James & Clair Buckley

[Telly Fanatic]

I'm Scottish and don't hit my husband or have that type of banter with him...

I think Claire and James are like mates.

 

[Suzesnooze]

I feel tension in their marriage... and I think Claire wants a third kid, so it would give her a purpose again as she's probably feeling lonely/lazy in the house when the boys are at school all day.

She was probably a bit lonely before they started vlogging but now she’s probably had a lot of doors opened up to her and a lot going on and so she’s realised there’s more to life than just been a SAHM.

I noticed that Clair went "ohh she's so horrible to James" in a part of their last vlog. I'm guessing she reads comments somewhere but people in the youtube comments don't tend to say that, unless it's really far down and unpopular/ downvoted. So either the podcast comments maybe? or here? idk

re: the stage, I honestly don't know how he does it, he says he's never really gotten past the nerves, so that would be really hard. He's wayyyyy more introverted than he comes across, even this long into watching him I've noticed that. If that were me, I'd never make it on stage, I'd just probably pass out and roll down the hallway stairs/ be sick.. then roll down lol.

Poor Paisley. She wasn't that old, around 4?

I think she’s 8 or there about? Rotties unfortunately pass between 8-10

This is nothing to do with them not wanting people to miss out on the offer,probably Hello Fresh have given them a deadline because they've messed around so much and if they dont post the Ad,they won't get paid. Sorry but both of them are bone idol,imagine if they had real jobs, they wouldn't last.

Yes! I thought it was that Leah he was with at the time though
---

Well apparently she didn’t know and it was him acting single when he wasn’t, who knows but you can still google all the old articles about it

Hmmm didn’t know he was in a relationship, like she hadn’t seen the inbetweeners. Strange how she happens to stumble into all these ‘famous’ peoples DM’s and try get into parties they’re at, when she’s such a chill cool girl who knew nothing about them. BS

My youngest son had long hair and the amount of comments we got from family members telling us to cut it was unbelievable! He does have short hair now but it was when he got older he said he wanted it short. When it was long it was so soft and lovely condition and ever since it’s been short it’s now like straw

Funny my dd has short hair, shaved short & at one point my son had long hair
Don't get the big deal

Just seen this, if they came out and said this is why we've sacked the vlogs off that would make sense, but i don't think it is!

Inbetweeners star James Buckley and his wife Clair 'stalked by woman at Essex home and feared they would be violently attacked' | Daily Mail Online

It makes sense why they didn't appear on Gogglebox this week

If this isn't the nail in the vlogs coffin I'd be shocked, there wasn't much they didn't show let's be honest from the layout of the garden and access point to the back of the house to the kids bedrooms and what they keep stored in the garage.

If they were reluctant before I think this will seal the deal now no one needs that happening in their life especially around kids, mind you it won't stop people still constantly begging for more their viewers are obsessive over their vlogs and thirsty for Clair of course .

 

[viewtube]

I thought that! Though they do have another lounge, maybe that one?
I found them quite underwhelming on the show tbh.

Someone previously mentioned celebrity Gogglebox may use 'sets',suppose for practical reasons/security it makes sense. Something seemed very unnatural about them and Clair sounded different.

What does Clare do all day? it's not like her boys are toddlers and at home.

According to her cleaning & laundry. As well as lunches with Danny Dyers wife,various trips with her other friends. I think she is now doing things for herself rather than 'Buckley 'brand.

 

[Maid22]

Well I think those joggers look awful

 

[Maid22]

I've come over from the rave thread, have noticed a big change in Claire (apart from the lip !)
She really cant be arsed with you tube anymore, he's the one starting the vlogs, I do like to watch, but lately it's starting to feel abit off, if you know what I mean!

 

[Telly Fanatic]

Shes been posting pouting selfies, so hopefully hes ok

Yes he's ok I believe, but putting a in a post with a child doesn't sit right with me, whether it was about football or not, or is it because he's in double figures now .

I'm superstitious.

 

[Jelly Bean]

don't understand why a woman with no job needs to use HF. She's at home all day lol.

I've always wondered what Clare actually does. Apart from laundry and cleaning.
She seems bright enough so I don't get why she doesn't want more out of life.

They must reeeally be fed up struggling for content. I'm willing to bet James wasn't necessarily dashing to film himself in his hotel in that last one, giving the play by play about how they had to go get his clothes, and then even filming the interview. I bet that was more a matter of Clair not wanting/ having any content at home and it was either telling him here you take it and come up with something, or nothing.

