I know someone who shagged him years ago, pre-fame. If only he could have tweeted about it at the time!
nobody ever tweets Jack, do they? No “thanks for helping out my mate P with her benefits application the other month” is there?

What a small, small world. I knew someone who houseshared with Alan when he lived in Chorlton. I doubt they had a shag, but can't be certain. I'm sure Jack would make up some hilarious anecdotes about their time together if she houseshared with anyone famous.

All I can say is, that accent wasn't half as pronounced as it is on TV, he has honed it to perfection.

As is often the case, Jack accidentally reveals that her lies about her past are influenced more by trashy crime novels and 90s Hollywood than by actual truth: 'hooker' is primarily US slang. Yes we in the UK know what it means. But it's not the most obvious slang term that a Brit would reach for in an emotional conversation with their OH.

I still cannot believe they admitted they were worried enough about her to get her former girlfriend (presumably LJC) to ring her, had her turn up and say she’d slept through it all and then cried all the way there and yet still went ahead with the shoot and interview well into the night.

And I can’t believe Jack was stupid enough that she decided to go with “Simon and me are mates innit” and not leap on the massive opportunity the Guardian handed her to say they’d taken advantage of her. Safeguarding, what safeguarding, what’s next, we got the police out to do a welfare check then conducted the interview anyway??

(She’s an absolute bleep but that’s not how an allegedly reputable paper should be conducting photoshoots and interviews, that is Sun level behaviour.)

ETA: and I know the excuse given for them is it will have been a short deadline to publication etc but it doesn’t wash with me still, they must have some sort of plan B for any interview, never mind a self confessed alcoholic who is unreliable, what happens if the person they’re going to interview has a stroke the day before or is in a car accident?

I'm actually more offended that working people (the driver) got their time wasted like this. That driver has other jobs after Jack and he has to lose jobs and seem unreliable because he's waiting around for that lazy arse? I despise people who treat service workers like tit. It reveals so much about them.

Also, how many interviewees get a pick up for their photoshoot? Unless you're A list, you'd be responsible for making your own way no?

As to the pic itself....well. You can tell by her face that she's trying to look serious and somber and penitent and touched by sorrow, but inside is ~fizzing~ because she thinks it's a nekkid sexxaaay shot. Not realising that it's actually a visual hatchet job. The sheer lack of self awareness bespeaks an arrogance the size of Jupiter.

Brilliant 😎

Regarding diligence: wasn’t it fairly recently that a frau contacted Oxfam to ask if guest was still an ambassador (as stated on their website? she’d not worked with them since Tanzania in 2017?) and got a crappy, mealy reply about how if its on there it’s accurate?
 
Can't believe you guys are struggling with the quarterhack so much. It's very simple. Before popping to the shops for a carton of almond milk, you write down absolutely everything in your kitchen, realise too many items like beans and lentils go into protein, carbs and fruit/veg, is flour a sundry or carb, is pea protein powder a sundry or protein etc, then your spice rack and condiments take up half the page anyway and your partner is almost late to work as he's insisting you add everything that's in multiple categories multiple times and you should 'do it right, make the page black'. Finally, give up after 40 minutes of meticulous documenting, write a few bits from memory so it doesn't look like you have no food and forget what you needed to begin with. Simple.
