On another thread I claimed that Natalie Cassidy had a touch of 'Craig Kelly Syndrome'. An unfortunate affliction where the sufferer thinks they are so much better at something than they actually are.

Other signs of this syndrome are: gurning faces, continual complaints regarding low scores or 'unfair' treatment and a penchant for bad outfits.

This syndrome is notoriously difficult to treat and there is a danger that some unqualified 'professional' may try to take the sufferer into hand. A classic example is Ms A Dixon, who failed time and time again to penetrate the rhino-thick skin of the eponymous syndrome sufferer, Mr C Kelly.

This is usually seen when the unqualified professional suffers with the same affliction.

Common side effects are: Uncomfortable silences and a fixed grin on the faces of those forced to work with CK Syndrome Sufferers.

This syndrome is not exclusive to SCD, but it is rife in BBC Central and awareness needs to be raised in order to research appropriate and effective treatment before the sufferers are unleashed into the real world and try to get onto 'Im a Celeb'.

Early detection is key to treatment currently, Im in the process of creating a database of sufferers to present to BBC bosses. Known sufferers are:

Craig Kelly
Natalie Cassidy,
Johh Sargent
Alesha Dixon
The SCD Cameramen

I beg of you, please tell me who you think suffers with this syndrome, for their own good!

How about the lovely Tess?

Ooooh, good un!

And Gary Rhodes!

The Dave Arch Stranglers and the costume department.

However it is such a luvvie-ethos that it's no wonder they think they are gods.

Claudia always says"Oh, that dress. It looks so high-end couture, doesn't it?"

No, Claudia. Not unless you shop exclusively at Ann Summers.

Jan Ravens this is fun

Am I allowed to mention "I'm just a man's man from Yorkshire" here at all?

I get the impression Ricky Groves thinks he's better than he actually is.....

Of course you are!


Absolutely! Couldn't agree more!

Not as good as he once was - B Forsyth

Hilary whatserface - the 'fashionista' who comments on the dresses on ITT.

Hilary Alexander.
When she had those green hair-bits in.
Claudia thought she was doing it for Halloween but I am pretty sure it was just Hilary's idea of cool hair.

Eeek. If she knows much about fashion then I'm a monkey's uncle.

She's the one who obviously hasn't looked in a mirror for years - or if she has then her eyesight's going.

The hair and make-up people

Headed by Ant McPartlin's wife no less!

... he wasn't a sufferer. He KNEW he was rubbish!

Definitely, and her husband too.

What about the camerman with the handheld camera - the one with St Vitus Dance?

Ah, havent heard that since my med school finals!

I was going to say that. He never suffered from CK Syndrome.

Excellent! I'm looking forward to seeing how well, or otherwise, she does tonight .

Just wondering who is this?

Is it DG?

Anton Du Beke - presenter and Latin American expert.

Suffers from CKS:

Natalie Cassidy
Craig Kelly
Tess Daly
Alesha Dixon
Ricky Groves
The Costume Department - especially those responsible for Natalie Cassidy's dresses and the designer they hired from "Strictly Anne Summers"
Jan Ravens
Bruce Forsythe
Bruno Tonioli


Of course, I do feel sorry for the luvvies because they work in an industry when everything is "dah-ling you were wonderful", "mwah mwah" "kiss, kiss" . The cure, however hard it may be, is to send the "show" to The Batley Working Man's Club or invite its members to be the whole audience at TV Centre on a Saturday night - an effective remedy.

Alesha (bless her)
Bruno (bless him)
Craig (bless him)
The Groper (Not bless him)

None other!

Actually, I'd like to add the uber-competitive Logan (G) to the list please. I'd sort of like Bunton (E) to be added, but that's personal dislike as opposed to dillusional, so lets leave her off and keep with the spirit of the thread
