Lauren was COMPLETELY mis-edited during the task!

[Rob!]

Take a look at this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDllZHmvyyc

Lauren vehemently denies the fact that the child prodigy thing was a hoax saying that the statement itself was a lie - but in tonight's show, they made it sound like she was admitting to the fact that it was a hoax!

It WAS a hoax, but she will never admit to it!

[Pincho Paxton]

She has admitted it was a hoax on a TV program.

Of course it was a hoax. Lauren (as James) was a 10yr old scammer! :joker:

OK, it was orchestrated by the father but the boy was old enough to know right from wrong.

[Rob!]

Still though. Complete mis edit. :D

[CaudleHalbard]

Still though. Complete mis edit. :D

Just for once........ a justified mis-edit! :joker:

[south12345]

Mis-edited maybe but Lauren did admit previously on another show that she was coached as a child into what to say about antiques by her father. She was not a child prodigy but a product of her parents insatiable appetite to get rich quick and to revel in the limelight of their child's notoriety, even though it meant castigating and isolating her and themselves from society outside the view of a camera..

Where is the badly edited version?

Where is the badly edited version?

I would like to know that, as well. The version posted is what happened.
She lied about it being a lie!

[Rob!]

The badly edited version being what was on the highlights last night :)

All Hls are butchered to suit the producers' whims.
OR, they're used to create a headline for the Daily Scum.

I was doing some detective work last night, and glancing at the TV every so often, so I missed it. Is there no video?

There probably is, but you'll have to fast forward to find it.

Fast forward to about 16/17 Mins.

They did show her on the highlights saying a couple of times that the statement about it being a hoax was a 'lie'

Trouble is, her saying that it's a lie is the LIE!

Edit: she claims to want a career in Television, can you imagine what she'd be like trying to read the autocue?
Going by how she read those VERY few lines on the board she'd be 10 times worse than AJ!

[Pincho Paxton]

Yeah the editing is a bit dodgy. The full version was more interesting anyway.

I remember seeing her with Terry Wogan when she was a child. She was amazing answering questions on antiques.
She had a mass of blond curls then as now.

She was making up the answers with instructions from her dad. The answers were usually wrong.
