    She's done her reputation more damage than her enemies ever could.

    What reputation?

    Now I don't watch I'm a celebrity, but I am aware of 'Dr' Gillian Mckeith and her 'work'. Everybody with an interest in this awful woman ought to take a look at a book called Bad Science by Ben Goldacre, theres an entire chapter dedicated to Mckeith and how she is a nasty, vicious fraud with zero professional qualifications and a penchant for suing anyone who tries to point out shes wrong.

    Hopefully she'll die in the Jungle and the world will be rid of her.

    do you have the link to this, would love to read the article.
    and I totally agree, this woman has sifted through so much human poo, she should be able to handle a few flies and bugs
    :j BIG THANKS TO ALL COMP POSTERS, MUCH APPRECIATED :j
  • She is an absolute embarrassment, and I am praying this is the end of her career. She is not a doctor, she is a pathetic attention seeking excuse for a human being, and I hate seeing her smug face on telly as she moans about things and says how she is so much better.

    If I ever met this woman god knows what I would do!

    WOW - I feel better now that's off my chest :D

    re youtube clip - pure comedy!! :rotfl:

    what is also funny is this show is for people who's careers have long since died, a chance for them to resserect it, but its doing the complete opposite. can't wait till she is out, gonna enjoying reading even more flack about her.

    just reading on the Guardian.co.uk that the "I'm a celebrity .." logo has been removed from her website as she did not have the licence to use it and i qoute

    "it appears McKeith is hoping to use the show's high profile to relaunch her television career, which dwindled not long after her decision to stop calling herself Dr McKeith – a change that followed informal discussions with the Advertising Standards Authority and criticism from the Guardian's science writer Ben Goldacre."
