Is she purposely acting up (or down lol) in the hope to have similar shows to Joey .... Such as Educating ......
Im wondering if its all a ploy to get more TV deals like he has with the whole unable to tell the time

Joey Essex is celebrated for being a dumb ass and Charlotte Crosby for being a bed wetter, wouldn't blame anyone for thinking that's the way forward.

This not knowing the alphabet and Confusion over geometric shapes is frightening. Is it just a joke?

I mean this woman is running a home ffs. That way she speaks just staring blankly and the monotone voice clearly isn't just the result of plastic surgery.

This is my thinking as well. Its no secret she needs the money so maybe thats the plan.
People seem to like Joey (i am a fan because he makes me laugh in a good way) but im wondering if she is purposely trying to come across like him in the hope she will have similar success.

I really don't think so.

With Joey Essex you can see he often says things for a reaction and plays it for laughs.

Alicia seems completely unaware of a lot of things she's saying, plus she often makes some astute observations (like Katie H trying to use the alphabet thing against her) that wouldn't gel with that image.

If it's an act, the woman is an incredible actress. She'd make better money from that than a thick act!!

Like Joey, but without all his redeeming qualities. So basically she's just dim.

what redeeming qualities did joey essex have?

Sense of humour, kind to others, always interested in new things, generally sweet person

I totally agree. The boy has not had it easy at all growing up and i wouldnt wish what he went through on anyone. I like anyone who makes me laugh in a good way and he does that
He is harmless and isnt like a lot of people in the media who goes around spouting bile against other people. That in itself is a rare thing these days.

About Katie H Alicia says "she wears tan tights with sandals and I think that's criminal" fab!

I don't celebrated is the right word.

Paid is more like it lol.

To be fair... That could be a description of Alicia too!

I don't think she is anything like Joey - she had a private education and is still stupid. Joey didn't have much education as his mother died when he was quite young and he rarely went to school.

So it is OK if Alicia says something nasty about someone but if Katie does it she is the devil incarnate. This forum does make me smile sometimes
