Everything she says about her autism “diagnosis” suggests she did a questionnaire on the internet. It doesn’t sound like anyone with actual medical qualifications was involved. (You certainly don’t get this sort of diagnosis from a GP.)

My son is 4 and has been diagnosed with autism. I didn’t know that much about it until we started to suspect my son might be on the spectrum and from what I have learned, I think I have some traits. I’m not going about telling people that I am autistic. The argument is we’re all somewhere on the vast spectrum. IMO it’s just another self-serving bandwagon for her to jump on

She's making a studio in her she'd she's basically said as much in her Twitter. I just hope she have her fire safety certificate at the ready. Old rotten wood doesn't sound good around a flame.


Yes that looks completely safe to have a gas cooker in..???

She also thinks that cooking garlic in your microwave is fine, although it might catch fire. Her dad must be cringing.

She may be using like a camping stove with camping cannisters still it's a massive fire hazard. If I knew her in real life if report her to the fire service to ensure safe measures are being used. I am actually concerned.

The thing is, a lot of her Twatters hang on every word, so what she does, they will do. Therein lies the problem..

Correct in that thinking. Self-diagnosis via google. Her numerous illness and diagnosis is remarkable.

They got engaged last year, Jack proposed apparently.

It makes me feel a bit sad for her (and her son) because she was engaged to a police officer in another article I read about her. That's at least two broken engagements before this engagement/secret marriage/whatever it is, plus the baby daddy thing, in ten years. The Allegra thing must have been awful as they both had children, were living together and being gushed over as an example of the kind of unparalleled True Love that made journos despair of their own relationships.
 
Maybe it is a gardening show? Jack will show us we can all grow bottles of lemon juice and tinned peaches ourselves.

I could have bet a hundred quid this would happen, and won.

Yes someone has finally told her you cannot stick cheap spray paint over rotten wood and all will be well. It's a massive job, we have wooden windows at the back of our house and my husband as spent ours maintaining them as they were rotten.he could have just slapped alot of paint on them and said that will do but it would have made them safe or look good. To get the shed worthy enough for a work space will definitely cost her £££.

I am actually surprised at her partner for encouraging her to do it like this. I'd be making sure it had suitable work done to it,not only for her sake but judging from the pictures it's not far from the house so if it did blow up catch fire it could get to the house.

I wonder if her fans will top the to top jar to pay for the shed. Can't see anyone putting that kind of effort into doing up a shed on a rented crappy bungalow. With her history of moving I wonder what the actual point it is. Maybe she owns the house? Not saying you do Jack, just thinking out loud.

She may well do as from what I've seen its looks costly. I am no expert on these things but my husband works in trade as a painter and I am always amazed and how something like that she'd looks like a quick fixer upper but actually turns into a costly investment. She's definitely jumped before checking this time. It's not only the inside space she has to worry about but also foundations to it. It looks pretty old so is it stable. She doesn't want to be microwaving her to onions for pine apple risotto and the roof caves in.

She also mentioned having a garage. But they have no cars, so call me sceptical but I am leaning towards she owns the place. No one renting puts that
cost into creating whatever she is creating.
 
The whole of it still screams mania to me. Moving everything into a garage and spending all day doing it to only move it to a shed a few weeks later? 3 hours sleep? None of this seems right. Also, no expert on sheds but doesn't look like those bookcases will last long in there. I've had an IKEA bookcase rot inside a damp property let alone a shed.

She really thinks she's some sort of food pioneer/Messiah. "The cheeseburger mac and cheese fell out of my box of secrets". Jack, I've just googled "cheeseburger mac and cheese" and got 94.5m results.

I wonder if she will copyright it?

Gawd she tweeted about getting out of bed to look up making bang bang noodles at one in the morning without waking her ‘spouse’ - she’s desperate to be married and desperate to be noticed.

Anyone marrying Jack needs to have a solid airtight prenup. Not suggesting anything except it is common sense.

Yup. Same here. I have wooden windows in my lean to. My partner (who is good at that sort of thing) spent days cutting out all the damp wood, putting in new good wood*, filling*, sanding*, priming* and then finally painting*

*Probably, I may have only been listening with 1/2 an ear.

It is, ahem, uncomfortably familiar to me, as someone with a similar condition. Not diagnosing on the internet m'lud. Merely pointing out a parallel.

Ah the super human strength of mania, where I was able to carry wingback armchairs like they were a small child.
Good times. Good times. 😂

This is so true. She's on some sort of manic high after Daily Kitchen. It's very uncomfortable to watch. Who looks after her son during these episodes (not being sexist, just the fact she is up all hours and is his primary carer)?
