I don't know if she needs the money, there are always tabloid exaggerations of the personal fortunes of some showbusiness people. But I guess she still wants the attention.
I'd imagine her management company would want her to do some promotional work again this week which will impinge on her rehearsal time. If they don't that would speak volumes in itself.
Miss Bunton has been "found out." even her once staunch supporter Craig was saying "wonderful arms poor feet" before Saturday. Bruno has brought attention to himself with his bias, which may now not be in such evidence at the week-end.
Miss Bunton too has "let the cat out of the bag" by saying that she smiles to draw attention away from her feet. Viewers will be aware of that.
There were a lot of people voting for Peter last week. Those who voted for him will not necessarily be the sort to transfer their vote to Ms Bunton, but rather if they now vote at all to another sports personality. So she'll have her work cut out on Saturday.
The media attention has turned quickly away from her and is now on Claire's long term struggle with arthritis which was all over the papers today, she'll be collecting the "sympathy votes" now, as did Emma for CIN.”
That is harsh, very harsh. Yes Emma thinks she is not the best celebrity in the competition, but at least she is willing to work herself even harder to get it right next time. That's what that article shows. It must be pretty difficult in her position as she's got the BBC wanting her CIN commitments but then she wants the Strictly commitments, she can't win. She does have potential, and the more work she puts in the better, and Darren will certainly whip her back to their brilliant standard, IMO.
With the talent comment, she has had more of a career than the other Spice Girls, which means she must be able to sell records; otherwise she would have been dropped by her label.
I actually thought this would be a positive thread about Emma; how wrong could I be.
