Gutted due to bad spelling
Wednesday July 27th, 2005

Not fair. I just got asked onto my first ‘celeb’ type programme. My agent called up and asked me about doing BBC1’s ‘Star Spell’. Yet I am abysmal at spelling, truly apaling, and I would embarrass myself tremendously. So I had to say no. Gutted. (Why couldn’t it be a numbers one? Or even a spelling numbers one - e.g. spell 109, that I could do?)

(PS., we were discussing the spelling of diarrhoea afterwards. Did you know diarrhoea is hereditary? …… it runs in the jeans)

Andrea’s note: PS., when I proofread this for Martin I had to correct 4 spelling errors but I’ve left “apaling” as I think this may have been deliberate!
