... has no job. She's one of these people who wafts around celebrity versions of this/that/the other with nothing to qualify her as a celebrity other than a stint in Coronation Street that, apart from an odd appearance or two since then, she left over a decade ago. She's had absolutely no acting jobs since.

Let's bash women for no reason at all

DisforDarkChocolate · 24/04/2023 17:49

And?

MiIIiee · 24/04/2023 17:49

And? What a pathetic post. Screams jealousy.

Teddypops · 24/04/2023 17:50

So? Does she have to work?

She is loaded, why would she?

I wouldn't work if I was loaded.

You must be jealous.

AngeloMysterioso · 24/04/2023 17:50

What’s your point?

VeggieSausage · 24/04/2023 17:50

Does it matter? She pays her own way (presumably) so why does it impact on you?

AppleCrumbleIceCreamDream · 24/04/2023 17:50

What is the problem?
Like many women, she has prioritised staying at home with the children and is fortunate enough that her husbands salary could cover it.
What a weird thread to start, deliberately initiating the slagging off of a woman.

Erex · 24/04/2023 17:51

She can obviously afford to not work then, nothing wrong with that.

LittleFreakJezebel · 24/04/2023 17:51

Meh I probably wouldn't work if I was her either

aberlot · 24/04/2023 17:51

Those celeb things she does, they are jobs!

LittleBrenda · 24/04/2023 17:52

Pah! Loads of women don't work. And doesn't she have small children?

I work part time because I want to but I don't need to because I have enough money not to.

NeatCompactSleeper · 24/04/2023 17:52

Thanks for that information OP because I'm sure we were all sitting about wondering.

Thank God you came along to tell us this important information 👍

Coffeeandbourbons · 24/04/2023 17:53

Come on she won’t be relying on Universal Credit so what’s the issue?

Tontostitis · 24/04/2023 17:53

Mum shaming on mumsnet

ItsThePlayBusDingDing · 24/04/2023 17:53

I don't have a job either, not even the odd stint somewhere, feel free to bash me as well 🤷🏻‍♀️

TheSaturdayAfternoonnessOfIt · 24/04/2023 17:53

She's a 'TV personality' then, rather than an actor.

Does it heck! To be a celebrity, surely you have to have something that qualifies you as having some skill that is in the public eye. She doesn't have that any more.

Calm down it's only a bloody question.

Just to balance it out, I'd say the same thing about Joe Swash, Joey Essex. Nothing to do with being a woman.

And?!?!

I know loads of people of one half that don’t work and they’re names aren’t on mumsnet

my god what a horrible horrible post.

Are you going on telly though?

KarmaStar · 24/04/2023 17:54

And?? Your point is?? 🙄
Why post something so judgemental and negative? It's none of your business and nobody gives a monkey's what you think as this post says more about you than her.

GodSaveTheClean · 24/04/2023 17:55

And? Maybe she has access to excellent investment advice and doesn’t need to work.

If she irritates you so much why start a thread about her, giving more exposure on a well known platform?

aberlot · 24/04/2023 17:55

Those appearances are jobs. Just in case you missed it unthread. That's her doing jobs. Working. Earning.

No. She’s already a celebrity and her skill was acting

once your famous you don’t need to continue to really stay famous.

plus she stays relevant. So what??

I thought she didn't work!

HF is not gatecrashing these celebrity TV shows - she's being booked to appear on them.
