Anyone just see it? Good for her. What a horrible tag line. They're clueless.

I just came on here to see if a thread about it had been postedGrin I liked the way she dealt with it, just oh not going to talk to you, bye. Good on her. Didn't like the faux "oh I didn't even know that was on the screen!" From susannah. I hope she's not going to start being the new piers, I've only just been able to start watching it again.

Orgyofsausages · 17/03/2021 08:08

what happened?

Monkeytapper · 17/03/2021 08:13

Tag line of ‘Addict to fitness guru’ or similar

Orchidflower1 · 17/03/2021 08:14

@daisy2609 Dh said when Edwina Curry was on earlier, susannah was being stroppy. Edwina apparently said “ you’re not piers Susanna so stop it” or words to that effect.

willibald · 17/03/2021 08:18

I turned over because they got her on air and immediately starting talking about fucking Harry and Meghan.

StephenBelafonte · 17/03/2021 08:19

I don't understand, why is it offensive to call her an addict to wellness?

Sparklingbrook · 17/03/2021 08:20

I was cheering. Good for her!

Yes I was Hmm at that. EW wasn't answering the question so SR stopped her quite rightly.

EvilOnion · 17/03/2021 08:21

@StephenBelafonte I think it's more that she went from being an addict to a fitness guru.

I didn't see it and could have misunderstood but that's how I read it

lollipoprainbow · 17/03/2021 08:21

@StephenBelafonte it was written as 'addict to wellness guru' meaning she was an addict years ago and is now a wellness guru!

StephenBelafonte · 17/03/2021 08:22

oh! I wasn't aware she'd had addition issues lol.

lollipoprainbow · 17/03/2021 08:23

Suzannah found her voice finally after years of sitting there simpering over Piers!

itsgettingwierd · 17/03/2021 08:23

Agree sparkling EW thought she was a soft touch and ignored the questions.

SE was much better about holding her to account.

She's actually impressing me

treeeeemendous · 17/03/2021 08:23

I just saw it, I thought she looked very grumpy when she first came on.

Her autobiography has the word addiction on the front cover cover though so she obviously has talked about it before.

mum2jakie · 17/03/2021 08:25

I agree she's entitled to take part in whatever interview she chooses. She has written books/articles about her history as an addict so not sure she can completely escape that though? Clearly pissed off as soon as she came on screen!!

Sparklingbrook · 17/03/2021 08:25

I think the grumpy started as soon as she saw the Hmm tag line along the bottom. Well done her. she presumably had things to plug but it meant more to her that she didn't do it.
TitusPullo · 17/03/2021 08:25

@StephenBelafonte Patsy Palmer has struggled with drug/alcohol addiction in the past and it was written a lot about in the press.

MzHz · 17/03/2021 08:25

Info like Patsy, have had my path cross with hers quite a few times and she’s always so nice to everyone

Good for her to draw a line.

GMB really is the pits of tv journalism tho. I wouldn’t expect anything different from them, which is why I don’t bother

MzHz · 17/03/2021 08:26

Info? Grrr! I like Patsy

I've just notice i put 'EW' but you knew what I meant. (EC) Grin
abstractzebra · 17/03/2021 08:27

I've never really understood the sympathy for Susannah.
She has always sat next to Piers smirking and joining in when he's been rude to people so she obviously didn't think his behaviour was that bad.
It's the same with any job really. If you work for a scurrilous organisation with low morals, you are basically saying that it's ok by continuing to work for them.

EvilOnion · 17/03/2021 08:27

Ah I just watched it. I guess it depends what the interview was about - BS seemed to think it was about promoting a wellness brand so labelling her an addict because of last issues was probably a bit unnecessary.

BigSandyBalls2015 · 17/03/2021 08:32

Ben Sheppard “it wasn’t our intention to upset Patsy Palmer” nah, it was GMB’s intention, as with all tabloid media to get as close to upsetting through sensationalising as it’s possible to get.

On Twitter ... very accurate!

Bilquis · 17/03/2021 08:35

Since when has she been an addict. I don't think Ive ever seen any negative press about her and she always seems so lovely in reality shows and interviews
