I must admit to being drawn to watch Jordan/KP and Pete's programme every time it's on.
However, if I was forced to answer the question do I like her?, I think on balance I'd have to say no because I think her bad points ultimately outweigh what good points she does have.
She claims that she wants her programme to present a "warts and all, no holds barred" snapshot of her daily life so, if that's true, then I'm sorry but I'm forced to conclude that what I see on the programme is the real her. And, on the basis of what I see of her, I don't really see a great deal to like.
I don't think she's "fiesty". She's certainly gobby, no one can deny that (is that necessarily a quality?) but for the most part I think she's just crude and crass. She seems to have little or no sense of humour and no wit. She often comes across as being very unthoughful and inconsiderate, selfish and spolit.
Every time you think that she actually is being quite sensible she goes and spoils it. For example, when she's doing her dressage, or when she was castrating that horse, or when she's at the doctor's or the dentist and you actually think that for a minute or two you might just be able to take her seriously and that she's not going to completely embarrass herself she goes and does, or says, something crude or crass and you just cringe for those around her. You just want someone to tell her that it's not big and it's not clever. I often wonder if she will still carry on this way on TV when her children are old enough to hear it.
I cringe at the way her entourage have to listen to all she comes out with too and not be seen to turn a hair at what she says (I know they're paid by her but really). I'm no prude but there really is no need to conduct herself the way she does in public or in front of other people, even if they are your close family, friends and colleagues. It's not that I'm shocked at the sexual stuff she comes out with but it just really makes me squirm.
We know that she does have loads of fans and I don't really know what makes her so appealing to people and would love to know what it is.
Ultimately, like many celebs, she is a self absorbed exhibitionist with an ego the size of a planet. She's got plenty of money (which, fair play to her she's worked for) and she thinks she can use to buy absolutely anything she wants, when she wants (which, again, to be fair it seems she can).
But despite all this, I never miss her programme.
It's a while to wait for the next series now. I wonder how they'll fill the next one? I hope she's got some more surgery booked in, or maybe they'll renew their wedding vows again with a different theme. Or maybe she'll go for another pregnancy and more free publicity for the Portland Hospital (although she's probably worked it that they pay her a commission). I'll still be watching though. For me, it's compulsive viewing
And I wonder how large her manager Claire will be by the next series?
