Daily Star Sunday

We Shore are classy ladies!

- ■ EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW by PHIL BURKETT ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

CARTOON legends and all round “babes” The Fat Slags have urged I’m A Celebrity bosses to put them in the jungle next year.

Viz comic’s Sandra and Tracey reckon they would be perfect for life in the bush as they’re up for anything.

In an exclusive chat with the Daily Star Sunday, the chips-loving pair also revealed they were rejected by Geordie Shore because they were “too classy” for the MTV show.

Sit back and enjoy our chat with the gruesome twosome, who feature in this year’s bumper Viz annual – The Jester’s Shoes.

I’ve not seen that show, San. What happens in it?

People have to put horrible things in their mouths and try their best not to gag, Tray.

Oh, right. Like at home when Baz and Dave come round.

Yes, well, we did an audition for the first series, didn’t we Tray?

We did, and the casting director said to us, he said, ‘You’re drunk, you’re promiscuou­s, every other word you say is a swear word.

‘But I’m afraid we’ve decided to go for a more downmarket set of housemates’.

We was too classy for Geordie Shore.

We don’t like to talk about our recording career with Stock, Aitken and Waterman, do we, San?

No, it were a very frustratin­g experience. Our single got held off the number one spot by Rhythm is a Dancer by Snap!

And about 200 other records.

To be fair, singing wasn’t really our forte. If we went on one of them TV talent shows, we’d have to be doing something we was actually good at.

Mind, I don’t think they’d be able to show that before the watershed, San.

No, but we’ve made a few lewd and sexual comments to our favourite celebritie­s, haven’t we Tray? She used to stalk Phillip Schofield outside the This Morning studios.

I did. Some of the stuff I’ve shouted at him over the years, well, it would turn your hair white.

It turned his hair white, didn’t it, Tray?

It did, yes.

S: Baz wanted to send some pictures of us into one of them specialist top shelf magazines, didn’t he Tray?

He did, yeah. But then the photobooth fell over.

We was both banned from the post office for six months after that.

Baz and Dave are coming round for their dinner. It’s going to be a proper roast turkey with all the trimmings – you know, carrots, sprouts, roasties, Yorkshire puddings, gravy… Plenty of stuffing? Not on a full stomach, Tray. We’ll probably wait till after the Queen’s speech. Chris Jacks bombarded Charlotte Cooper with texts and phone calls and messaged her on social media, a court was told.

The 32-year-old – who was an unpopular figure on the Channel 4 show – then turned up at Ms Cooper’s home after their fivemonth relationsh­ip ended, begging to be taken back.

Jacks also called and texted her almost

100 times in five days.

Last week he admitted harassment and was given an 18-week jail sentence, suspended for a year.

The court heard Ms Cooper, an air hostess, got pregnant not long into the relationsh­ip but had an abortion because of Jacks’ controllin­g and verbally abusive nature.

In one day he called her 57 times from nine different numbers and also left 19 voicemails.

Melissa Garner, prosecutin­g, told magistrate­s in Uxbridge, west London, Jacks and Ms Cooper were in a relationsh­ip which ended in September.

She said: “She was then contacted by the defendant in a number of phone calls, some were recorded.

“Some were threatenin­g about an acid attack.”

Magistrate­s heard Jacks was verbally abusive during his time with Ms Cooper. A statement by his ex read to the court said: “I believed he was threatenin­g he was going to attack me with acid and I believed he would carry it out.

“He was unpredicta­ble and makes me scared.”

The court heard he had no previous history of similar offences but had conviction­s for theft and possession of cannabis, cocaine and heroin between 1999 and 2004.

In addition to his suspended sentence, Jacks, of Camden, north London, was ordered to do 80 hours unpaid work. He was also banned from contacting Ms Cooper directly or indirectly for five years.

After being jailed for three months in 2004 he decided to turn his life around. He learned to sail and completed a solo round Britain trip. He appeared on Channel 4’s Mutiny earlier this year as a member of the nine-strong crew who sailed 3,600 miles across the Pacific in a

23ft wooden boat, recreating the 1789 voyage of Capt William Bligh after the infamous Mutiny on the Bounty.

But Jacks was a divisive figure who clashed with other members of the crew.

Fans of the show described the Scouser on social media as “lazy, narcissist­ic and spoilt” and he eventually left the show.

On Twitter, Jacks describes himself as a “sailor, hiker, angler”. He works at a hotel in central London but is lining up a new show on the Discovery Channel.

The C4 documentar­y was led by former SBS member Ant Middleton who found fame as the lead instructor in the reality show SAS: Who Dare Wins.
