My mate's brother-in-law bought a second-hand ladder that once belonged to the window cleaner of somebody who used to live next door to Esther Rantzen.

I'm now able to confirm that on this basis I've been formally approached to appear on I'm a Celebrity 2018.

All in the eye of the beholder, floo. All I can say is, never mind his politics, he was a great sport on Strictly and it enhanced his reputation as such and a hard worker. 

Let's hope Kezia does the same in Jungle. I don't watch all of that and out of this year's line-up, I recognise hardly any but I will tune in to see how she fares. I quite like her from what I know and don't think she is the only politician or ex-politician who has taken part. She's a brave woman! It's a really difficult competition.

I saw an excerpt of him on 'Strictly', not a show we watch, he seemed to be making a complete idiot of himself, but whatever turns you on.

Kez is a nice lass, Robbie.
That was her problem right there.
The mess she inherited in SLAB didn't need a nice lass t control it...but Idoubt anyone could have done much better with the miserable deck of cards she was dealt.
I hope her career afer Holyrood is more to her liking.
Apparently, some of the knives in the SLAB branch office are being sharpened - some have called for her suspension - even expulsion - from the party, which, IMHO, is nonsense.

It's not his decision and he knows it, so Corbyn can say what he wants safe in the knowledge that she's toast.

Thanks Anchorman, like this bit:-
"Kezia’s decision to appear on I’m a Celebrity and the announcement just hours before the results of the leadership contest are announced is a massive screw you to a dysfunctional and moribund party which conspired against her at every opportunity and then stabbed her in the back. "

Kezia to win!

Only she isn't in it at the moment, she will no doubt be added on with someone else as they do.  Yes, I'm watching but logged on here during the 'heights' bit because it terrifies me.

I like Boris's dad, Stanley.

They've been paired up so far and the pairings are good.  Feel sorry for Amir Khan because the first thing they have to do is walk the plank at the top of a skyscraper and he shares my heights phobia.

(Walter, only just seen your question. No Ed Balls was not a minister when he took part in 'Strictly', he lost his seat in 2015)

I like Kez but if I left my job for a couple of weeks to appear on a TV show without agreement, I would be sacked and deservedly so.


That said some of the personal attacks on her by her fellow party members with the undecurrent of sexism and homophobia would also get me sacked.

Possibly. Then she should have resigned.

Given she is in a political party with commitments to it, them for a start. And I would have thought the voters that she is there to represent as well.

He speaks very highly of you though. But his mother always adopted the adage if you can't say anything nice about someone, don't say anything at all.

Methinks it a shame that more people don't follow that advice.
