Good on Jo for Sorry, Nigel’ Show for good and bad times
THE BBC has ruled that t Jo Brand’s gag about pouring battery tery acid on Nigel Farage “went beyond yond what was appropriate”. e”.
Jo went too far and was right to say sorry rry but we should not crucify cify her for it. Everyone in the he public eye slips up sometimes imes and lots of people are desperate rate to be offended. She can’t do more than apologise – let’s move on. n. LOOSE Women turns 20 this week. Can you believe it? I feel like I’ve lived my whole life through the show.
When the programme started, my first marriage had just broken down.
Since then I’ve got married and divorced again, had my daughter Ciara and lost my sister Bernie to cancer.
I’ve also suffered the agony of finding out my sister Linda was suffering from the disease. Thankfully she’s doing well at the moment – she’s a real inspiration and a tower of strength.
To me, Loose Women is like a family, one which has been with me through the good times and the bad.
I’ve always said I’ll pack it in if I win the lottery, but now I’m not so sure. POOR PO Coleen Rooney was picturedpi without her wedding we ring again this week wee after photos emerged of husban husband Wayne with a mystery brunette brunetteo on a bender in Vancouver.
Since he shot to fame in 2002, they have been dogged by rumours of his cheating.
But eve every time Wayne is snapped wi with another woman, Coleen takes tak him back.
This tim time seems no different. By Thursday, Coleen’s rin ring was back on and the Rooneys R were presenting a united u front.
As someone someon who has gone through two ve very public divorces, I don’t think we should be too quick to judge her for being so forgiving.
Break-ups are ar hellish. But when you’re in the public e eye, they’re a million times worse, with ev every Tom, Dick and Harry speculating abo about what went wrong.
None of us know what Coleen and Wayne’s relatio relationship is like behind closed doors. They’ve been together since they were teenagers – muddling through his rise to stardom together togeth – and she probably finds it hard to imagine life without him. They have four boys and Coleen is probably keen to keep the family unit together.
But if she was my daughter I’d sit her down for a very frank discussion.
My first marriage ended because of cheating. Some older women, wed for decades, advised me to turn a blind eye to the infidelity. They reasoned that if a man is a good husband when he’s at home, you shouldn’t bother about what he does when he’s away.
I’m afraid I’m just not that kind of woman. It’s hard to keep a relationship going without trust. Now every time Wayne pops to the corner shop Coleen will be wondering what he’s doing. If he’s pictured with another woman, even if it’s innocent, her head will be in a spin.
Maybe she’s holding out hope that he’s eventually going to grow up. But, from where I’m sitting, this is looking unlikely.
Coleen is a beautiful woman, a great mum and her business ventures prove she can stand on her own two feet.
From one Coleen to another, I’d say: Is this marriage really making you happy?
And if the answer is no, it’s time to do what pleases you for a change.
