I agree.She's a 16 year old girl and I'm sure you will all agree we don't want to see this turn into an attack on her...I post this before we all get attacked for supposedly piling on the poor daughter.
Didn't she go to the Brit school? Or was that the other daughter?I don’t believe that this artist taught herself to play piano via YouTube and has never had a music lesson in her life. Feels like another thing to make her seem more ‘normal’ like any normal kid from a deprived background should stop complaining and become a professional musician off their own bat.
I haven’t heard her song so have no opinion on it but this group of women only give a leg-up to their own. I’m sick of their fake working-class routes providing cover for them to do whatever they like.
I'm sure I haven't made that up but can't find anywhere that says so.Didn't she go to the Brit school? Or was that the other daughter?

This exactly. The 'anonymity' is a figleaf so they can all pretend it is highly ethical. Lauren's arch 'she's a 16 year old from London' without mentioning she knows her extremely well and is an old family friend is just cringe worthy. I don't know if she should mention it but she put herself in that position so I think is open to criticism. It's just a continuation of this lot helping their friends/relatives using a position of power - Sali constantly plugging Hersheson's (I see them as friends of hers by this stage).They are labouring the "anonymous" line, thinking that it will later get them off the hook ("She did it all herself!" "No one knew who she was!" etc). But this only addresses the OBVIOUS aspect of nepotism, not all the advantages conferred behind the scenes: the industry contacts, the what I assume to be the fancy performing arts school (?), that the overwhelming majority of kids simply do not have access to. LL should be ashamed of herself. They are all such hypocrites
I raise my hand in shame as I too admit to buying 'Pretty Honest'. All I can say is that I must have been 'Pretty Gullible' at the timeI had a look at my trusty copy of Pretty Honestand all the glowing gushing soundbites on the cover were by Caitlin Moran, Lauren Laverne, India Knight and Marian Keyes. So wonderfully impartial and diverse then.
It's shite. How can I delete it from kindle? I kept dipping in and out of it waiting to read something revelatory but nope....Jackie magazine special...If it wasn't on kindle it would have been straight to the charity shop.I raise my hand in shame as I too admit to buying 'Pretty Honest'.

It's strange that this seems to pass them by. Anyone who works in the corporate or charity sectors (as I do) will know that it is well understood that transparency - such as in relation to personal interests and connections - is crucial to maintaining customer/donor/public trust.This exactly.

Her kids names are Eavie & Dora. Pete Paphides has always referred to them as such, but for some reason, for years, including in How To Be A Woman, she called them Lizzie & Nancy. I assume it was an attempt at some anonymity, but really, what’s the point when your husband is using their real names?I don’t think anyone’s blaming the girl at all. She’s only a kid and isn’t masterminding her own career. Her name isn’t Eaves though, is it? I’m guessing Evie? I don’t know CM’s kid’s names.
But nepotism... ugh I hate it. And the dishonesty of the likes of LL accidentally-on-purpose forgetting to mention she’s known this girl since she was little.
I hate the way that literally every young up-and-coming person in the public eye (be it TV/radio presenter, actor, model) is the child of a celeb. Nepotism has always existed but it just seems so endemic now. There used to be opportunities for working class people to be discovered and make it big if they were talented enough. I’m not sure that’s true anymore.
