Is currently getting her arse handed to her by Judge Rinder on Good Morning Britain...

She is not coming across well.

I've had to turn off. Uncomfortable viewing!

I think she's had some surgery since the Captain Tom stuff - nose looks different and cheeks look smoother. It was obvious when they showed her alongside footage from 2020.

She really needs to give it a rest now, they monetised his memory in a particularly shitty way and there’s no getting away from that facts.
If she really wants to be seen as charitable she needs to go do some real charity work.

sourgrapes45 · 07/03/2025 08:25

Rob Rinder is barely containing his contempt for her.

On one hand I do feel a bit sorry for her, her reputation is in tatters and she looks very meek and uncomfortable. But she obviously is a dodgy character.

Pfft, shes got absolutely zero fucking shame.

Anrom19 · 07/03/2025 08:30

I had to turn over too, he really didn’t hold back !

Appalonia · 07/03/2025 08:31

Wow, he's being forensic with her, you can tell he's a barrister!

MrsBennetsPoorNerves · 07/03/2025 08:33

She is apparently writing her autobiography, so it is in her interests to stay in the public eye, no matter how awkward it might be. Good marketing.

The woman is all about the money.

MidnightPatrol · 07/03/2025 08:35

Why is she seeking more than publicity?

I don’t think her reputation is saveable.

burnoutbabe · 07/03/2025 08:36

It was really awkward.

Maybe she was told "you'll be interviewed by Kate" who is both nice but can ask both sides of the debate. Instead she gets rob which was quite intense.

If I want that sort of thing I'll watch piers Morgan's YouTube show!

She could choose not to be on TV. Well done to Judge Rinde. She is shameless.

jackspratswife01 · 07/03/2025 08:36

I had to turn over as it was uncomfortable viewing but also she is a total charlatan so glad she got the roasting. She has to live with tarnished reputation forever so that's her commence. I have to say I didn't get the whole captain Tom thing but that's a different story.

Feelingstrange2 · 07/03/2025 08:39

I think her business is probably in tatters so the only way she can move forward is by staying in the public eye in whatever way she can. Either that or she has one of those personalities that just can't let go. She's convinced herself of whatever and she won't rest until she's won (which she wont).

It was always telling her sister had nothing to do with anything at all and now her husband has gone quiet too. I think he is just leaving it to her. She's her own worst enemy!

My wife insists that she and her husband were at the children's book event held in Buckingham Palace attended by the Queen.

scorchedwitch · 07/03/2025 08:49

Who will buy this book?

boulevardofbrokendreamss · 07/03/2025 08:53

I thought RR was brilliant. She is awful.

'I have to say I didn't get the whole captain Tom thing but that's a different story.'

Me too! I know it was a seriously weird time all round but people absolutely lost their minds over him, wound up by the tabloids and their 'feel good story' bullshit. The poor man was wheeled out at every opportunity and talked into recording that completely unlistenable version of 'You'll Never Walk Alone'. Absolutely dreadful

Would love to see Rob Rinder in full barrister mode

Probably those who bought Spare!

Confused What has that got to do with her being on TV this morning?

Mightymoog · 07/03/2025 08:56

I was pissing myself when people were going along with that family of grifters.
People lost their minds in covid.

SofaSpuds · 07/03/2025 08:56

I hope no one buys her book, she's shameless.

Poor man?

He was as big a grifter as the rest of his family.

ThejoyofNC · 07/03/2025 08:59

Is it online anywhere? Would like to watch it

You reckon 450k sales in a week? Goodness.
