Thanks for the reminder Amy - hope Davina gives Parky a telling off for his attitude towards reality tv stars. He really is too big for his boots sometimes.

[Di2001]

Will have to try and remember to watch this - or video it! Wonder if she will give any BB clues away?

[BigSister]

Thanks for the reminder

[James]

I don't like his attitude much either. He did do some good interviews in the seventies though, that were repeated quite recently.

[Amy]

Loved the Interview, he even mention BB and YES she mentioned Helen and Paul Imo the producers have always wanted another H&P experience! She spoke about Jade, BB1 and H&P! Nice to hear about her life also! She's been through a lot and still manages to smile GOOD FOR HER!

[James]

I missed it I've got it on now but it's Gordon Ramsey talking.

[rachb]

Well Done Davina
Lovely that she mentioned Paul & Helen

I just wish there was someone out there that would pick on his show,his opinion of bb is very lowand its obviuos that he's never watched any of it.
I think Davina was ready to put him straight
Its a shame it was on at the same time as Alison on stars in their eyes though.

Absolutely!
He looked as though he really did not want to mention BB! It was nice to see that Davina was very protective of BB and raved about the show

[BigSister]

Yes i cheered when she mentioned BB and H and Paul. I said to my mum "She remembers it all"
But i wouldnt beileve anything the producers say yet im waiting until the 28th of May

[blinkinlovely]

I cheered too!!!!!!!!


I thought Davina came over well and looked lovely.

All H&P details recalled. WP Davina!!

Oops I missed it! What exactly did she say about H and P??

damn I am so angry at myself!

[Romantic Old Bird]

Well, she responded to Parkies assertions that producers 'only wanted a shagfest' by strongly disagreeing. She then asked if he had seen Helen and Paul. She went on to describe their relationship developing against the odds "because Helen had a boyfriend and Paul was the cool and handsome one who thought she was ditsy".

She went on to say that the whole production team and she particularly was completely entranced.

Not sure about the 'because she was ditsy' thing after the first week or so. I think he was being honourable.

I thought Parky did his best to be patronising - 'I must have missed that' he said, smirking - but Davina was so enthusiastic it was completely wasted. You don't show someone who has the guts to bungee over the Grand Canyon and then try to discredit them!

I have been overwhelmed with admiration ever since I saw that programme.

In fact, her apparent continuing friendship with Jade did more to shake my confidence in her

All in all, it was a great 'Helen and Paul' reminder. Let's hope it spurs a few more pre, during and post BB interviews, photo's and appearances for Helen

[James]

Thanks for that ROB. Here's some pictures of Davina from the following interview:

[BusyBee]

Thanks James and ROB. OH saw Davina was on Parky and said "I suppose you will be videoing that just in case theres a Big Brother mention". As if.............

I too cheered when he finally had to mention BB. He put it off as much as he could but as soon as he did there was Davina in full flow. He couldnt shut her up. Though I dont think there is a hope in hell of him asking Jade on.

Loved the H and P recollections - she saw it exactly as we all did and summed up why a lot of us still have a very soft spot for them both. Like the description of Paul being the cool and handsome one.

All in all, it was a great 'Helen and Paul' reminder. Let's hope it spurs a few more pre, during and post BB interviews, photo's and appearances for Helen

Roll on the BB best moments show - they just have to be on that between the 'moments'. Now that I WILL have to video.

Watched Davina on Parkinson yesterday (I had videoed it!).

Excellent interview.

Loved her H & P references

[kaphc]

Aw, I didn't realise this was on and so I missed it, but I saw a pic of Davina on the cover of a mag today (can't remember which one, but could be something like OK). Apparently she has lost a lot of weight and was on the front cover looking very slim. She was never exactly chunky before, but in this pic (in a red dress) she looked really slender!

Anyone know what the heck I'm on about?

[rachb]

Kaphc I don't know which magazine she's on the front of but I thought she looked stunning when she presented the Baftas last week,maybe its the same red dress?

[kaphc]

Yes that's it rachb. She is also in heat magazine this week (well I presume so anyway, she was on the front cover of that when I looked in the newsagents today!).

She looks so glamourous! You'd never think she had two children under the age of 4!!!

[bananarama]

Sadly I missed the show too as I am not much of a fan of that stick in the mud outdated talk show host.

Like some news interviewers he is too snobbish to like anything like BB.

What he needs is Jade and the emu on the same show. With any luck he might then choose to retire.
