I watched the first one of these last night and quite enjoyed it as I like to keep up with nutritional knowledge hence watching How to Lose weight before it. Unfortunately its 'celebs' again but I enjoyed it - poor old Peter Davidson got carted off to hospital on the second day due to symptoms which may have been sugar withdrawal although after only one day it seems unlikely even if he is a fudge addict.

We watched it and enjoyed some of it but who is that large blonde woman? What a lazy mare she was grin love Joe Pasquale he really got into it despite being the worst for his eating patterns. Looking at what they were allowed it seems I need to eat meat and vegs and not a lot else, like that's going to happen! wink

She is from Towie (I only know that as its was on the introduction) she was certainly work shy and whiney she needs to up her game if she is going to be successful at losing weight. I thought JP was excellent they way he got stuck into the hard work and remained cheerful. He is worried about developing type 2 Diabetes like his father so I hope he reaches his goals. I suspect his eating habits are a reflection of being on tour.

Gemma can't afford to loose too much weight, it's her trade mark and her range of clothes are for the 'larger' lady.

Gemma left I'm a Celebrity Get me Out of Here after a couple of days - bet she won't stay the course on this programme either.

We enjoyed it but wish someone would give Gemma a slap.

I agree about Gemma, waste of space. She was the same on I'm a Celeb, left after three days, still got a fee though!

I was longing for the pigs to get hold of her Chanel bag grin Who takes something like that to work on a farm? Finding the rest of it quite interesting as DH is always trying to cut down on sugar.

Ann Widdecombe looks about 150. shock

Actually, she looks better in the fresh air. grin

I went on a very, very low sugar diet a couple of years ago. I still seemed able to function so they must all have been eating shed loads of the stuff!

Gemma going fishing is one of the funniest things I have seen on tv for a long time!

Certainly was Ankers. She really is a lazy wotsit too.

I actually had tears in my eyes from laughing, which is rare for me.

When people appear lazy, I tend to give them the benefit of the doubt for a bit.
But seeing her suddenly work a lot harder when she liked the farmer, there really wasnt much doubt after that.
Though I suspect some of "laziness" it is a bit of an act for the cameras.

I am really enjoying this programme - except for waste of space Gemma. I saw Jo on tv saying that as soon as the cameras stopped she downed tools and refused to carry on. He also said that he got on really well with all but two of the group and made it perfectly clear who they were - Gemma and Anne.
