Of the two reasons for becoming famous- marrying a sportsman or being instrumental in helping a sportsman get to the top of his profession- I prefer the latter.”
You have a point re Abbey, though she'd also done some low level TV presenting and had a fashion slot on This Morning. However, I'm still reeling from Series 6 where, in Strictly's world, Lisa Snowden (Special K and Lynx deodorant) was a 'supermodel' and Jodie Kidd (haute couture for Chanel, Valentino, Givenchy, Balmain and St Laurent) was a mere 'model'.
