Did anyone see the half-page piece about Ms. McCall in the Mail?
The Mail is somewhat unhealthily obsessed with women it sees as 'toned' or 'ripped', it's online sidebar features dozens of them every day - http:// www.dai lymail. co.uk/h ome/ind ex.html
so it was thrilled to show a large picture of Ms McCall in a bikini showing her 'toned abs' blah blah blah.
The 'news piece' concerned Ms McCall's weepy social media message about 'lonliness' over Christmas and her fans' concern for her well-being.
So why does the Mail devote a half-page of its newspaper to a shouty TV presenter who looks like a nylon bag full of spanners? Because (and it mentions it of course!) she has a new exercise DVD on release that day!!!
We really do get the media we deserve.

And you apply the same principle in reverse ... saying things about people behind their back that you would never say to their face, happy in the sure knowledge that it would never come to their attention - and not really giving a monkey's if it did. //
If you think posting an observation about someone famous is the equivalent of saying things behind their back, then I repeat my earlier observation - you are in the wrong communication medium.
I have not intentionally sought to upset or offend Ms McCall, if I find I have, and she wishes to address that with me, I am happy to do so.
But this is standard internet stuff, as I have also said before, the equivalent of a pub bar conversation.
You really are taking all this far too seriously!
