it was staged

If Marco was paid a fee, it's likely Lateysha was as well

The tax payers have every right if she and her chiold are being financed by them.

I agree Rylan was too early with his shock.

:facepalm:

Technically speaking Big Brother itself is a job

I hope she declares her income to the DWP.

I would love her to explain to them 'personal trainer' as a 'cost of living ;)

no idea ..but not working.. so who knows...

Doesn't she have a job on another reality show, the Valleys?

Yes it seems if you are not grinding out a 10 hour shift in pound land it's not real work :laugh:

It was cancelled can't imagine why.. not sure if we can post links to the mirror newspaper here (sorry full up with tonsilitus my brain is awol) lol

if you google 'valleys axed season 5' it shows a few *cough* um images of series eek...

other retail outlets are available

Well it really isn't but if that's what you want to think

Oh that's a shame for her, not my cup of tea but each to their own, I can see why she went on BB to promote herself, at least she is trying I guess to make a career for herself.

Hope you feel better soon x


:joker:

Marco was paid, it's not a stretch to think she was paid as well

She was paid 30 quid a day like the rest as far as we know.

Bb still isn't a job it's a reality gameshow regardless of what way people try to spin it.

Well you're jumping to the assumption that skint means that she's unemployed. She obviously has some source of income from being in the media and being on BB will help further that.

I don't think it's selfish that she isn't running out to get a cleaning job because she could be better off

I think it's a pretty fair assumption to make :shrug:

It is, they are paid a stipend because they are working and need to cover potential losses on their income whilst they're away from home, they sign contracts to consent to certain things and regulations in the same way you would in any regular job, and the reason it's 18+ is precisely because there are laws preventing minors working on television after a certain time and for certain lengths of time

No it really isn't....they aren't employees they don't work certain hours of each day because of course working 24 hours a day is illegal and the money they do receive is only to cover expenses its not a wage.

not too many paid (non self-employed) positions allow someone to take off an unspecified time for holidays - max is generally around 3 weeks paid holidays per annum, and since she didn't know how long she'd be in there.... :shrug:

however, she could be unemployed and not claiming JSA and contributing to her NI contributions. thing is we don't know her situation, but I do know she wasn't robbed of her chance to win and Jason owes her diddly squat.

I think you will find that anyone on a show must be paid for being shown on a tv programme and a personal performance / expenses contract negates any claims they may have if they chose to be awkward.

I thought the same thing

Me too
