I'm going off of the clips I've seen on the itv adverts. They didn't make me laugh and Jessie was clearly playing the same kooky, ditzy girl as always while wearing her own everyday wardrobe.
Are you sure it is UC? I'm not up to date on the self employed Covid support schemes, but there were grants, loans and help for people who could show their income took a knock due to Covid, and this would have been his boat. Agreed that if someone's partner is well paid and famous, they shouldn't be claiming a benefit though. UC is definitely just to help low paid and struggling workers get by with rent, food etc.Does Alfie's latest post also not sit quite right with anyone? Alluding to being on UC in order to pay for designers and creatives to help him make money in future. I assumed UC is for rent, living costs ect. It seems not quite right that Jessie is covering his living costs but because he is low income (not sure how much you're paid for gigs) he can claim and use it for designers.. To me I just think he needs a part time day job to fund his comedy career, not taxpayers
Ahh I think you're right about that - a quick scan and the 'grant through the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme' is still running so it likely is that not UC. My first thought was OK they're probably paying a bomb for a central ish London flat, 3 kids so with Jessies fluctuating income maybe they might need help. Second thoughts is Portugal, expensive clothing items others have listed on here, house moves doesn't seem like a struggling family needing government support. But maybe I'm being too harsh and judgey I don't know
I saw later that there is some new iteration of the self-employed grant scheme is released, so almost certainly that.Ahh I think you're right about that - a quick scan and the 'grant through the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme' is still running so it likely is that not UC.

gooooo to Edinburgh show!
as long as it’s not too expensive, go get the gossip for us and report back!I'm desperate to know who his ex wife is. I saw her I Loved Her show and she said that the ex was a 'good time, fun party' girl which Jessie is the opposite of.
Hear hear!gooooo to Edinburgh show!
Meal times must be utterly joyless
I definitely think it galls her - on one of the podcasts she was saying that she sometimes thinks 'is he even my boyfriend? Do you want to be here even after 3 kids?' type of thing. The kids do give the illusion of security but the ultimate proof to the world that Alfie isn't just there by force for someone quite anal like Jessie is the marriage. I bet she'll wear him down eventually!
I agree, although if she doesn't get a wedding out of him she'll probably negotiate a 4th child instead!
he said he wanted to go on the Huel powder meal replacement stuff
The thing is I really have loved Jessie’s stuff for years. I think the sense of entitlement and whining has just grated me down to the point that I realise how unhealthy and ungrateful her and Alfie seem. They have so much and yet are constantly complaining about their bodies, money status and relationship. You just reach a point where it feels like a very unhealthy, one sided relationship I guessI agree, although if she doesn't get a wedding out of him she'll probably negotiate a 4th child instead!
Just read the guardian article. I'm so dismayed that she calls herself a "fat actress" even if she believes that's how she's perceived. She's so slim with a beautiful figure and as the interviewer noted, phenomenal bone structure. She posted a pic on insta the other day wearing jeans and looked terrific, especially having given birth a few months ago. I've just never thought of her as curvy, I guess that's how it felt in the acting world 10+ years ago and next to other Potter actresses but I couldn't imagine a casting director thinking of Jessie to play a 'bigger' girl.
Tried and failed to ETA - I don't mean to sound like I'm blaming Jessie, it's not her fault she feels the way she feels or has a hang-up about this. It's really frustrating and disgusting that the entertainment industry still creates negative body issues even in a thin 30-something parent. I feel so bad for Jessie that she still feels the way she felt on set when she was 23

or a happy coincidence to specify the source of the money? Lol
