No podcast,no vlog this week. James won't walk away from social media because he doesn't secure enough regular acting work,Claire however would happily ditch it. Imagine if they had no other source of income wonder if they'd be so unreliable

80% of the comments on her latest selfie are about the vlogs and the other 20% are horny men.
some of the comments came out swinging as well, as her caption was “ POV what your dog sees” or something like that and someone actually went “ POV another week with no vlog”. 😅

I don’t get why if they’ve truly closed that chapter why they don’t just sit down for a brief explanation like guys we just find it pressurizing and we didn’t expect the following during Covid and can’t keep up or something. Anything would be better than just pretending it doesn’t exist.

Her only way to escape these comments now I reckon is to delete and create a new private IG🤷🏻‍♀️
I'm pretty sure they mentioned it briefly on the podcast a few weeks ago. Something about how they are dedicating so much time to ice hockey they are neglecting everything else in their lives - like the vlogs.

I agree they just need to come out and say they don't want to do it anymore. It will stop the constant questioning. Tbh I miss the vlogs but it's been so long now I'm sort of over it 🤷‍♀️ cba

I really agree. I've tried to be really open minded ( which for me is a stretch already because I can't do anything horror at all) and for the most part I could get past it but the mug and some of the shirts perplex me, and now this with the skull. Granted, I know it's not a gift she asked for, and probably didn't want to hurt any of their feelings because the boys were just as excited as James, but it was really really..... it didn't strike me right. I wouldn't display that or even own it even if you paid me a very large sum because it just feels like that persons remains should be resting at peace somewhere.

I'm really relieved they didn't do a branch-off channel with her talking about all that, it seemed like it'd have been a shoehorn.


The latest thing that's bothered me are these hella staged questions "viewers" are sending to their podcast. They always sound so scripted and are clearly just to generate a "hot topic" discussion. That and the paid ski trip and how many reels they've been churning out since they visited YT HQ shortly after xmas and you can tell James is eager to get numbers and engagement up. It can only get less authentic from here I fear...
James was pushing for Claire to start a true crime/horror channel,because he probably saw £signs. Claire has little interest in social media as a form of income because of the work it would involve on a regular basis. Claire enjoys her homelife but doesnt seem as invested in the social media public side,unless it involves freebies,James probably sees social media as a steadier income compared to acting for him. I agree that since the YT HQ visit and definitely a management company,they sometimes come across as creating content rather than the natural old style content. Must admit I cant stand some of the 'celeb mates ' Danny Dyer fake loud mouth hard man, Diane Bussell and Joe Sugg,she's too loud wants to be centre of attention. I really like their neighbours who they socialise with, those vlogs seem more relatable and natural

I know someone on instagram who’s very much like this, her daughter is about 3/4 and her favourite film is scream, she says she’s not into Disney. I’m sorry but at that age they shouldn’t even know they exist!

Do you remember the picture they framed, that Harrison had drawn called something like 'family forever ',even James and Claire said how dark it was. Artistically the boy is talented, but from a professional/ psychological point of view there's so much that can be taken from his drawings. Obviously Halloween horror and true crime is prevalent in their household so maybe he sees them along the lines of The Addams Family
I think from the last couple of videos they've removed that skull from the sitting room thank goodness.
I hope the children aren't exposed to a lot of the horror/serial killer stuff. They're only kids and you think they can rationalise it but sometimes they can't, and feel they're wusses to admit they don't like it.
When my daughter was about 10 she stayed with her best friends overnight. The parents (good friends too) said they all were going to watch The Exorcist and I said absolutely not. Under no circumstances. Anyway it turns out they did and I was livid. Shouted down by everyone in my ex husband that I was being silly and it was just 'pretend' and that the children had found it funny.
Years later my daughter told me she had been absolutely terrified and hadn't wanted to watch it. It had affected her for a very long time.
Clare especially seems to find horror and gore entertaining and amusing, and glamourous - fair enough if that's her thing - but I really hope they shield their children from it.

