthy. Maybe Jamie Oliver prioritised buying his first property over splurging on Burberry leather jackets and three different bottles of Penhaligon’s perfume on the go at once? It’s also judgmental about renting. Does she think it’s beneath her?

She does delete lot of stuff on twitter, but not until hoards of her little sheep have made equally unpleasant comments in support of her and against who she's decided to troll on that occasion.
Fortunately for us, the clever people of tattle are screenshooting these comments and subsequent conversations and posting them on this here thread so it's safely stored to use as ammunition on the little cow bag one day.
I am so close to copying the tweet she put on about Jamie Oliver and calling him "that man" and publicly pulling her up on it whilst copying in the BBC and anyone else I can think of. Obviously this will mean I'll get the inevitable BLOCK! She needs to remember that the vitriolic shit she spews out of her dirty little mouth will always flow back downstream. Nothing is ever truly deleted on social media and it's certainly never forgotten!

Exactly this. I follow a TV producer on Twitter who said the thing about Jamie is that he knows what’s he’s doing. He can nail it one take and can film three or four shows back to back. Jack’s a novice. There’s no way she could do that. It would have taken days, if not weeks, and required a studio etc.

as you say Jamie has probably done this at home
