BB, I may be the world's greatest cynic, but my thoughts exactly.
In fact I'll go one further.I remember when she was chosen for Popstars saying 'she is a huge mistake'. OK she can sing, but she has trouble written all over her.
I think Jack Ryder was happened upon, and singled out for his celebrity couple status. He has slipped into obscurity, Kym's record is out, so now she has a double chance to move on (she'll probably be the Patsy Kensit of singers) to someone with a higher profile AND get the ensuing publicity of the tragedy of their split up.
The other alternative is that she and Jack have agreed to do this to bump up publicity anyway, and may get back together (more publicity, more OK shoots)
Either way, we're talking about her again.
I know women deserve the same chances as men, but the way she seemed to put her children on hold for her career didn't sit well with me.
OK, got that off my chest, feel better for it!
I know which couple I prefer......
