Relugus, you did not give us an excerpt of Peter VCooke's phone calls!



On Monday night's show, Kate played 'In my place' by Coldplay, and said at the end of it "everytime I hear that song I have tears in my eyes" , pause, then: "as we all know"
ooohh! naughty.

Kate did not handle the woman very well at first, she made it sound as though she HAD been slagging Alex off 'the whole time since leaving the house' as the woman had suggested, the way Kate responded by, at first, arguing about it as if she had,
then citing reasons (as if she had done,) by quoting how Alex had behaved because of him being sore at losing!!!

Never mind, it's all good fun and Im enjoying the show big time.
It's soooo EEEEdddggyyyy when you take into account all the possibles!!!

There were two interesting songs back to back after the first play of coldplay on Sunday night, three very interesting in a row
songs, ITS OK, IM not going down that road!!!! ha ha ha.

Peter Cook's LBC pranks took place in the mid-1980's, when I was in my early teens.
I have no tape's of the incident's on Clive Bull's late-night radio show, but I think there may be stuff on the internet.
I'll go have a look.


I have no doubt that Kate's performance on Capital will lead to plenty of offers. As has been suggested, Kate may well be the long-term success of BB3.
We could see her career steadily develop over the months and years.
Considering Sara Cox has lost 700,000 listeners, perhaps Radio 1 should pay attention?

I think Kate's found her niche in the media at last. I didn't think she had the face for tv or even modelling but she's good on the radio and she's getting better. For someone who hasn't ever done it before last Sunday, she's very good.

It was good to hear Jade call in last night. It all seemed rather friendly and comfortable so I guess there's no problem there then. And this is the second time Kate's tried to call Jonny and he hasn't answered his phone. Just where is he? And with Spencer popping up so often, is it safe to say these two are a couple? From the sounds of it, playing cricket with her dad and spending so much time together it seems like it. Come to think of it, why on earth did they watch the Bourne Identity at ten in the morning? Is it a press thing I'm clueless about?

Enjoying the show as a whole. I hope she gets a permanent gig or something cos' I can't see her doing anything else.

FULL TRANSCRIPT OF KATE'S INTEVIEW IN THIS WEEKS OK! MAG


(Apologies for any typing errors!) Here goes :

********

Winning Big Brother can open many doors. Not only does the lucky housemate find themselves £70000 richer, but they are also given the opportunity to turn their hand to all manner of weird and wonderful experiences.

Kate Lawler, the gorgeous winner of BB3 jumped at the chance to join OK! And spend an eventful - and totally exhausting day - America's Cup Yacht sailing on the Solent, taking along two of her best friends, Emma Chard and Jo Oates. On this magnificent 76ft racing machine, which was specially built in 1995 and competed in the America's Cup in San Diego. Kate entered the spirit of things with the same gusto that saw her winning BB3. "Oh my God" when first confronted with the daunting prospect of taking control of the yacht - and after a very flirtatious briefing session with the six-man crew - Kate took the wheel for the day ...

Did you enjoy your sailing jaunt Kate?
I loved sailing. It was definitely one of my favourite experiences so far. I was a bit scared before, worried about getting seasick, but as soon as I took control of the wheel it was so much fun.

Do you see yourself enjoying life on the ocean wave?
I wouldn't mind sailing again, but I couldn't do it as a hobby as I'd end up chucking up all the time with seasickness! Every time we went downstairs to get changed, I kept having to pop my head up to look at the shoreline to stop from throwing up. If I could lay there in my bikini with my mates, letting the gorgeous sailors do all the work, then definitely.

Its been a few weeks since BB3. Are you over it yet?
I've had lots of time to chill. I never expected to get this much work & I've been going down the gym a lot to get my figure back for my holidays, so its pretty well balanced. I've had a few girly nights out and managed to catch up with all of my mates and family, but on the whole its been a top experience so far.

