Indeed, although, to be fair, Nigella has always been beautiful. Gillian has not been naturally favoured in the looks department

Gillian needs some of her Wild Pink Yam or Horny Goat Weed supplement - pity it was taken off the market due to being illegal.

From Ben Goldacre writing in the Guardian in 2007:
Three months ago she was censured by the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) for illegally selling a rather tragic range of herbal sex pills called Fast Formula Horny Goat Weed Complex, advertised as shown by a "controlled study" to promote sexual satisfaction, and sold with explicit medicinal claims. She was ordered to remove the products from sale immediately. She complied - the alternative would have been prosecution - but in response, McKeith's website announced that the sex pills had been withdrawn because of "the new EU licensing laws regarding herbal products". She engaged in Europhobic banter with the Scottish Herald newspaper: "EU bureaucrats are clearly concerned that people in the UK are having too much good sex," she explained.

Rubbish. I contacted the MHRA, and they said: "This has nothing to do with new EU regulations. The information on the McKeith website is incorrect." Was it a mistake? "Ms McKeith's organisation had already been made aware of the requirements of medicines legislation in previous years; there was no reason at all for all the products not to be compliant with the law." They go on. "The Wild Pink Yam and Horny Goat Weed products marketed by McKeith Research Ltd were never legal for sale in the UK."

Plus Nigella seems a happy grounded person who is comfortable in her own skin. Bitterness can really age you.

And has been through plenty of tragedies in her life but seems to use them as an incentive to live and enjoy life to the full because it's not a rehearsal.

ITV and the faker will be in a battle of wills...

if she is faking it all, the producers will just put her back in the camp and tell her to fore fill her contractual obligations. If they kick her out the camp they will have to pay her the full amount that her contract is for.

If she just walks, then she will only get part of her fee. I believe they get a % of her total fee based on how many days they have been in camp.

It looks to me like the production staffs are doing as much as they can in an underhanded way to inform the rest of the camp that they believe she is faking. None of the production staff are taking her nonsense serious and I don’t believe for one minute that they would risk a damages claim if they had any doubts. Look at the way they "grassed" on her to Dom Jolly for not doing the trial, and when she said that she couldn’t operate the machinery they piped up with the fact that she could...

Her carrier was nonexistent anyway, but after her fakery she will have no chance of employment after this farce...

I in no way condone bullying, but I don’t believe the camp is bullying her, or the viewers who vote for her to do the trials are bullying her. The contestants put themselves up for the tasks when they sign on the dotted line and we really do not have many pre-conceived ideas about the contestants. Yes, there will be favorites, but it takes very little time to squash or re-enforce those ideas. Personally I knew nothing of mcfake before the show started but didn’t take long for me to decide that she is not a nice person and would enjoy putting her through the whole wrath of what the jungle camp can throw at her (remembering she signed up for it).

Bullies don’t pick on people at random. They will have their own reasons for picking on a person, maybe they are too thin, too fat, have some form of disability or disfigurement. Sometimes it will be for other reasons like the name the parents chose for them. Maybe it’s the carrier choice or the choice of lifestyle the parents chose that highlights a person to the bullies... In this case, it is clear to me that Gillian’s daughter was bullied because of Gillian's 'work' and her personality. Not that I agree for one minute that it right to bully for any reason, but it’s a parents job to protect a child. And by going without yourself so your child can have the things that help them to fit in with the mainstream and not stand out to the bullies then that’s what you do.

Really? I reckon Gillian's knocked 20 years off her age as she looks much older than 51 and far too old looking to get pregnant!!!

Her youngest child is ten.

If she really had serious health problems she would have been removed from the jungle, paid in full and sent home.

Or if she was not quite bad enough to be sent home the producers would not be allowing Ant, Dec, Caroline Flack and all the rest to make jokes about her fakery.

I'm sure I remember someone mentioning her hearing voices....was it Lembit on ITV2....It's definitely been alluded to - but not the pregnancy part.

Didn't he say that in the Bush Telegraph as part of a long list of supposed ailments Gillian had, some of which were meant as a joke? I'm sure if she'd claimed to be hearing voices the producers would have had her out of the camp like a shot.

If she had any genuine health issues, she wouldn't still be there, they couldn't risk it. It just goes to show she's making it all up.

Surely they all have psychological screening too? I doubt that anyone with genuine phobias would be accepted.

Exactly, they're not stupid. She is though thinking we are all going to fall for her lies.

I hope they didn't - they'd be scarred for life!

Call Dr. Bob!

In that story it said she was joking, a bit OT by sun.

Anyway she wont be doing anymore trials before the 1st vote off and if survives her camp mates will want to do them anyway.

Its good to see Stacey and Aggro do Super Scario it will be a lot better watching them

That's what I thought. I mean, come on, we're not THAT gullible.

I hate people who say this..... but OMG!

I can imagine it though....and that's scary enough!!

OMG! now stands for Oh Machiavellian Gillian!"

Can we have a task where she does a pregnancy test?

She has a phobia of White sticks, wee and blue lines...

She did mention this didn't she?...

They could always get a helpful spider to hold the stick.

That's a shame, since her husband clearly has a white stick.

perhaps oxygen was not the only thing he was adminstering.
