Pigs Do Fly

‘FOR the past year, magazines like OK! have been trying to persuade us that there is something inherently interesting about Big Brother porker Jade Goody.

Goody-no-shoes

”She may not have won the show,” OK! reminds us, ”but she won a host of admirers – and is expecting a child in July with her model-turned-presenter boyfriend Jeff Brazier.”

In other words, to add to the qualities that we already know of – loudness, stupidity, drunkenness, obesity etc. – we can now add fertility.

With such an array of talents, it is no surprise that Jade has won over the nation’s hearts and is an estimated £400,000 richer than this time last year.

And there is more to come – she is about to appear with quiz show cheat Major Charles Ingram in a programme called Celebrity Wife Swap and is being paid £50,000 for a documentary about her pregnancy.

”No matter what happens,” OK! says, ”it looks like she’s here to stay.”

As, it seems, is the winner of last year’s programme Kate Lawler who runs the rule over this year’s contestants.

Of Gos: ”Every other word is ‘mate’, which is hilarious”; of Anoushka: ”Her walk is wicked!” of Ray: ”His Irish accent is wicked”; of Sissy: ”She’s a DJ, which is a cool job”; and, best of all, of Tania: ”She’s very posh”.’
