Patsy alluded to some familiar Hopkins bigotry in the live interview but they've been very kind to her in the edits - none of this 'people from the north of England are stupid and thick' opinion she pretends to have. She's been saying it, but they've not been showing it.
It all comes down to money - why would they risk losing their Ģ400k investment?