Did you find it weird to see yourself in the headlines?
It's strange, especially when my sister phones me and tells me the papers are having a go at me again. The other day I was on the train and some geezer asked my if I'd made any money, and I went "No I'm actually going to sign on soon mate" and the next day a paper had printed how I was whingeing about being skint and was heading for life on the dole. It's just ridiculous at time, but I don't take everything to heart.

What's been the most exciting thing to happen to you since BB3?
I did my 1st spot of tv presenting today for Living TV, and really enjoyed it. And I covering for Steve Penk on Capitol, for a whole week so I'm really excited. On my own as well, and its great doing Radio as at least you can go in looking like a tramp - that is, unless I'm interviewing some gorgeous pop star.

Have you watched any tapes of BB3 yet?
Oh yes, my parents taped everything. I thought it was so coo watching people being evicted - especially PJ. He really lapped it up and went for it like a real trooper. His was the best eviction so far, bar the last night obviously!
I was very shocked at what I saw going on. I couldn't believe how much Alex and Sandy were slating people - it was frightening. And Alex continues to slate me and doesn't want to know anybody from the BB experience. I think he's totally bitter that Jonny and myself beat him and he needs to get a grip. I don't want to have a pop at Alex but he's acting like a bit of a sore loser really.

Have you treated yourself to anything extravagant yet?
Yes, my house! I've bought a flat near my parents and it's all so exciting. It looks out over a lake with a huge balcony. Very s****y indeed. And yes, I've been to Gucci and splashed out on a gorgeous handbag and stuff.

Have you had a lot of male attention?
I met my oldest fan the other week- a stunner in his seventies. I was in Edinburgh doing a talk at the TV festival and this lovely bloke came up with an icecream and went "I voted for you. I knew you'd do it. Can I have your autograph please?" But I do get a lot of guys coming up which is hard when I'm out on a night with the girls. I get letters from blokes all over the country that say stuff like "You should win Rear of the Year, you've a cracking bum"

Your mates were photod flashing their derrieres on a night out...
They weren't my friends. Those girls weren't with us that night, as we met them at Attica and they came to Emporium with us. I'd actually left by the time they dropped their knickers and everyone wrote that it was my twin sister, which is bang out of order.

What about your celebrity BB fans? Have any of your own idols congratulated you?
I got a letter from Fatboy Slim who said he was in love with me and was going to leave Zoe! He went on to write how he'd love to meet me and asked for a signed autograph. I just couldn't believe it! Even Brian Dowling said he felt like he was with someone really famous, God love him! It's the best when a celebrity tells you they voted for you as well. I did a shoot with Dannii Minogue, Jenny Frost, and Cold Feets Hermione Norris the other day, and there were so lovely to me. Hermione asked for an autograph for her mate and I was like "Oh my God! - this is so surreal"

It's been rumoured that Duncan from Blue has been bombarding you with text messages. Care to spill the beans?
There's been massive speculation about us two and its just not true. He phones me quite a lot a we;'I've become good mates, but he's just so not like that/ He phoned my on tour from Malaysia the other day, ant it's more like he's giving me advice on how to handle things, telling me he'll always be there if it gets too much for me. Do I fancy him? (Blushes) Oh no - we're just like friends now.

You are said to have been overheard in a local pub wishing Jade would drop dead - what really happened there?
Jade and I spoke the next day and had a giggle about it, as she knows as much as I do about the press blowing things out of proportion. People should realise that I like to joke about and take the mickey. I did say, "Yes the rumours are true. I hate the cow and I've a bullet proof vest on" but I was just playing it up. Then I went on to say how I thought she was really sweet and then did impressions of all the housemates and told funny stories. But they didn't want to write anything about that, oh no. They press were outside all night, so I gave them what they wanted and to say I wished she was dead is just plain nasty.

In your documentary, The Winners Story, Jade acted as if butter wouldn't melt in her mouth after slating you in the papers. How did you feel about that?
When she arrived, there was tension in the air as she had just announced that she wanted to chin me. But she explained she never said that and, although that day she did act like a bit of a diva, the thing with Jade is she's really young and she's totally enjoying the experience. When she said to me about my hair looking better blond than black, I didn't know if she was having a dig or being Jade. So when she waltzed in harping on about having a personal trainer, I did get one in by saying "What? To lose all that weight?". Me and Jade get on and we always have a giggle together when we see each other, but it's not like we're going to be bosom buddies or anything.

