Nice one! The Sun managed to get through an article about them without resorting to open insults. Just an overall sniffyness about P&H 'cashing in on fame'

Interesting that the Lorraine prog isn't quite as daft as we thought. Helen has been pictured at two door ways in recent weeks, neither of which was this one. Very tasteful I must say.

A couple of things spring to mind. Firstly, just who are all these 'pals' so willing to pass on info and locations to the press? This report is relatively restrained by the Sun's standards. Could this have been an organised and approved by P&H 'leak' of info to scotch wedding rumours?

Secondly, what is all this caution and seeing if you can live together first business? These should just dive in and seize the moment. I got married 7 months to the day after meeting OH. Have I any regrets? Not really. Lots of 'I wonder ifs', admittedly. How could I regret my two boys, and all the happy times we had as a young family? Tears and joy, mostly joy. You've got to take risks sometimes, and then take the consequences, and make it work.

Which one of the two do we think is being the more cautious?

As long as it works out, I don't really mind. However before I return to the rat race, it would be nice if they would just get on with it, so that I can heave a sigh of relief, and say:

MY WORK HERE IS DONE!

Will you two stop being sensible and just flaming well get married!!!!!!!

This got a mention on Capital Radio this morning too.

Remarkably positive for a Sun article I felt too. Yes, there was the 'cashing in on fame' thing, but it was slipped in and the editor possibly felt the article needed supplemented with a few stock phrases. At least they are only being accused of cashing in on their fame, not their relationhip which is as much as we can reasonably expect.

I too wonder who these "friends" are. I suspect they are in fact the estate agents, as they seem to know a great deal about how much was paid for the house, and how much it was on the market for. And of course they used the estate agent's photo of the gaff.

The item is a bit money obsessed, but at least they are recognising that they are earning now from doing actual proper work, such as being on tv, or designing bits of car doors. They seem to have finally recognised Helen is not actually a hairdresser anymore.

Overall, the pair might be annoyed their front door has made the national press, but the piece does have the benefits of confirming to the nation that yes they are still together and getting on with their lives like normal people after their unusual experiences. Some people might only remember them for the sentational headlines, which are not how anyone wants to be known.

Poor downstairs neighbours - Now the press have finally located the site of the love nest there's bound to be the odd scurrilous photographer hanging around. This will no doubt be highly annoying, so perhaps if we club together we could take the premises off their hands. I'm sure we could knock even more than £5,000 off the asking price - especially if we threaten them with Dominic Mohan!

It does occur to me, that in mentioning Helen is now working on Sky TV, someone has remembered she is effectively employed by the same people, so it is bad form to be rude. Let's hope this lasts - they and their readers loved her last July and August. Now they've brushed their embarassing bad-call over the intentions of Paul under the carpet, they might be considering raising her profile in time to use her again for the new BB. If she's stays in her current job, or anything in tv she'll need to use the press effectively to maintain her public image.

Oh, it also occurs to me that The Sun are doing that celeb bingo thing. Anyone with Helen as one of their E-list celebs should score 2 points for an article featuring a photo. :flower:

Thanks for posting that, monie & chilledbootz.

Although all the TiBB babes who were on the recent virtual trip to Hadley Wood already knew what Helen & Paul's new house looked like - didn't we! :laugh:

And I have to agree with Feefs that, for an article in the Sun, it was remarkably civil and acknowledged that Helen had moved on to new projects. Formerly referred to as 'dizzy Welsh hairdresser', it's nice to at last see them now calling her a 'health and beauty reporter on Sky TV'. They've obviously done their homework at last! :spin2:

This is what teletext online had to say about it


Big Brother lovebirds Helen Adams and Paul Clarke are reported to have bought a £360,000 love nest. The couple, whose unconsummated affair on the Channel 4 show had viewers gripped, are said to have snapped up a two-bedroom flat in Barnet, North London. Adams, 23, has gone from being a hairdresser to a health and beauty reporter on Sky TV. And Clarke has returned to designing cars with a a firm in Essex.


Spot the deliberate addition from The Sun?

Clue: the word has FIVE syllables, and begins with uncon and ends with summated. :spin2:

Do you think one of use should tell them they don't need the "reported" and "are said". Anyone would think the people on teletext didn't read heat? (or this forum)
