Does anyone remember The Word from the early/mid nineties? They had a section called I'd do anything to get on TV. You used to get people swimming in manure or young men kissing grannies. It was highly controversial at the time. Who'd have thought it would turn out to be so prophetic of the state of TV today.
The last time I laughed as much as I did at Gaffney last night was when Caprice was on MOM and they placed her on the thank you desk without telling her that she was going to get buckets of gunge thrown at her. Boy did she throw a tantrum.
Talking of celebrities cowering at the thought of being gunged on TV can you believe there was talk of Rachel Stevens appearing on I'm a Celebrity? Given her behaviour on Dick 'n' Dom if she had been asked to do a bush tucker trial she'd have given up without trying.
My view on all these winging celebrities is if you've taken the appearance fee take the punishment!!!
