The cheek of these x-rated stars - Three little birds bakery - Keighley

The cheek of Catherine tildsley!

Begs belief

Good on the shop owner for her great response 😃

Just seen the IG reply. She's still not doing herself any favours!

Saying Something along the lines of I'm so sorry, I understand times are hard and expecting anyone to do anything for me for free is a bit cheeky.

There was an indie wool shop in Manchester who when approached for a similar 'opportunity' blogged it, naming no names and started a range of colours called "If I want exposure I'll get my tits out".

The bakery have played this really well and got loads of exposure now. Good on them.

It’s in papers other than the DM !

There’s a lot of stuff in her instagram that is “#gifted”.

Honestly, people who seem nice in the public eye can be absolute divas cunts in their little town and surrounding villages and her family have already got a name for themselves there. This came as no surprise.

It was the events company who made the request not the 'celebrity'
The 'celebrity' doesn't seem to be involved at all - why on earth are you calling her a cheeky cow ?

Remind me who the events company works for? I used to work for an events company - we didn't rush off organising things without client input. A lot of it.

I know, and he gets a smaller cake too! I think that in itself comfirms some of the stories I've heard about her.

Well the bakery owners/workers are probably on not much more than minimum wage, so this z list sleb will be on multiples more than that!

Like those stars who claimed they were innocent when they were found out to be involved in tax evasion schemes and blamed their advisors! No sane person believes that they didn't know exactly what was going on and that it was on their instructions.

Good for the bakery. CT comes across as really unpleasant. She’s hardly a top celebrity either.

It's nothing new. There was a TV program about the 1920s and the "Posh" famous hotels in London giving away free parties for the popular socialites of the time, to showcase their hotels, get other "slebs" of the day into their hotels, etc., all in the hope of paid business in the future. "Famous" people have been milking their fame for decades to get freebies. The only difference these days is that it's all based around social media.

I suppose in such circumstances one could send them a greatly inflated quote for "expenses" and then it's up to them whether or not they accept it.

CT’s response is awful! What a dreadful attitude.

Trouble is then they'd risk the sleb being all over social media saying they're a rip-off bakery. You really can't win at all.

I can just imagine the sad face claiming how unfair it was that the bakery wanted all the SM exposure and were only willing to give a 10% reduction (which is probably their "profit" after accounting for time costs, ingredients, overheads, etc).

The reality is the sleb (or their agents) was probably just expecting to pay for the ingredients so maybe expecting a discount of 80% or even 90% because as we all know (!!!) the ingredients of cakes cost next to nothing don't they?

The party planner are not being paid either, only in exposure.

As an aside the bakery posted a pic of a fabulous cake she did for Mel B stating that it was fully paid for by her friend

My thoughts exactly. Just a simple reply back to the party planners would have sufficed, but the cake shop owner wouldn't have got herself any free publicity that way. She's just as bad in my books

I work in an industry where we are often asked for freebies in return for 'exposure.' We've done it a couple of times in the early days -fairly big celebrity weddings etc but we got absolutely zero from it. The credits are always hidden and to be honest who ever goes looking for them anyway? It's a lot of hard, expensive work for very little.
Now we just politely say no.

There's no way CT wouldn't have signed off on the events company blagging for free stuff - they will have sent her at the very least an itemised expectation of cost for the party. She's made herself look a right twat in her insta reply.

Wow CT response. What a vile woman she is. Comes across as rude and disrespectful and used to getting whatever she wants ‘babes’ how demeaning.

Well done to that bakery 👏

Or maybe she is sick of being asked to work for.hours for nothing. Would you work for free? Maybe by posting on her socials and highlighting this problem she is will discourage others from contacting her asking her and her staff to subsidise a "celeb"'s birthday party.

And Cat's response was shit. Maybe she should be spending some of her saved cash on a PR person rather than party planners.

And who the fuck has a "Camp as Tits" theme for a 40th birthday party??? Why are tits camp?

I know! What a dreadful response, she just made herself look a thousand times worse.

Absolute bollocks that the celebrity wouldn't know this was being done! They are all at it! The baker was absolutely right to call this out because its grifting at its finest!

CT showed exactly what a bitch she really is with her spiteful reply!

The way she adjusts her glasses and gives a smug look makes me so angry!

I hope the bakery goes from strength to strength. That video is embarrassing
