Normally every year she appears 1-2 times a series, yet she wasn't on the panel once this year

Because she is vile?

I think that she is more interested in the fame and attention side of the show than any previous contestant could ever be accused of being.

Never have and never will be a fan of her, and the less airtime she gets on national tv the better.

Probably peeved she didn't get Margaret's job or asked to fill Karren's shoes.

I'm glad she wasn't on. She talked a lot of rubbish.

I missed Mary Portas, she always spoke sense.
