The bottom line is Alex is not very marketable. So the £30K IS her pay day.

She's not good looking, despite what the PC-crowd say (I laughed out allowed when BBOTs tried to make out she was as fancied as Louise). So she won't land modelling contracts - and before anyone says well she didn't want to model anyway, she is on Youtube touting herself as a glamour model. She might land a Nuts photo shoot like Corin last year, but it'd only because Louise or Faye said no.

She can't go down the professional ditzy blond route ala Helen BB2, Jade, Josie as she didn't have enough personality or storylines to sustain a memorable persona.

But Alex will get away with it as she speaks with a Geordie accent. Even if it's at fellow Geordie's expense.
