To think Catherine Tyldesley is a CF - cakegate

[eatsleepfarmrepeat]

I can’t help but feel that when you’re in a position of privilege and a celeb of any description, you shouldn’t by asking small independent businesses for free shit...

But, if you do, at least own it. The video of her belittling “the cake lady” really shows what a tramp she actually is.

I thought she looked like she’s had a facelift with the weird snatched jawline

Karma’s a bitch isn’t it Catherine…..

I worked for a builder he got contacted by channel 4 about the programme that does needy peoples property up and then they surprise them at the end with the newly renovated house.

All labour and materials to be supplied free of charge. I've seen the programme and the trades people do not get recognition.

He wasn't in a position to do this, but I thought it was immensely cheeky to ask.

That is indeed cheeky (exploitation!) bit nothing to do with this really.

I thought similar as this was flagged up here the other day just thought it was gossip. Her response is awful.

It seems like her work must be limited now after leaving Corrie and she had her daughter last year so may be on some sort of maternity leave.

Her husband (sorry if anyone’s mentioned this before) is a photographer (too many of them around!) and is the co founder of Brood magazine.

HALLELUIA! 👏

Where do you start with this one
Obviously an events company is not going to arrange a bash on the off chance their client and her husband are available,so utter bullshit that she wasn't aware
The second back peddling email to the bakery suggests she knew all about it as it states their client was always going to cover expenses(how generous!) Definitely not what the original request said at all.
If the Manchester hotel hosting this classy sounding event (sparkles, flamingos and camp as tits)have any sense they'll have payment agreed in writing and a hefty deposit.
Lastly I wonder what sort of performers have been supplied to CT,as far as I know she's not done a one woman show tour or similar.Maybe for reasons unknown she has previously been supplied with a flock of flamingos trained in the art of synchronised tap dancing! 🦩🦩🦩

Her response was awful and to claim that the company had offered to pay when everyone has seen the email is just foolish.

The cake business simply shared the request and their response on their own fairly small social media. Other small bakeries tend to follow each other and share and so they shared and then it was picked up by mainstream press.
All the details were in that first email, the bakery didn’t name her. Surely if you are trawling for freebies a more discreet first email to see if you get a bite would be prudent.
She was trying to fleece a small business which isn’t ‘kind’. They predominantly target small female run companies like cake, balloons, boutiques.

The events company themselves also weren’t being paid. They too were doing it for “exposure”. I suspect CT isn’t particularly wealthy. She left Corrie years ago and hasn’t done anything since. She probably doesn’t have a PR company either to advise her.

I'm always generally pissed off by the whole idea of influencers AKA begging for a living, but the thing that really irritated me about this whole debacle was when NVRLND tried to claim that they would never ask for anything for free (oh no deary me, not us guv, we would always pay) when it is right there in black and white that they actually did. The barefaced lying was just breathtaking.

Ha ha I like that! I'd have it for my party!

quite.

Be kind….
code for “shut the fuck up if you don’t agree with me”

Oh the irony

I have been a bit puzzled about this as I was thinking of Katherine Kelly from Coronation Street and I was thinking she has gone on to do plenty of stuff, I was obviously very disappointed as I liked her. I am glad to have been confused, I realise I have never heard of Catherine Tyldesley before.

I really think children being shared without regulation on sm will blow up in a few years with backlash from the grown up children and an overall feeling of how was this allowed.
The rules are strict for children performing on stage/tv (I’ve been a licensed chaperone) and yet there’s no equivalent for sm. Some of the oversharing is massively private eg medical conditions, special educational needs and has potential to blow up eg if child applies for normal job or travel visa and doesn’t declare something.

A bit off topic here more to do with acronyms but I had to work out who or what the heck PW and PH are. I presume it's Harry and William, which would have made more sense than the acronym!

Back to acronyms, CT is an absolute CF.

CT wasn’t kind to a bakery whose reputation she tried to trash, was she?

I reckon these CF grifters work on the basis that 'if you don't ask, you don't get' and fully expect that, even if most decline, a few will roll over and give them what they want.

However, I don't think they count on those who decline going public with the request as, to them, these people are just nameless pawns to make their world nicer, and the ones who say No are just an irrelevance to be ignored, with no right or expectation to make clear their unhappiness at being treated that way.

Oh my goodness, I've just watched the video. What was she thinking of. She comes across terribly. So rude.

I'd have claimed (later) that I must have misread 'camp as tits' as 'damp as kits' - and stirred in a load of cat wee

Let them eat cake!

That’s probably another side to the story too. If planning company Neverland were working for free then in all likelihood the person writing the email was some young graduate on an unpaid internship or work experience. I know big firms have moved for this to be paid but in smaller firms it’s still very much unpaid and often exploitation.

Has she applied for bake off yet ?

I meant to add: it's absolutely shameless and ridiculous to blame your attempted griftee for their alleged desire for attention. It's a bit like a burglar breaking into your house at night and then, when he surprises you and you whack him with a frying pan in terror, claiming that you were just there lying in wait for somebody to intrude so that you could participate in a bit of gratuitous violence to make yourself feel important.

On sky. Cringe. It certainly doesn't exude professionalism.

Didn’t she show us who she really is a few years back when she started posting pound shop Mrs Merton videos that were called out for being misogynistic.
She was accused of portraying middle aged women as hairy, incontinent and thick.
The videos are still out there
