Just read it on bbc (need a lesson in linking, sorry).

They've asked for privacy...

I'm quite sad, I think they are the only people who could put up with each other. I quite like them in a funny way although if I came across either of them I'd have nothing to say to them. They're interesting in a very dull way

izyboy · 11/05/2009 20:53

Oh crokky you ol' romantic!

ruddynorah · 11/05/2009 20:53

i watch them every week. they horrify me but entertain me. freak show i suppose. i find their lifestyle fascinating yet revolting.

izyboy · 11/05/2009 20:54

That's it in a nutshell Plimple

AitchTwoOh · 11/05/2009 20:54

oh don't worry, they'll get back together. this is all just a plotline, i'm sure.

AitchTwoOh · 11/05/2009 20:56

from what i saw he was the one in an emotionally abusive relationship, tbh.

izyboy · 11/05/2009 20:56

Oh my gosh RuddyNorah you make an episode of K&P sound like a right emotional rollercoaster!

izyboy · 11/05/2009 20:57

Aitch he gave as good as he got! And lived a guilded life to boot.

AitchTwoOh · 11/05/2009 20:58

i presumed everyone was watching a freak show, weren't they? you're surely not saying that some of you thought they were a happily married couple? is your marriage like that?

AitchTwoOh · 11/05/2009 20:59

he never did give as good as he got, not by a long shot. and if it's not good enough to tell an abused woman that she should be grateful for her lifestyle then it isn't for a man either.

izyboy · 11/05/2009 21:00

Nope but some people are happy in their 'misery'.

izyboy · 11/05/2009 21:01

...where is he being 'abused' more than her? Admittedly I watch this stuff rarely, but when I do he is bloody awful as much as she is horrible.

mrsmaidamess · 11/05/2009 21:03

Funny how this 'break up'story has come after that huge row on their programme...which was filmed in February. I bet 1000's more people tune in next week....

izyboy · 11/05/2009 21:05

Oh and someone who puts themselves up for 'I'm a celeb' can't be all that happy with their 'ordinary joe' existence at Ma and Pa's place.

AitchTwoOh · 11/05/2009 21:09

well that's true, i suppose. i think i said happy enough, though. plus you have to remember that they do cast these things, jordan's always said she had a thing for him, maybe he was there on purpose?

i really think him being a bit of a nob and her being a cold-hearted, emotionally stunted, insecure, jealous, castrating bitch are hardly the same.

izyboy · 11/05/2009 21:11

Not keen on her are you Aich lol!

izyboy · 11/05/2009 21:13

See I remember thinking 'insecure' and 'jealous' were the 2 elements that drew them together emotionally on I'm a Celeb. A 'meeting of minds' if you please...

mollyroger · 11/05/2009 21:15

I am reading this through a veil of tears. She was the People's Plastic-Puppied Publicity-mad Porno-Princess and some of you are being very cynical and horrid.

" AitchTwoOh 19:43:54
oh yes, i really don't buy the mother of the year stuff. i've seen that kate and peter thing a few times over the years... i'm thinking attachment disorder... possibly stemming from childhood abuse. sad, but there you go, she's got a bit missing now and can't do human relationships. from what i've seen, he's the one who does the parenting. (lord how i loathe that word hmm). "

Sorry to quote, I wandered off to sort out DD.

I just think that's awful.
From what we have seen on TV/in magazines, she's not an awful mother, and like most kids I'd guess they want to be with her.
Why wish them away from her?

I'm far from a perfect mother, and I haven't provided even a fraction of what she has and if anyone wished DD away from me I'd be heartbroken.

izyboy · 11/05/2009 21:16

Has anyone yet picked up on the irony of the statement 'they've asked for privacy....'

noddyholder · 11/05/2009 21:19

Just because they both display similar dysfunctional traits doesn't mean they should be together as the children have no choice as to whether they have to experience all that crap!I think he probably ran out of steam with her in the end.She is cold as ice and he never seemed like that initially but the whole circus has obviously affected him too.If it was just the two of them it would be morbidly fascinating but like KK there are children involved who are powerless

AitchTwoOh · 11/05/2009 21:20

she was foul on i'm a celeb, very undermining of kerry katona while pretending to be her friend. it's not that i don't 'like' jordan, (well, i don't, she's a pornographer) so much as that i find her a deeply, deeply damaged person. i think something terrible happened to her in the woodshed, iykwim, vide her very peculiar piers morgan interview where she got v upset over a flasher and that's made her an abuser now. shame for her, like i say, but she does not behave with kindness to the people in her life from what i've seen.

AitchTwoOh · 11/05/2009 21:21

mugglewump, what has she provided that you haven't, exactly? money? you surely don't think that's the important contribution one makes as a parent?

izyboy · 11/05/2009 21:23

I dont know if I'd want to be all that kind to someone who was always trying to dry hump me, or allude to his lack of nuptials.

mollyroger · 11/05/2009 21:24

pah. I am wasted on you lot....
