For me the turning point was not really pantsgate.
It was Denise's brilliantly timed perfomance in the diary room.
Manipulative Denise who said she went in the house to be taken more seriously as an actress, really delivered.
That
"I feel so old" line along with the fake tears, she probably had that one in her pocket for the whole 3 weeks and timed her delivery to perfection.
Women all over the country will have had their heart strings tugged as they looked at their Tim Healey lookalike hubby, snorring in the easy chair, while the kids they can no longer control ran wild in their bedrooms.....
Bottom lips a quiver, and wondering where it all went wrong, Denise had you all reaching for the phone........nice one Denise deserved a BAFTA.
