See what happens when you watch and turn folk into celebs ? Still if they "earn" enough from TV maybe they'll get off welfare.

There are times when I consider clearing off to the west coast of Ireland and living the life of a hermitess....Well, with the occasional foray into the town at opening time.....

Reading that article is one of those times.....a crazy world indeed....I'll give News Night a miss I think.

[shoota]

Hang on - I'm coming with you.....

[pusskin]

Cheers Eccles, and theres me thinking it was on BBC1.
many thanks, will be watching it!

[gness]

Can hermits be a couple? Though why I should start worrying about conforming in a mad world is beyond me.....pack your smalls, Shoota....x

[silliemillie]

She has a Manager??!!

[hc4361]

What is it with us British folk that despising talented people who have become successful (eg David Beckham) and idolising people like White Dee and Jade Goody is the acceptable norm?

I just don't get it.

[pusskin]

Yes a Manager, unbelievable ay milly.

[ummmm]

What else is she suppose to do?

[Mamyalynne]

I don't see Dee as being idolised, from what I have read, pilloried is more like it, re the manager, bet there is dosh in it for him.

[tamborine]

If Dee is still housed by DHSS its time to withhold my tax payments.

[Mamyalynne]

You can bet your boots that Barry Tomes approached her and not the other way round, his days of rubbing shoulders with world famous stars are but a distant memory.

[Mamyalynne]

Tambo, that is your choice, if she is not entitled to her money they will stop it - they even do that when you are entitled trust me.

[zebo]

I never wasted time watching Scroungers' Alley, or whatever it was called, but this specimen seems to be everywhere. Is there any reason why she can't work or is she too busy being a Z-list "celeb"?

[ummmm]

She suffers with depression.

[hc4361]

And she has a criminal record for stealing £13k from her previous employer, Birmingham City Council. I wouldn't employ her.

[Mamyalynne]

Still quite amazed you think she is being idolised.

[carolegif]

If she can Sean around TV studios then she is fit enough to work!

'Swan' damned predictive text!
