This will probably piss of the royalists on tattle but I don't care. Yes, it is sad that Kate has cancer but people are diagnosed and suffer with it everyday. They also don't have access to the best private healthcare in the WORLD (doctors, surgeons, nutritionists). Nor can all of them take time off work, not worry about waiting lists, money or keeping roofs over their heads, nor be resting in the most beautiful places in the world in peace.

Watching them cry like that just because she's a royal is so bizzare. And saying "shes still thinking of others" she didn't write this herself and she has to say that because of how strange the public is.

She deserves peace and recovery but she is just a person like the rest of us - the world will be bending over backwards to make sure every ounce of care she recieves is the best you can find in the world.

I understand your point of view but what makes you think they cried because she’s a royal?

Personally, hearing anyone talk about their cancer diagnosis and road to recovery absolutely destroys me. It’s the most evil and unfair illness and nobody deserves it.
Like Shirley said, she’s a mother to young children..

This is more annoying than any of the other comments on it tbh, she’s also just a person herself, someone isn't more deserving of sympathy because they have young children

I don’t care if they watch news stories on Gogglebox but it pisses me off when they all act shocked and like this is the first time they’re hearing about it 🤦‍♀️

I like the new couple so far. I think they could be quite sort of witty. Have they replaced the mother and son ?

Ooh were the mother and son in it? I have literally no recollection of them but that doesn't mean a thing tbh 😂
I still love Ronnie and Annie.
This will not translate but I do a very good impersonation of them even though I do say so myself 😂
Annie 'Ronnie you silly bugger'
Ronnie, through tight lips, 'alright girl'

My husband laughs but he is contractually obliged to so that doesn't mean much.
 
In fairness I've recently rewatched the first 3 series, they did big news segments even then and pretend to be shocked.
Only thing that has really changed is our lovely Caroline Aherne is gone and it's now an hour show when it was originally 30 minutes
Even Steph and Dom in a rewatch where acting up only the siddiquis remain true.

There are loads of people who will cry / cry more than normal because it's a royal. E.g Mary
 
Enjoyed it overall last night.

Amira and Amani have really come into their own now. They are getting more screen time of late, which is great as they are very entertaining. Ellie and Izzi seemed to engage a bit more with what they were watching which was a slight improvement. I still muted the tv for most of their contributions. I don't want to hear any more about their aunties, imaginary or otherwise.

Good to see new recruits and I hope that they settle in well.

If their aunts are real I’m surprised they still see them! If people were having (less than favourable) conversations about me on national tv every week I’d stop seeing them so they didn’t have anything to say!

Also wish they’d stop repeating words over and over in the conversation. Eg

I want a spam sandwich

I had a spam sandwich for breakfast. I went to aunty Jane’s and she was in a mood and I said to her you know what would cheer you up? A spam sandwich. And I’d already had a spam sandwich for breakfast because I’d been craving a spam sandwich and when I woke up I said you know what I want for breakfast? A spam sandwich, so I made a spam sandwich but then to cheer aunty Jane up I had another spam sandwich. And guess what I fancy for dinner?

A SPAM SANDWICH!

Oh do you remember 'bouquet garni' a few weeks ago? They said it so many times it lost all meaning.
