    Yes, she drives me nuts cos whenever it's a big hard going on the Fit Club she starts puffing away on her inhaler!!!


    You wouldnt mind but:

    a) she was smoking like a chimney

    and

    b) one time she supposedly was having an asthma attack, puffed her inhaler but didnt even breathe it in!

    Sorry, rant over.....

    I just pop in now and then.... :)

    Worse than her, what was the name of the one who was in pop idol and celebrity fit club and dropped out of both........?

    Can't remember - anyway, him! Either gluttony or sloth ;)
