Charlotte Church revives "seafood diet" joke

Charlotte ChurchA couple of weeks ago, to try and shore up interest in her "comedy-chat show", Charlotte Church claimed she was putting on weight because she was eating crisps and junk while she was making it.

Of course, Charlotte Church is chubby in the same way that George W is an orator.

This morning's Sun starts to claim she's "piling on the weight" because she's eating double the normal number of meals:

CHARLOTTE Church is piling on weight because she eats SIX meals a day, her mum said yesterday.

Blimey. Either Chazza is a porker, or her mum is a cow, or both. Which is it?

Erm... neither, actually. It turns out rather than saying "Charlotte is putting on weight because she eats loads", her Mum was making a little joke while talking about how often Charlotte cooks for her rugby-playing boyfriend:

Maria said: “She loves feeding him. One reason she is so curvy is she eats almost as much!”

Which is hardly the same thing.

Nothing suggests that she eats six fucking meals.

“She loves feeding him. One reason she is so curvy is she eats almost as much again!” would have suggested this - or does the rugby boy eat six meals a day.

Is this deliberately getting it wrong, or just numb-nutted?

Alan, I suppose "three meals a day" would have been a bit "dogs bites man", and there was a probably a spot of newsroom inflationary auction action...
