Most of us just have to carry on the best we can if it happens to us, yet it happens to a "celebrity" and it is a headline on a media site. Nobody worse than the Beckhams for that on a daily basis telling the trillions who follow them how much they have earned or spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padders Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Attention seeker Katie Price is on the Tele tomorrow night, Its all about her bringing up her disabled son Harvey. Now I have every sympathy with her, but there are thousands of mums in similar circumstances. If we have to watch something like this, lets have some poor mum struggling along on benefits, Not Katie Price !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikki-red Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 But yet again, Katie Price (or anyone else) can’t just decide she wants to be on TV. It has to be deemed of interest to people by the powers that be, the producers etc of these shows. Just because you (or I if I’m honest) aren’t interested in watching this kind of thing, doesn’t mean that no one else is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand Padders point of view, but Katie will bring the plight of the disabled to viewers notice more than an unknown person. She’s not as daft as she looks !

She's a business woman and knows how to steal the limelight. I've no doubt the programme will be well put together, and the nation will be shedding tears. A woman whose been on jungle celebrity twice earning vast amounts of money, plus everything else she has done. She's been bankrupt god knows how many times, sorry but I do wonder.

I understand your point of view Padders, but she could easily have put Harvey away somewhere from birth, but she chose not to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no doubt whatsoever that she's a very caring and devoted mum. I just think she's taking the opportunity to further her own needs, that's just me I'm afraid, very suspicious of her motives.

She must be getting a fare amount of money for the programme. Still admire her for bringing her son up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t do my job for free. As for putting her kids on TV, that’s perhaps a different matter, but anything that raises awareness about disability, and all the issues that go with it has got to be a good thing surely? A lot more people will watch this than would if it was Mrs Bloggs from Rotherham, and the programme makers know that.

I shall watch the programme first though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