It was also claimed you stormed out of a pub quiz after the compere made a few jokey comments about you...
Oh my God, that is such rubbish! When I was leaving the pub where my mate works, she asked me if it was OK if they said "This is Big Brother - can Kate come to the diary room" so I laughed and left the pub to go on for a meal across the road. The next day it was all over the paper that I threw a strop and barged out. How stupid is that?

So what's the goss on you and Spencer?
This is the deal with me and Spanky - I really fancy him and always have done. And now Spencer has told me that he fancies me! When he told OK! He didn't fancy me, I wound him up about it and he said it was because he didn't like the way I was with Alex. We like each other, but we're just mates and nothing has happened yet.

It was reported that you spent a romantic weekend away with Spencer at his local boozer...
It wasn't totally true. We spent a lovely day at his local pub, did a bit of fishing, watched the sunset, then went for some dinner and I left. We had a really nice day together and he's been a different person from the one he was in the house - much better company yet still as laid back.

In BB you admitted you found him totally gorgeous. Is that still the case?
He's a funny one. We have this brother-sister thing going on, where he's being totally horrible to me in the nicest way possible. Guess what his nickname is for me now? Buttmonkey! Can you believe that? He actually just texted me and said he's abit down as he's got no one to be horrible to today! Bless him.

Have you had another snog yet?
No. We're just mates at the moment. He came down to my house and ended up in the garden with my dad supping beers while I watched Jerry Springer with my sister. We enjoy each others company but we're just mates who are seeing how it goes.

What's next on the horizon?
The radio show is the main thing. Especially if its got something to do with sport, as I love my footie - especially Arsenal! Sit me down to chat with any attractive famous bloke and I'll be in my element. I mean, things can't be any madder that they have been, can they!

********

doesn't she come across as a lovely girl And the photo spread, she is a gorgeous, and her 2 friends are not bad either I hope everything works out for her and Spencer.....Maybe Davina will have to buy a hat

No, not really.

Some things that conflict in other stuff I've read in there, who's to say who's telling the truth?

But Lovely? Not particularly.

------------------------------------------------

Maxiii:
Sometimes it just doesn't matter how good or bad anyone is at whatever, if they are wanted, then that is what counts, and good or bad at her DJ skills in these very early days, she is wanted.

I would like to see more of her on TV, I think she's got 'it', but
being worried and nervous before an appearance is not going to bring out her full radiance right now. She is not relaxed yet.

One of these nights Kate is going to be calling Johnny on his
'transfering you' line and Kate will turn around to find he is there in the studio 'behind her!!' this is where it's all leading isnt it?

Kate watched the movie 'cos she needed to know about it before interviewing Matt Damon about it, for Living TV.

Spencer was with her 'cos they are supporting each other, as friends do, Kate says "he is my stalker!"

I agree with a caller on Tuesday night's show who suggested that Kate should take over the show time slot before Steve Penk's, I cannot take staying up late weeknights, and am taping the shows. For Kate's part, maybe she is a little young for having to be at work between 10 and 1, cuts out all the evening and the middle of the night, Im sure that does not make her feel good, more like out of it. She sounds as though she is surprised to be dealing with a lot of very young children, at late times, and I suspect she would prefer to be free to be a little more voyeuristic! (how DO you spell that ?)

I remember listening to sketches per chance just briefly, on vinyl records of Peter Cooke and his co conspirators, stuff must be like gold dust to find now.

I've just been watching "Celebrities Behaving Badly" on Sky and got the impression that it's considered pretty naff in the entertainment business, to be involved with anyone from BB.
I suppose Panto, Kid's Shows and cocoa shift slots on the radio are about as good as it gets.

LOL........... and you really take celebrities that behave badly serious
They would love to have Panto, kids shows and a slot on a top rated radio station.......... Get over yourself

James Whale (Talksport) and Fi Glover (Radio 5) are on from 10pm to 1am, so it's not "graveyard" by any means.

Chris Moyles started his Radio 1 job on the 4am to 7am slot, I recall.

Another great show. The girl can do no wrong....
Alex, and all the other loser's (except Jonny Spencer Alison and PJ) will be Green with Envy Just remember that LoNDoNcaLLiNg is the person that Backed the winner. It gives me so much pleasure when I think about all the times in the future when Kate fills our TV screans with her beauty

Erm! Perhaps you didn't quite understand what I was saying. The show was called "Celebrities Behaving Badly" and it was various people, within the media, talking about and making observations on the behaviour and antics of celebrities behaving badly and it was these commentators, not the actual misbehaving celebrities themselves, who gave the impression, that it was considered naff within the industry, to be linked with any BB contestants.
Get real sunshine, the BB3 experience is more or less over.......Dont forget to turn out the lights.

I think she was fab. I noticed she said at the end of her last show "we'll meet again soon".
Chris Tarrant will apparently be leaving in a couple of months, which means a vacant slot will be available at Capital due to reshuffling of DJ's.

Hmmm...

Get over yourself I can always work out what you are trying to say in your (QUOTE) you just like replying to me xxxxxxxxxxxx

Excellent. I was listening online and when the connection went around 11.30pm I switched off. Shame really, she sounded like she was having a good time. It would be good if she could do something nationally though?

Radio is actually a better career path than Television; you have more control over your material (look at how many presenters and TV shows started off in Radio), and you can develop your own style. On TV, you don't have the space or freedom to do that.

I certainly hope she lands a job on a national station, as she is already better than alot of the DJ's in this country, and of course so I can hear her husky voice on the Radio.

I saw kate on the Living Channel. The camera loves her
She must have a good agent, because I was not excepting to see her on TV for a couple of months. But then again, agent or no agent, you have to have the whole package to succed in life. Kate seems to be that type of person. She is not nasty, bicthy or arrogant. She was lovely with the young people that rang her on Capital Radio, She also said in the OK spread,how her and Spencer (the babe) are very good friends. I bet he is the envy of all his friends

[

Yes, I must admit they are a well matched couple....Bland on Bland.

Well who else was phoning? Every night her fun base was missing bed just to hear her. I expect radio bosses will next time give her a more suitable time.

The irreverent and controversial hype was just a non starter. Phone to tell me if you are a nutcase... who I will punch tonight... chat me up... argh ... Is she trying to convince us she is brainless? Well she tryed hard.

And the friends in spain, jonny, pj, alison, her granny, her dad, was the dog also there? As if enough were not enough, we have to have romance trick. Bless her. It must be so difficult to fill in "5 X3 minus repetitive music and ads" hours with something interesting!

LOL..

I'm not fussed about radio hype saying she was to be irreverent and controversial on her show. And I wasn't expecting revolutionary new radio either. And I didn't really care about the topics being discussed.

It was just nice to hear someone like Kate on radio, someone who has no gimmicks or axe to grind, but just has a good, all-round personality and talent.

In fact, I think that's why Big Brother is so popular - people are tired of seeing celebrities with something to sell. It's nice to see people being celebrated for their own personalities for a change, rather than because they have some gimmick or other.

Exactly, She did a Fab Job.

What's wrong with her chatting to her friends and family? It gave her show a more personal feel...getting to know the person presenting the show. What struck me was that she talked to callers in the same manner that she talked to her friends and family.
It was good to hear Kate and Jade have a friendly conversation, for example. These conversations, with the exception of Spencer and K's father, were not in the studio, there was much less of the HM's than I expected, actually.

Like beebop, I like the straightforward style of Kate, none of the pretence of being "dangerous" or "edgy", just straightforward fun...she managed to make a very good show without the benefit of a fine-tuned, established format. In short, she has the raw ability.

(Incidentally, the rather silly "irreverent and controversial" blurb was actually applied to Penk's show, and thus innevitably ended up as the blurb for Kate's gig.)
