I currently looking for a new job.......there's plenty of IT work in London and Yorkshire.........you never know who'll you'll bump into on a night out clubbing.

I think it would be best if we'd both had a drink or two when we first meet......it takes the edge off my personality.

Having watched this a couple of times, it's my view that the use of the word "ridiculous" was very ill-advised, certainly in a TV interview, and got the reaction I would have expected from Chanelle, ie some annoyance. They seem okay in the next bit, joking about going back to their old jobs ... surely joking in Chanelle's case, as she knew by then she had quite a few things coming up.

Thanks for the link Ken, i would have felt like Chanelle did when he said ridiculous about getting engaged after all he had said to her declaring his undying love for her just a couple of weeks before, she certainly didnt have no strop like some people were suggesting.

Chanelle in the BBH had been very worn down by illness and by constant emotional and psychological pressures of Z's inconsistency and the unpredictability of BB and other HM's - she had nothing to distract her from these pressures, not even a book. Chanelle was clearly deeply in love with Z so she was vulnerable and compliant to him in those circumstances. However, even by the time that Chanelle returned to the House as a guest she had more than regained her self confidence, she recognised her huge public popularity and his equally huge unpopularity, - I recall there being suggestions of threats against him. In the course of that visit Chanelle contrasted strongly with Z, she appearing strong, confident, and gorgeous while he looked rough, lacking confidence and far from attractive. By contrast to the last time he had seen her Chanelle was the strong person offering him support that was far more than he could have expected - and far more than he had ever offered her. Subsequently he remarked to another HM that he feared that he had lost her and that she had left him far behind.

On finals night. Z was clearly anxious about what he was going out to - and when he actually left the House it was Chanelle who led the crowd's cheers for him and actively provided support for him throughout. Initially Z had some success in obtaining paid work in conjunction with Chanelle, but although she continued to be inundated with work he obtained little paid work of significance. In a interview that Z did with a magazine he was asked how he felt about Chanelle earning much more than he did. Z tried to dismiss the matter, but it was clear from his agent's interjection, (suggesting that Chanelle did not earn more), that this was a cause of tension. (The agent's suggestion was also plainly absurd.)

With the relative lack of paid work Z not only had lower earning power than Chanelle but also had less oportunity to achieve the same level of self confidence. Added to this, he was also disadvantaged by the fact that Chanelle is far more articulate both in public and private, a fact that was apparent within BBH and since.

As we have seen from the time Chanelle left BBH she has consistently worked hard, and this was particularly notable following the NOTW matter when Chanelle mantained a determined professional attitude to her work in spite of the the way she must have felt emotionally. By contrast Z appeared to keep a very much lower profile.

Overall since leaving BBH Chanelle has shown herself to be a strong and confident young woman with a clear sense of her responsibility to familiy, friends, fans and professional commitments. By contrast, whatever the details of Z's behaviour with other women in the course of his work and his failure to return home when expected, it is apparent that he did not show the same level of reliable responsibility.

Although, as we saw on finals night, Chanelle was willing to make very considerably effeort to support and encourage the man she loved, in any confrontation between the two of them she would be the stronger one of them in every aspect except brute force. Without doubt to someone who wants to view himself as a mans man this relative weakness with his partner would be likely to undermine his sense of masculinity - for the partner to reduce her achievements would be no remedy, only greater success in his own work would overcome this sense of failure within that relationship. The other alternative is to end the relationship - and either to avoid relationships or to ensure that any new relationship is with a less successfull and/or lower profile partner.

Thanks for that Dia. I had forgotten but at the end of the clip things looked to have been smoothed over.

Night Dia - see you tomorrow.

I hadn't heard of it being confirmed

Do you know when it was on?

Didn't say........will probably be advertised during wannabe on friday(as its an hour) so i'll keep an eye out.

I agree very much with this summary. I would also say Z is not comfortable in front of the cameras, whereas Chanelle took to TV work and photoshoots like a duck to water ... she superior in that dept. too.

Would two Take That shows be a bit strange? The two channels could be running it the same night, maybe. I'll record the ITV one anyway, if I'm out that night.

Love the blog and she does it on her own accord like someone that gets told to by his fans

Yes I agree, although they will probably say that we told her that he has sent one, therefore she needs to send one:yawn:

Still appreciating Chanelle more and more each day

Chan really appreciates the support she has; fans even sending her Xmas gifts ... she must have got piles of cards and stuff.

My favourite dresses were the film premiere with the white lacy dress and the red bow and the Duran Duran concert.
I thought both were stunning and she showed them off to theit full potential.

As always

I think she always looks gorgeous, but if I had to pick a favourite, i would pick either the black dress that she wore for the BB final or the red dress that she wore for the BBLB reunion on the sunday. She looked absolutely stunning.

Good night guys, I'll try and have caht tomorrow.

Don't ask me to single out my favourite Chan outfit ... too many great ones to choose from. She wore a sparkly dark blue short dress one night, which was one of my favourites for sure.

Night swinny.

Thank you for that - I hope Chanelle is living her life to the full also.

You're spot on. She does really appreciate the support she gets. Inside the house it was clear she expected to have little to no appeal with the public. In fact she felt there was a real good chance she would emerge to all-round derision. Winning something like the "Best ever housemate" on ds must be such a shock to her and yet both an unexpected pleasure and vindication of her time in the BB house.

She may have walked, but she was the one who made the biggest impact on the viewing public.

Beer goggles I didn't think they were required with FC.

Exactly - she just made it clear that he was being somewhat disrespectful to her

Well she likes tanned tall guys and i'm 5'8 without a tan .......why couldn't my parents have racked me in the sun as a kid.

I pretty much hit the mark on all the other criteria.

I guess it's a lot easier coming to terms with people liking you when you didn't think they would .... than the other way round.

Buy some fake tan

You've just gotta be in the right place at the right time and use the FC charm
