Very pleased with the outcome, and he's commented to housemates his mum is attractive, definitely didn't want to draw attention to it with a photo! Didn't watch all the Jordan interview, will catch up later. Didn't realise Trish wasn't there either. What a disaster for Trish, but also, whoever writes those things in the first place. As young as 11 maybe earlier I have no idea, I remember seeing racism, hearing inappropriate words being used (by my parents no less), and knowing it was wrong and not replicating. So really, it's terrible behaviour. I don't think she'll come back from this.
I think a long summer series would (1) cost lots of money (production staff, hosts, all the other costs) and (2) I really don't think it would pull huge audience figures. Yes I'm aware it used to be summer, I used to watch but nowadays usually here, there and everywhere over summer - I bet others are too. There must be a big reason they're not doing in summer. Scheduling clash, key staff recovering from LI, lower audience figures in summer?
