Hunt missus his chance to shine as Foreign Secretary
SO Jeremy Hunt made a right mess of it this week. He got mixed up between China and Japan when talking about his wife. Is it true? Sounds to me like a case of Japanese whispers.
Come on, even Boris Johnson wouldn’t make that mistake when talking about his wife. To do that you’d have to remember you were married first. Don’t worry though, Jeremy did try his best to apologise with a bowl of Chinese sushi followed by a bit of Sumo wrestling.
On the upside, his job as Foreign Secretary involves him developing relationships abroad. Surely he’s a stickon for the next series of Love Island. That’s finally finished now. Honestly, it went on so long they had to send in cave divers from Thailand to rescue the contestants. The series lasted a total of eight weeks. Or if you’re Caroline Flack, two engagements and a divorce.
The Love Island finalists were actually stopped from flying back to the UK on time by delays at Majorca airport. Apparently the computerised passport system didn’t recognise any of them. A feeling they’ll also experience from the general public in about two months time.
They may have bumped into singer Peter Gabriel, who was raging after many foreign musicians were unable to perform at his Womad world music festival because of visa problems. Several performers started banging the arrivals desk in frustration. It’s not all bad. They did record the perfect backing track for a new album.
But back to Love Island. Four couples battled it out to be crowned king and queen of the villa, with Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham finally taking the crown. What a fantastic achievement. Six days after the show’s finished and they’re still together. Proper loyal.
It’s been claimed that the winners of
THE Brownies have launched an aviation badge as part of a new campaign to encourage more women to become pilots. Nice one. Although if you want to really feel like you’re flying, there is a much quicker alternative.
The Hash Brownies.
Love Island could make a million quid each off the back of their success. Though with the pound tanking against the euro, they’ll probably need most of it for their holiday to Majorca next year.
As for the losers, Doctor Alex admitted being gutted about not finding a partner on the show. On the plus side, he’s now set to make even more money than Jack and Dani. From treating all the other contestants for their STI’s.
Which brings us back to Hunt and the wee irritating problem he’s brought home from his travels. A kamikaze mission that could have a very unhappy ending. Aye, he might end up getting the Des col saké. ●THE new series of Celebrity Big Brother, with the title Eye of the Storm, will kick off a week on Thursday on Channel 5. The logo this year will see the famous eye squinting, as it tries to work out who the hell the people are that are on it. ●US rapper Kendrick has made his TV acting debut as a homeless man in an episode of Power. Kendrick was delighted as producers were looking to cast a musician that looked like a jaikie. And Ed Sheeran obviously wisnae available. ●THIEVES have been caught on CCTV climbing an 8ft wall to steal antiques from the home of a millionaire entrepreneur in Gloucestershire. I can’t help thinking these new episodes of Bargain Hunt are going a bit too far these days.
