what is the deal with Sam's mum?

What do you mean?

She was on his adhd show and got on.

She didn't agree he had adhd and wondered why he wanted a diagnosis. I don't think she even believed he had it either once it was confirmed.

I was diagnosed at 35 and my mum didn't think I had it. I suppose mums just see their behaviours as "normal" to them?

Unless something happened since?

Unless I'm mistaken, it looks like Nigel is fully taking part in the cyclone

It looks like he's first star

MillarMountVandal · 09/12/2023 13:32

I think Nigel HAS remained incredibly guarded throughout, I don't think we've seen the real Nigel at all. The only unguarded moment (even with his daughter, he remained very stoic) we've saw was in the bus with Josie, when he was talking about how irresistibly wonderful he is.

I'm not terribly au fait with Nigel's greater political stance, ie beyond leaving the EU (and it's impossible to gauge how leaving the EU has impacted thus far. In spite of my, personally, being in favour of remaining, I think we're reaping the ills of repeatedly shutting down the economy during the covid years, and the Ukraine war; our woes are very largely not due to leaving the EU).
And when he says immigration requires far better control, he's correct.

So, contrary to what most PP's are saying, his political stances are neither here nor there for me. It's him, as a person, I'm not keen on. He was giving major sleazy vibes during that (rare) candid glimpse he gave us during his chat with Josie. He's conned ITV good and proper out of £1.5 million - his contribution to the program hasn't been worth a tenth of that.

Completely agree 100% with this!

itsgettingweird · 09/12/2023 14:10

Well you can't blame him for his contribution or lack of. He doesn't choose what they air!

But I agree with a lot of what you say re the politics. Lots of times what he says is fact. What I disagree with him on is how we solve those issues as I don't have a far right stance.

I'm not sure even Nigel knows his stance on immigration - that said, nor (it would appear) do the tories or labour!
I think Nigel was (certainly at one time) in favour of an Australia style points system.

Anyway, apologies for bringing politics in to the thread 😄

HappyHamsters · 09/12/2023 14:39

We only see highly edited snippets, I think he was joking about being a lady magnet. He couldn't co ordinate all the trials as his right hand is out of sync after his accident, you could see his hand shaking. What would you like him to do ?

JaneJeffer · 09/12/2023 14:59

What would you like him to do ?

I'd like him to do one

Very mature

Aquarius1234 · 09/12/2023 15:07

I bet Nigel is the type to roll his eyes at LGBTQ characters on TV and films.
He never seems open minded to me.

JaneJeffer · 09/12/2023 15:07

Thanks @lollipoprainbow 😜

Aquarius1234 · 09/12/2023 15:10

And totally agree about him being guarded and boring with what he talks about.
He occasionally tells Sam to F off and moans about bits of string on the ground outside..
Also hated it when he wasn't picked for trials due to the 25% air time.
As tho it should be a given that he gets voted every time even tho he's mute about his views.

I am totally no fan of Nigel Farage - but wasn't he deliberately winding Josie up on the bus with the "MEP stories"? he was saying this stuff with a very fake sincerity expression while she was wide-eyed and lapping it up.

Yes wouldn't be surprised if it was more that he was winding her up

I didn't interpret it in that way, but can see what you mean! I find him very difficult to read in general, so maybe I've just missed that.

JaneJeffer · 09/12/2023 15:44

He meant every word

ilovebrie8 · 09/12/2023 15:49

C’mon @JaneJeffer I think you secretly have a crush on old Nige 😜

It’s hard to tell as we’ve not seen a great deal of him he has seems quite balanced, and not been two faced and talked behind people’s backs…don’t think he was with £1.5m though surely that can’t be right?!

TodayInahurry · 09/12/2023 15:55

No they offered him £1.50 million to go on the show. Then they showed very little of him and Ant and Dec were making nasty comments about him and GB News. People are voting for him in droves so the two unfunny idiots have had to shut up.

I think she was cringing as opposed to lapping it up - there was nothing at all to suggest that he was on the wind up.

JaneJeffer · 09/12/2023 16:15

@ilovebrie8 I think you should know me better than that 🤮

JaneJeffer · 09/12/2023 16:16

Rude

JaneJeffer · 09/12/2023 16:19

Apart from Kian I don't think anyone I've wanted to win has ever won

MillarMountVandal · 09/12/2023 16:23

They're both single eh, so maybe he was having a crack at Josie 😂

Oh yes he probably was @MillarMountVandal trying to make out like women were flinging themselves at him. As if.
