She looks a really damaged soul :-(

I am not especially au fait with her apart from the odd thing I've read about her and wouldn't know who she was if I saw her in the street. She is on This Morning which I never normally watch but it's on and I am cleaning.

Feel a bit sorry for her tbh

First I've heard of her here too. Got a cosy rock I live under though. :-D

sebsmummy1 · 22/01/2015 13:40

Is she the girl who had breast implants on the NHS then started escorting and got pregnant by one of her clients? Then threatened to abort to go on Big Brother?

Notgoodwithwords · 22/01/2015 13:45

She was trying to convince Scofe (or herself) that she was doing all this to give her children a better life... But sadly to her a better life means being able to dress them up in Chavy designer labels so they don't get bullied!!

Her current major projects are a website that gets together women that want to get pregnant & a willing man to have unprotected sex with her.. Josie says it goes on all the time in clubs this is making it safer & easier!!!! Confused

The other is a donation website to raise funds for her nose job called 'fund my nose'!!! Confused

My favourite admission has to be her sending DNA results to the 2 potential dads of her last born on Christmas Day (she thought it would be a nice gift) but she got them mixed up & sent them to wrong person.. Either an ex or an ex client when she was working as a prostitute!!!!

She's delightful!!!

DarylDixonsDarlin · 22/01/2015 13:50

I think she is the new Katie price, in terms of people love to hate her...thats what the public hatred for her reminds me of. Bit sad. I only saw a clip of her on the telly, hasn't she got a programme on tv this week?

She should stop making such a twat of herself.

weaselsquirrel · 22/01/2015 14:01

Never heard of her off to google

Fleetfoxes · 22/01/2015 14:32

Does anybody else think that in a warped kind of way she's actually quite intelligent? I mean she knows what she's doing in regards to grabbing the attention of the public, I don't know I just think that she's got everything planned out somehow. She seems very concise in interviews, knows how to back herself up.

I just think she's not quite as daft as she's portrayed. Could be wrong

fancyanotherfez · 22/01/2015 14:43

She must have an equally odious agent getting his/her 10% from every outrageous appointment she has. What annoys me is that she didn't get her boob job on the NHS, any more than that woman who was in the newspaper yesterday had a 'designer vagina' on the nhs (I'm working from home and clearly need to restrict my internet use!). She had a genuine medical condition. She has chosen to exploit it and make herself notorious. In the process, she may well end up getting treatment for other women restricted or not funded as a result of the publicity about our ' hard earned taxes' going on plastic surgery

Fleetfoxes · 22/01/2015 14:50

Yes didn't she have very little breast tissue?

HerRoyalNotness · 22/01/2015 15:21

I don't know, I googled her before photo and she looked just fine. Newspapers report that she was a 32A. I think she's told a very good sob story to get the enlargements tbh. I have friends with very little tissue and struggled to BF, there is no way they'd expect the govt to pick up the bill for implants.

She seems to think she can be a glamour/swimsuit model, but sadly for her, she doesn't really have the face for it. i have neither the body nor the face

Fleetfoxes · 22/01/2015 15:33

If you put it into context, regardless of the fact that she has a medical condition which means that she has little or no breast tissue, there are children being denied life enhancing/saving operations due to lack of NHS funding. I'm talking about children who have seriously disabling conditions such as cerebral palsy yet they find the money to enhance this woman's chest. It's not really a necessity is it? But a child being denied an operation which could help him to walk and completely alter his life for the better

SaucyMare · 22/01/2015 15:35

so she isn't the daughter of happy days?

DreamingOfAHotDrink · 22/01/2015 15:40

On the other thread, someone said they heard the Manager speak on Radio 4. The Manager has had this all planned out.

Germgirl · 22/01/2015 15:52

That was Joanie Saucy :)

TheEponymousGrub · 22/01/2015 15:54

I dunno who she is either

SaucyMare · 22/01/2015 18:27

Dreaming ahh simple mistake

mommy2ash · 22/01/2015 19:31

my personal beliefs lead me to be sad for people like her. it's all fine saying she came from a good background but good to one person isn't the same as good to the next. I think it's a pitiful way to be and i bet there is a reason behind it all. it's a shame she hasn't been able to heal before she begins a new cycle with her children

Summerisle1 · 22/01/2015 19:36

I'd never heard of her either. However, she comes across as an attention seeking waste of space who, in the words of her agent, is entirely talentless hence needing to trail through life behaving stupidly. There's a thread about her on Chat too. Eat Shit Derek has personal knowledge of her and has some interesting things to say!

AndHarry · 22/01/2015 19:51

As someone else said, her manager was on R4 last night. He says she gets more followers by acting outrageously than she would by being nice, so that's what they play to. They want more people to like her but not as many as hate her IYSWIM. Interesting career plan Confused

Damnautocorrect · 22/01/2015 19:56

I want to watch her program but i don't want to encourage her either. I saw her on this morning and her attitude towards the "kids get picked on for anything" comment was really sad. Yes they can, but you don't need to add to it by being so controversial and selling every aspect of your life. I don't doubt she loves them and i don't doubt she is doing her best to earn money to support her kids. But there must be another way?

o0 · 22/01/2015 20:04

That's who I thought of too, Saucy. Grin

I was very confused until I googled. Blush

yummumto3girls · 22/01/2015 20:33

I saw her on This Morning aswell today, I hadn't heard of her either so googled her. When she was on the show I thought she was very odd, hard to interview, her facial expressions didn't change once. Phil read out a list of all the things they weren't allowed to talk about because "she had a deal", she was very odd....don't know why anyone would want to watch her on TV!

Ive never heard of her so Im off to do a Google search

CheerfulYank · 23/01/2015 02:36

I think being part of a website helping women get pregnant for benefits is disgusting.

But yes I feel sorry for her.

Damnautocorrect · 23/01/2015 10:26

Well I buckled and caught some of the program. Her agent seemed hugely manipulative and the real creator of the 'character'.
