The only people I’ve seen use ‘gay’ as an insult recently are teens and people in their early 20s. I thought most of us who used to use have now learnt better.

Exactly. I'm really surprised to hear a 40 year old using it that way and the fact she said it so easily shows it's something she probably says regularly.

It doesn't offend me, but it definitely makes me think less of people who use it that way (and I thought very little of Kerry already :D ).

Heard that. The rubbish presenter that is Nick Ferrari could have made that an interesting topic for people to call in about, I would have. Instead he trivialised it, started talking about gay poodles 😠

It did shock me when I heard a teen say it. We used to throw it around a lot in the 00s but I haven’t heard it for years.

That doesn’t surprise me when it comes to him. Lots will adopt a “you can’t say anything these days!” mindset and will make it out to be nothing.

But if a white person said something like “that’s so black”, people wouldn’t defend it in the same way when it’s equally as bad.

Yes, it's cringey to hear a 40+ person using the term, and I would think less of someone (of any age) using it.
 
I hope that they actively show people walking away from her mid conversation to make an actual point

The editing where people make accusations (though this one is certainly true) and it’s not shown whether that has happened is annoying, but also this is exactly the sort of content we have been asking for and if it shouldn’t be brushed under the carpet with “oh that’s really sad” again
 
Urgh I can just tell that Kerrie is convinced she’s the nation’s sweetheart.

Re. Jordan’s way of speaking, he mentioned they always sound polite and have a nice manner of talking on Downton Abbey. Not that he learnt to mimic the upper class accent. If you’re posh you’re posh and speak the queen’s English no matter where you’re from. He’s from Scunthorpe but i can’t imagine him talking like Jake Quickenden one minute then next minute be chatting like King Charles 😂

You don’t even really have to be posh. The accent is easy to pick up if you’re friends with posh people - happens plenty in uni. People also switch between accents frequently and naturally depending who they are with or what they’re talking about

I really don’t know why people are so bothered about his accent 😅 I think he just sounds a bit unnatural but that’s a result of him possibly being autistic or/and clearly holding back a lot on the show because he wants to keep up a certain image. I think he mentioned last night how he doesn’t want to be emotional on the show specifically?

I’m just saying I don’t think he’s fakes his accent.

I know, I just wanted to have a bit of a rant, sorry! 😭

Someone posted a YouTube link to a recording of the livestream a few days ago and I can’t find it now. Does that person happen to have previous/latest stream recorder and uploaded 👀