I always think it would be really rough to be a youtuber once you start not to enjoy it or lack content or if the thing you're trying to film very much varies depending on many factors. Like they're not always out or travelling like some, or have jobs that they can regularly film everything on that they know people click on every time, but sometimes when the fodder for the vlogs IS your life and you're burning out, it's bound to be like this.
Also James could do more work related stuff and literally just tag the camera along all day but he doesn't at all seem like one who'd wanna do that. I honestly don't even blame him; I think them getting their start during the pandemic is what made it seem like they could "go all the way" with this thing, and with YT as saturated as it is with people trying to get their subs up in competition, it's just gonna be an uphill battle it seems.

I did YT for a good few years trying to promote my channel, myself.. etc also in as honest a way as possible, like without clickbait etc and it was just soul-sucking trying to keep up, and I'm just a nobody! so I know they maybe thought they could take it to like 500-600k or 1mil subs or something but it's just suuuper hard, especially if you're starting to slow down or you don't have some sort of provocative content, probably why they pushed them to get into reels.

I agree its got to be difficult, but James in particular is quick to jump for sponsors or begging for freebies. I remember him constantly begging for lego freebies,he was after one of the huge star wars kits, nearly £700,lego sent him an Eiffle Tower kit,you could tell he was disappointed . James loves all the free stuff,but doesnt want to put in the work required to film etc. I honestly think Claires had enough because she's probably left doing the bulk of the work,while he swans around playing the celeb. He wants easy money for minimal work. He whines about the play,rather than thinking it's work earning him money. I genuinely believe he'd be happy at home with Claire, because in his mind he's missing out when he's not with her. Social media was another source of income, they've even ditched the podcast. Claire appears to see her roll as taking care of the home and James is responsible for providing financially, sadly he doesn't appear to want to put the work in. They appear to have a nice lifestyle,id be worried if my husband or partner had the same mindset as James when it comes to work. His agent/manager will also take his/her cut. Cameos will only last for so long while he keeps himself relevant. He openly admits he's turned down lots of work, now he rarely gets asked to audition ,never mind actual job offers

^ just saw a story from James sitting in the theatre basically asking for cameos, and for some reason this one struck different and left a bad taste. He said “ 40 quid, what more could you want” ( or something like that I forgot) and it’s just that so so many people cannot make ends meet right now, I mean I’m in the USA and can’t even swing doctors visits right now.
It was tone deaf and came off as only coming on to drum up business for both the play and cameo.

I felt they were really humble at the start, so either they’re just part of the greed machine and want to live lavishly or are actually struggling for money right now? Idk it’s just… fizzling out for me

I've just seen his post. He really is clueless, obviously £40 to him is clearly negligible, but as you correctly said some people are struggling financially. Neither him or his wife want to put any effort in, but want the money. Since they joined a management company, they seem lazier whilst also being greedier. They were more relatable when they first started vlogging

 

[Telly Fanatic]

In general i really like the Buckley's
i enjoy their channel most of the time but I have to say i think Jude's hair looks awful it's very messy and straggly and as boy mum myself I wouldn't personally be sending my son to school looking like that just on the grounds of head lice, it's going to get in his eyes all day and he just looks so bloody unkempt.

If like @Telly Fanatic dared to suggest it's because he may issues around getting it cut then fair enough equally Clair may well in fact have her own reasons for not wanting him to have it short but for me it's the sending your kids out in the world looking like scruffy urchins that I can't abide and if that's 'unhinged' then so be it

I think Claire thinks the boys "supercool" with his hair long and makes home more edgythe boys likely been brainwashed into thinking he's elite with his long hair.

Sarah Inghams the same, she thinks she so in trend because her boys hairs long, when we all know that the boy actually looks bloody ridiculous.

Does James have a relationship with his family? Assume they’re pretty close geographically, and there’s vlogs in Scotland and chat about when he first met her family etc, but haven’t heard the other way round. Or them popping over for a BBQ etc. unless I missed it? They mentioned he’d gone though hardships when they met so wondered if something had happened…

When they first started vlogging, during lockdown at christmas they did a gift exchange at his sisters house in the garden. He also talked about his mum,but everything does appear to revolve around Claires family.

Bless her, lovely big gentle giants.

 

[MeghanSnarkle]

Danny Dyers daughter got married yesterday to a footballer, wonder if the Buckleys were invited considering they're all such good mates,or are they only mates when on camera?

Oh they'll of been there, it's definitely a real friendship Jo Dyer has regularly had to deal with Clair pissed up vomiting all over her hallway then having to clean up after her .
