"Dr" Gillian McKeith
Posted by Mr Sparks on 21 November 2010 - 11:15pm.
Just wondering what the massive think of "Dr" Gillian McKeith's antics on I'm a Celebrity - the live on TV faint being the latest.
Remember, this woman is a fake - she has the same PhD as Ben Goldacre's dead cat.
Quite why she even bothered to go on the show when she's a vegan, is a big question.
The fact she bottled the digger trial without even trying and then lied to her her camp mates about it speaks volumes about her personality.
But then again...why the hell am I even writing this, it's only a bit of crap TV!

I haven't seen the programme
But Gilian McKeith never struck me as a particularly good advert for her own diet.
I do know professionally that she's very vain. (She's also very libellous.)
Litigious
I think you mean. Allegedly.
She hasn't quite got the hang of the new technology

Awful woman
You Are What You Tweet
You Are What You Tweet
I've tuned in twice this year
once cos Shaun Ryder was doing a trial and it was hilarious and I just turned over tonight to see McKeith do the most controlled faint since I last saw a panto.
Horrid vile woman
Here's the "faint"
Strange colours
on that clip. Looks like an episode of Teletubbies.
On same intellectual level?
On same intellectual level?
oohhh Vic i've fallen.
Worth remembering that the fake Dr Poo is the same age as Nigella Lawson. Which ones the better advert for healthy living?
She's no more a doctor
than I am!
You never said that
when you asked me to cough...
I just wanted to
check out the Beany Beans.
Doctor....
... Can I just say that I particularly enjoyed my prescription of 'Everything Everything' and 'The Radio Dept.' from your recent North West Massive compilation CD?
Ah good-oh
please continue to take twice a day until the urge to listen to out-takes by Bruce Springsteen subsides.
My favourite bit...
...of "Bad Science" is at the start of the McKeith chapter, when Ben Goldacre writes:
The Poo Lady
Yes, she is vile - but we don't have to watch. We don't have to participate in the freakshow. I keep up with these sorts of programme simply by listening to any random conversation conducted by the other people in my office. Much easier, and cheaper.
Nigel Havers
has buggered off. I'm surprised he was there in the first place. Then again he has got out early to go to rehearsals for panto. Shame as him and Ryder were making a lovely odd couple, perving over the ladies from the sofa area
I'll tune in again near the end if there is a chance of Shaun Ryder winning \ going tonto and killing them all but I suspect he'll walk early and get down the pub.
If Dr Poo leaves then the public with have at Lembit Opik next - weaselly little scroat (TMFTL)
They reminded
me of two other old geezers making comments from a balcony:
She makes for great TV
but she's truly awful.
Why the fuck is she even there? Apparently she's never seen the show, which makes we wonder why on earth she agreed to do it in the first place.
Dreadful charlatan.
Attempted career
Attempted career resurrection.
Attempted Career Resurrection
TMFTL.
Glad I'm an expat
Because I've never heard of her, even from her first career.
apparentky she has some relatives in
Australia she hasn't seen for a while.
And of course, for the money, its not like she's going to get a new TV series anytime soon. Or is she? "Gillian Tries To Say Boo To A Goose" coming to ITV4 soon
I don't watch the show but
I obviously get to hear things and I am left wondering, why a woman whose main claim to fame is getting people to shit then poking around with it on TV, finds the whole exercise so galling. Can't wait for the bit when she swims with live alligators, I might watch that.
She was associated with
the brand, "You are What You Eat" but then they probably realised that it may not have been for the best as she probably must have been eating shrews for the last twenty years.
As someone commented elsewhere
if her show was called "You are What You Eat", she must have eaten a fucking idiot.
and now depicted in song...
There's some great rhyming there
Gillian
Silly 'un
Million
Reptilian
Brett Domino
His other work is well worth checking out. Equal mix of musical genius and awkward geekery.
