Her confidence on presenting is smashed because of a 'sustained campaign', but she is still confident enough to present some badly painted tins (that were poorly rinsed btw) that she knocked a few holes in with a nail as candleholders. I doubt there is anything wrong with her confidene

Is Jack not doing anymore TV projects because

1. She undercooked some pasta and lost her slot.
2. She decided to take a break from TV shows for a while.
3. She's experiencing a sustained campaign of bullying and harassment.
4. She bolloxed up the opportunities she got because she's not very good and known to be difficult to work with.

Place your bets!

I can't choose just one so I will pop them all in to the slow cooker with some tinned passionfuit and a pinch of self pity.

They stopped her presenting food programmes because she can't cook or present. They only thing she is good at on telly is telling the poverty story.

But she can't even keep her own story straight!! So nope, can't even tell her poverty story competently either!!

Plus, the new chef on TM is a young black guy. A bit like Alex tbf, shouldn't Jack be happy someone in the BAME community took her job?!

Erm.. how does one over the age of about 12 undercook pasta, how embarrassing!!

I wouldn't admit that to anyone personally.

I lived with my best friend for a while in my late teens and we witnessed the aftermath of her boyfriend and his mate putting spaghetti in the pan, putting the pan on the hob, and then leaving until the smoke alarm went off. They were both legitimately shocked that it required water.

Of course they weren't claiming to be chefs or TV presenters or even capable cooks! Thank god.

The thing is, she could have easily used her shed kitchen and filmed little tik toks and youtube videos over lockdown and made a name for herself. That however, would have been waaaaaay too much work and responsibility for the smol pixie. But yes Jack, it's because of bullying and Piers Morgan that prevented you doing this :rolleyes:

Didn't she once say she couldn't possibly do YT because she is far too busy.....

Imagine wanting a career and there being a really obvious and simple way to boost it if you have the skills, but choosing not to take that option.
Imagine claiming lack of confidence yet still being brave enough to undertake huge brand deals!

I cant even.....
