I’ve always had my doubts about this woman’s back story......the poverty and food bank use, sexual violence survivor, ex sex worker, self harm, eating disorders, bullied, trans for a bit, alcoholism......

I remember quite a few years ago when I followed her, she was asking for advice after spilling something on her Mulberry handbag and then the next minute she’s crying poverty again. Oh and only buys shoes from Russell & Bromley because their shoes are the only ones that fit.

And another tale that made me apparently passed the all the selection tests including fitness to become a firefighter. Despite being a premature baby and having Asthma and the endless other ailments.

All very odd yet the blue tickers lap her up

The show hasn't even been on her for her to know what is and isn't on it? As yet, we have no idea if it infringes on her brand / her recipes / anything else she has a claim to. It's like when people protest against films or TV shows they haven't seen but have heard will offend them. So much outrage before anyone knows what the deal is.

She’s getting to be quite tiresome now.

Just watched a few of her YouTube videos. Yep, I can see exactly why JO got the show.

Also the annual bottle of Penhaligon’s she always buys herself. Oh except for just two years. Unbelievable.

In my experience, once you’ve been seriously hard up, you’re forever cautious with money. I earn enough now but after being seriously skint and only just getting by, I would never fritter money away on an expensive bottle of perfume. I know we all need treats from time to time but I view money very differently. Been so close to the edge has left me with a fear of being in the situation of not having enough.

I would absolutely love it if he is ever asked about Jack, Jamie Oliver would look genuinely puzzled and say 'who'?

She seems to be behaving rather manically? As in the clinical sense? It's a lot. I'd be worried about her if I was her partner.

81 recipes? Why not have about 12 decent ones? Would she not do this stuff as a public service rather than the pathetic one sided competition she has going with Jamie?
As I said I seriously hope he hasn't got a clue who she is.
Her craving and fishing for adoration and approval and pity is a bit sad isn't it? Most of us grow out of that as a teenager.

What a saddo.

In reality she doesn't give a rats ass about the public service side of things, it's a pathetic points scoring exercise against an industry heavyweight and an opportunity to get more donations on PayPal and Patreon

I'm watching That Man now. He's undeniably a bit of a twat but an extremely soothing, confident twat. Just watching a calm, reassuring man make pasta is what I need right now.

Also, he's just making food with stuff you probably do have but not that necessarily cost 50p to make.
