Wow Paramount really is a glutten for punishment. Bev has consistently underdelivered and yet they continue to promote her. Reminds me of when 2DayFM continued to stand by Gemma Fordham despite her lack of performance. Good for the business or good for optics?

This woman hates digital – she should not be Head of Streaming in any way, shape or form.

So is she responsible in any way for overseeing that hideous ad for I’m a Celebrity?

Network 10…..hmmmm! I think I watch a single program on 10? Don’t watch their news, current affairs or especially shows like The Project. Far too biased and far too left of centre. Even their imported US shows are full of not so subtle left bias to the point they are NOT watchable.
