Congratulations on your ratings 👏🏻.Ours were good too. In other news. I hope my boss would have dragged me off set if I’d used my platform - on national TV - to tell a pregnant woman, speaking openly about suicidal thoughts, that I didn’t believe a word she said.
I'm surprised BBC bosses didn't storm in and drag you off set after yesterday's ratings came in.

It must be heartbreaking for the family & friends of Caroline Flack to read tributes from some of those who hounded her. Our ‘cancel’ culture is brutal. We all have demons and flaws but we dehumanise each other & are then surprised when it all becomes too much for some.

I’ve thought about this overnight and it’s clear that a lot of people are finding it very difficult to watch Matt Hancock on #ImACeleb. If he really wants to show viewers the human side of politicians, maybe he could leave the show & donate his £400,000 to the NHS.

Imagine being given a TV show & a newspaper column & using them both to pick on a woman who didn’t want to go out for a second drink with you 🤔.
Imagine being two staggeringly privileged royal multi-millionaires going to Africa to make a documentary that supposedly 'shines a light' on poverty, violence against women/girls & racial inequality - then in fact making it all about their own terrible struggle? I mean, FFS.

So just to clarify Saint Daniel, you think it’s perfectly OK for a top sportsman to tattoo a large assault rifle onto his leg, at a time when these very same rifles are being relentlessly used to massacre children in schools?
