I know everyone here is a fan of Jonny but I know if I had have been in the house and Kate my mum would have been a bit worried about me continuing a friendship with Jonny because of the drinking sessions that happened. Even today Kate told the public she had been told off by her mum because she drank too much. He may wish to continue a friendship with her but I don't think it will be as close. The other thing you have to consider is that he has said he fancied her and if you were Joanne would you want him to spend time with Kate. ”
Did any of you actually watch the GMTV interview that this thread is supposed to be about?!
Kate's mum did indeed say she thought Kate was drinking a bit too much, and there was a freindly little disagrement between mother and daughter which was really sweet. Mrs Lawler then went on to say that she thought the papers were blowing "that" night out of all proportion, as there was no way (or words to that effect) that BB wouldn't have intervened if Kate really was unconscious and her lips were going blue.
Kate said that she was very drunk and was sick, but it was not half as bad as people think. They were all quite chirpy about it.
The interviewer than asked Mr Lawler if he felt that Jonny should have looked after Kate more that night, and he said that he had no bad feelings towards Jonny, that Jonny himself had obviously drunk too much and that all the press reports making out that he was trying to take advantage of Kate were rubbish.
Mr Lawler certainly looks like a man who is very protective of his daughter, yet he said he doesn't blame Jonny for any of the drunken antics and that he wanted him to win if Kate didn't.
I think that says it all.
And for the record, Jonny's fiance has said that "Kate was brilliant. I wasn't jealous about how she and Jonny got on".
I'm sure they're going to remain great friends.