Who is their management now that Gleam is no more? I've only watched a few of their vlogs as they didn't interest me enough to watch more regularly, but I saw James on Twitch a few times and got the impression that he's quite money-orientated.



Clair was a FHM 'High Street Honeys' finalist in 2007. She said she wanted to win so that she didn't have to get a real job 👀

James earns loads doing cameo, easy money, just sending a short message .

I wonder why they see Danny and Jo as goals cos their relationship is toxic as fuck. All they talked about is the horrible arguments they had.

I find their podcast incredibly boring- they only have 2 types of story, drunks on trains, sex toys- it’s such a boring podcast I can’t believe it’s in the pod charts.

I think he’s made about 280k a year from cameo but I saw a bit of his show with Neil Morrisey and his acting was shite.

It's a marriage that needs alcohol to survive.
She constantly posts pictures on IG saying tired Icehockey mum,I think she will love all the attention from men,because I dont for one moment believe that James attends kids training sessions or anything that isnt public enough where he can play the celebrity. I notice she never deletes any sexual or disgusting comments on her posts from men

Im really hoping as an animal lover that if and when they return they actually sit down sensibly and discuss with viewers what actually happened with Paisley 🙁
At the end of the day their audience are adults and they were a five in a sense, im pretty sure she was even on the cover of their book so I think a discussion about pet loss and their experience would be really good.

Overall I like Clair and James and they clearly loved her but if I'm totally honest I found it hard not to judge when in some her last appearances Paisley was looking VERY out of condition and panting heavily just walking around the house she also seemed to be struggling badly with her weight on her walk with James
I genuinely thought at the time that poor dog is going to end up pegging out with a heart attack
Obviously it could of been something long term that they hadn't shared but I hope they realise that we don't expect every vlog has to be daft and jokey it's ok to vlog and give us a bit of genuine reality .

Again no vlogs for 3 weeks,despite claiming to have one barbecuing, but lots of Aff links from Clair and James actually working on comic relief, thats probably him done with work for this year. They only do the podcast because someone else probably edits and uploads,that would eat into their precious drinking time. So many lazy so caĺed celebrities with failing careers use youtube to fund their lifestyles / grab freebies but can't be bothered to put in the work required

so Clair's basically a gold-digger
They were her words, it was a video of an interview for one of the lads mags she used to model for. I 100% believe she's a good mum and adores both boys,as for her and James I really don't know. I think at times she comes across as bored with the lifestyle, he's out and about with his mates and playing the 'celeb'and she's at home cleaning the toilets and endless laundry, not a very glamorous lifestyle and maybe not what she expected when they first met

Maybe they weren't happy him marrying a cheap glamour model/Gold-digger?
Did wonder this, if they thought he had a chance at making it really big in the height of inbetweeners fame, but then got married and had 2 kids back to back at 24. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but if I had the chance of being a movie star I may have waited a couple of years haha.
They do like to project themselves as being cool but they have lived a pretty sheltered life, settled down very early, don’t really travel the world etc. they just skipped the ‘20’s and free’ stage. Don’t know if maybe they now have FOMO so overjustify being ‘homebodies’. I mean, sure, I’m in my 30’s too and love a takeout and movie while the kids are in bed. But I didn’t so much in my early 20’s, had to get ‘party’ out my system, and I didn’t even have the chance of getting into celeb parties. She really locked it down fast “accidentally”, “twice”, and put a stop to all that.

shows that Claire spends most time with the boys
You're right, eventhough James is at home I think he spends most of his time doing his own thing. The vlogs do give the impression that he's extremely lazy and selfish, he went out and bought lots of food for his own meals,cooks for himself. I know Claire does a lot in the house but cooking isn't particularly strong, take aways,eating out and processed food does seem to be heavily relied upon. Sometimes Claire seems almost fed up/bored, I wonder how she'll cope once the boys are older

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…
