So I’ve met Jen. In real life and everything. And I somehow managed to tell her she was whiny and manipulative to her face, and I have to tell you I rather enjoyed it. Of course she’s just a fairly normal girl who went on Big Brother and behaved badly, and now she’s come out she doesn’t seem like a fundamentally evil human being or anything, so I’m not setting myself up as some kind of Paxman figure grilling Robert Mugabe, but you get the idea. As a BB viewer, she annoyed me with her antics and I thought it would be poor form to be on BBBM while she was on and not make that clear. Also, I wanted to take this opportunity now to respond to some cynical souls out there on internet messageboards who assumed the only reason I had anything negative to say to Jen was because she had slagged off heat magazine when she was still in the BB house last week. Well, I have to tell you that I had no idea about Jen’s anti-heat outburst until someone mentioned it to me on Friday night, well after I’d been on Big Mouth with her. Apparently, at some point in the live E4 feed last week Jen started talking about weekly magazines and made it clear that heat wasn’t exactly her favourite. Fair enough. But there’s no way I personally would have been in the slightest bit affected by her aversion to the magazine one way or the other. It was certainly not in my mind (mainly because I genuinely didn’t know about it) as I sat there on the Big Mouth banquette right next to kiddies’ TV legend Pat Sharp waiting for the arrival of the great lady herself. Neither was my confrontation with Jen a reaction to her Davina interview, which, weirdly, I didn’t get to see either. The timings of Friday’s Big Brother show and the subsequent BBBM are such that the guests on Big Mouth don’t actually get to see Davina grilling the just-evicted housemate. So Sharpy and I just sat there oblivious, wondering if Jen had been given a rottweiler mauling by Davina. All I was thinking as BM host Nick Grimshaw (or “Grimmy” as he likes to be called) paced nervously round the studio was, “I really want to show Jen how horribly she came across and somehow get to the very root of her entirely self-absorbed being within the two-and-a-half minutes I’m about to get to spend with her, which might be do-able as long as Pat Sharp doesn’t interrupt too much”. Whether I managed it or not, YOU decide, as someone sometimes says…
