I'm not really a Josie fan, but I do believe that she will go through with the deal!
IMO, she's not a 'bad lass', and realises that there's nothing to lose by buying Steve his hearts desire. On the contrary, it would only harm the publics perception of her if she gave back-word!...Not that I believe that this is the only reason that she will buy the leg!
As I said earlier, though I truly believe that Josie is 'the ultimate BB11 gameplayer', who's game was easily good enough to have won most of the BB series,....she is not a heartless individual, and would have helped Steve out even without the barrage of publicity that will erupt if there turns out to be a public handover organised by her publicist!

If she did we would have read it in one of the papers i should imagine.

Why can't Steve buy his own legs? Why is he ALWAYS so relient on others. Benefits and now handouts ... ?

Clearly the Government has the moral duty and responsibility to provide injured ex servicemen with the prosthetics they need, and I would have thought no right minded person would begrudge that to men and women who risk their lives to defend this country. The legs that are being talked about are Ł30,000 each which are clearly top of the range legs which are not provided by the Government, just as any other equipment from the NHS is usually serviceable and fit for purpose, but never top of the range.

And why would you assume he claims benefits anyway? He has an army pension. If, however, he WAS claiming benefits rather they went to him than some scrounging deadbeat parents who've never done a days' work in their lives, and do nothing but produce brats others have to pay for.

I hope she gets Steve his legs to honour what she said but John James does not strike me as a loyal or particularly caring person.

The show to him was just that,a show, as to, I think kazanne is it, who said they thought Josie would an independent woman but then wasn't which put them off her.
She seemed to be at first but once John James got his claws into her, she more and more came across as very vulnerable indeed so my feeling is and it may only be my view,that in order to please this awful person,Josie will actually agree to anything he wishes.

He seemed to change Josie completely in the house and not sadly for the better.

What gave you the impression that John James was not a loyal person? Also what makes you think that he would tell Josie not to give that money? Has something leaked somewhere saying this or is just that you don't like him there fore if Josie doesn't follow through it must have been evil John telling her not to?

[roddyj]

I did say, it was just my feelings and my views. I do think however that John James came across very shallow in the house and that he used people.
It is only my view and I do not wish to upset anyone who liked John James,never the less I am entitled to my view.

You are correct though to assume I don't like John James,I have never had any time for men who pick on Women,even less so when they do it where it can be seen publicly.I also didn't see any great rapport with him and Steve either in the house.

You like John James and I respect that,as I said it is just my own view and my own feelings.

well tbh I don't have major feelings towards John James either way. I'm just saying what I see. First off do you not think it was more of a case of Josie picking John James up rather than the other way around? The way I remember it John James wanted to wait till after they left the house to see how they felt about eachother but Josie kept pushing it on him.

and secondly whether he had any kind of rapport with Steve or not is hardly the issue as it's Josies money to give away, not his!

[Niamh.]

and another thing, If John James is just going to dump Josie once the mag deals dry up anyway, as is what most of the anti-John James people say, why the hell would he even care what she does with her winnings?

[roddyj]

It seems I have annoyed you somewhat and for that I am sorry.
I respect that you like John James and so I will comment no more on Steve's legs isuue,
however I notice you like Brian Dowling so I agree with you on that, it was great to see him win Ultimate BB. A very deserved winner.

well, It's not that I loved John James, I thought he was one the best HMs but I thought it was a poor year tbh. What annoys me is people pulling these assumptions about things that they think he might do out of thin air!!

And yeah, Brian is my favourite HM of all time, was delighted he won!!

Cheers. It's nice to hear the facts from an insider who obviously knows all the ins and outs first hand.

This is what you said in a thread yesterday. Now why are you starting a thread about someone who doesnt "impinge" on your world in any sort of way.

Stop being so negative and admit you just love bitching

This is a completley rediculous thread with you just assuming something you think is correct actually IS correct

Did you actually check the date the thread was started? No I thought not - SIX MONTHS AGO sweetie. You're the one who has trawled through ancient posts to try and have a pop at me - I'm beginning to think you have an unnatural obsession with me now

Now you mention it, as far as I'm aware Steve is still hopping around waiting for his new leg because you certainly don't know the answer now do you?

Thanks for reminding me about this as I must tweet Steve and see if motormouth Josie has actually fulfilled her promise to buy him his leg

Oh yes, please do I am also intrigued to know if she has.

I've just tweeted Steve and if our little friend above would care to do so himself the Twitter address is @SteveTheBaron. If I get a reply, I will copy and paste it on here. I really hope she has kept her promise - on top of all her other shortcomings, surely reneging on one she made in front of millions on national television will just make me despise her even more than I already do.
