I know Johnny is supposed to be a fireman but from what I've seen over the course of the weeks, I havn't really seen anything to back this up in any real way.

The only time I saw the HM's speak about it to him was in the garden one day. They were asking him about Backdrafts etc.

His responses seemed to be from someone who really didn't know what he was talking about.

Wouldn't he be entertaining the whole group about loads of stories from his job? It's one of the most interesting jobs out there.

Or have I just missed it?

good god! ... have you ever stoped to think just what a fireman goes through in a days work?? there is nothing entertaining about it .

My husband is an Ex fireman and my brother in law is a fireman and the things that fireman see are not for entertainment value .

But yes you must have missed it because he has spoken at length about his job and he's collegues

Thats what I wanted to know.

I wasn't dissing the role of a fireman in any way. I was pointing the fact out it is a very interesting job compared to that of a bank worker for instance, so I thought I would have seen more of it mentioned.

Also surely it would be very difficult to lie about being a fireman. Someone somewhere would have spilled the beans to the press by now if it was all make believe. His family have been on telly enough times by now & I don't think he would wan't to make fools of them either by lying. Hes probably seen some disturbing things in his life as well, and might not want to talk about them on a game show.

Have you not noticed as well his little fire safety obsessions - like when they had the observation test to bring the bars down the first thing he thought to make sure the others had noticed was the number and location of the fire exits.

There have been a number of these little things.

There is someone else on this forum that knows his dad I think and can confirm he is a fireman - look in the is jonny an actor conspiracy thread

I never said he wasn't a Fireman. I just didn't get the impression from what I saw that's what he did full time.

Being a Fireman isn't all doom and gloom. They do save lives as well. Those are the stories I expected to hear.

I'm not going to pretend I can comprehend the horrors they see week in and week out but there is that other side to it.

Lots of rescued cats etc

Perhaps I'm just subject to C4 editing again.
