Various hypocritical and shady comments from Jo Good's BBC Radio London show last Friday, 23rd July.
There are three separate instances here where she directs listeners to her socials, once specifically to the vlog where she is advertising the #gifted £3K arm toning treatment from a named clinic.
Listening back to this again and seeing it in transcript has angered me even more, she is blatantly promoting the treatment with a positive review, she might not be naming the clinic on the BBC but she is directing listeners to her advert for it, under the guise of "check out my socials". This has to be against BBC guidelines for its presenters.
00:03:26 "..paying tribute to my old broadcasting mate Jono Coleman..." (Who she fails to credit on her Wikipedia entry as her co-host of the breakfast show).
00:04:25 "I slept so well last night but then I did have a few drinks, oh gosh it was lovely..." (Jo Good regularly states that she does not drink).
00:05:27 "We've now got our own hosepipe in W1A.." (She does not live in W1A).
00:06:42 "If any of you follow me on social media you'll know I have a roof terrace..." (She, then - shock! - admits that it is shared with 51 other flats).
02:06:26 Speaking about her week off Jo says "...if you follow me on You Tube every minute will be filmed".
02:06:52 "As you know I've been having my arms toned, you need to follow me on social media to know what on earth I'm going on about. And I've finished my four treatments..." She goes on to say that she needs to keep it up by doing weights, and BTW she believes 4 to 5kg is 24 pounds.
Then a listener Mairead from Weybridge phones in and blows the lid on the value of MAM's arm treatment (which was gifted to her and which she advertises on her YouTube channel, althought the status of it as an AD is not disclosed in line with ASA guidelines).
02:15:50 Mairead recommends arm weights from TK Maxx for good value 2kg arm weights but Jo could find none there. "...but I was fascinated because I've watched your blog on the..um.."
Jo then talks loudly over her "...on my arms, on my arms being toned and..."
Mairead: "...but but has it really?"
Jo (sounding a bit worried looks for a distraction) : "Oh my gosh, George...George come in here and just tell everyone about my arms...he says he can't he's answering the phones, oh no he can't come in anyway we're not allowed to be in the same... room. Um, no, it's, they, seriously my arms are, have stopped flappin' around but it is far too expensive to expect anybody to do that, you know, I've got to now, the upkeep, I've got to do myself with weights."
Mairead: "yes but if one was to spend the three thousand on having the four..." At this stage Jo cuts in laughing manically in an attempt to distract from Mairead's revelation. Mairead continues: "..could you see the difference because I'm considering it".
Jo (sounding very panicked goes into a damage limitation ramble): "No, no, no Mairead don't, no Mairead do not spend three thousand pounds please don't, you know if you've got the weights use the weights I just needed something to prompt me into starting because I've stopped doin' my yoga since this Covid my whole brain has been all over the place I haven't done any of my excercise... " blah blah.
These were just a few examples on one day! I think it is important that every instance of Jo Good mentioning her socials on her BBC radio show is noted here whenever we get a chance. Many other times she gives out her actual Middle Aged Minx handle. Maybe these instances can be recorded in a dedicated section in the Tattle wiki, to be easily discoverable.
On her YouTube channel she states vlogging is not a hobby, that it is her plan B for a pension, therefore she admits it is a commercial enterprise - it is amazing that she is allowed to promote this on the BBC. Do the BBC bosses believe that her socials just comprise some personal pictures of her dog and her mum and a walk in the park, that she is sharing with her listeners? In reality her socilas contain a lot of advertising, only sometimes delcared as such, so anyone who goes to her socials after hearing her promote it on the BBC will be unclear if they are watching ads, from which Jo Good receives financial or material benefit.
