Just reading on Teletext that the Met Office have given her the boot after revelations about her private life! What goes around comes around eh?

For someone so intelligent, Katie certainly seems to be making massive errors of judgement since she left the show. Did she really think that giving such an interview would endear her to her employers? Or to anyone else come to think of it!

It`ll be interesting to see who will employ her now. I think she may even have to take a huge cut in pay as she is now such a hate figure. She`s the architect of her own downfall.

She should be there. I think it is in their contract that they all have to appear on "You`re Fired!" and also the final show. Besides which - she`ll need the money now!

Katie will forever be viewed as a liability for employers from now on....she really has shot herself in the foot.

I mean, seriously, who would want to hire her???

Isn't there a well known one based in Liverpool?
Probably too professional for her, she could try the American ones.

Since that episode of the Apprentice I have had a look at some of the shopping channels and can't believe how badly wrong they got it. Those presenters are good. I almost bought a steam cleaner at one point - for a brief nanosecond they almost convinced me it would truly improve my life if I had one.
My favourite so far is the inflatable bed which is ideal for gymnasts and bears.

ooh! was that the steam cleaner shown on the teleshopping that they have on itv2 or film4 etc before proper programmes start? That was really convincing, luckily I have a new unused iron so I managed to resist!

But, more importantly, will she get one that provides her with a Gold BA card?

"Conduct" is the key word. Who could work with her?
