Celebwatch- Vordermans property firm

Ive been Wating for the opportunity to shout to you Carol - DO THE MATH ::cool:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1162078/New-blow-Vorderman-quits-property-firm-hit-slump.html

TV star Carol Vorderman has become the latest victim of the credit crunch after a property company she fronted was forced to start winding down.
The former Countdown presenter and her agent attended a crisis meeting with executives at Carol Vorderman Overseas Homes last week, telling them they were no longer willing to have her name and face associated with the firm.
Ms Vorderman had raised her concerns that the company could not guarantee future customers that their properties would be completed by developers.
The firm is now being ‘run down into dormancy’, according to its director Terry O’Connor.
Dear oh dear eh?


( I make no bones, I really do not like this woman one bit after reading an article about her where she flagrantly stated she regretted having her son as he interfered with her career- then the 1st plus thing- shes a horrible witch. )
:beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
This Ive come to know...
So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    She fronted all those sub-prime loan ads on tv as well. Despicable.

    Another horrible 'celebrity' on the take. Overpriced property, dodgy loans, rip-off savings plans, etc. There's no low to which she wouldn't stoop just so long as she got a few quid for it.

    I bet our leader the great one Martin Lewis will be equally saddened by this news given his campaign to shut her up over sub-prime loans.

    Great find Lynz. Thanks for that.

    The thread title should be changed from Celebwatch to Crimewatch

    How this women could use her status to con people into serious debt problems is indeed criminal.

    I hate to say it, but Downey is right - Thread title should be changed to crimewatch

    Carol Vorderman; The Face of Sub Prime.

    Perhaps that's why she did Comic Relief? To help those less fortunate or to up her profile to a primetime audience?
    During the Apperntice, she wore a grands worth of Roland Mouret frock at one point and the face had had a lot of fillers and faffing done to it.
    She looked a bit comical.

    And she must be geting ready to go on another diet and then, sell another book about it as she looked a touch hefty too....heftier than before.
    Perhaps it's the stress.
    Did she ever sell the flat with the purple lit up walls? PN found it on RM some time back.

    I thought she was looking a bit shapely in one frock, curvy shall we say. :confused:
    I came in to this world with nothing and I've still got most of it left. :rolleyes:
