    There are so many things wrong with this story. "I'm a celebrity" star (is she - I've never heard of this so-called "celebrity"?). His gambling addiction started when he played for Barnsley! He's got kids called Rocky and Striker (wonder if the lad will become a Trade Union leader, or a goalkeeper!). Deary me.

    But beneath all that there is a good point in the story - the way that Gambling companies can now advertise in ways that Tobacco companies used to and alcohol is no longer allowed. You cant watch a football match on commercial TV without betting commercials being thrown at you left right and centre.

    Oh and no I hadnt heard of her either - there was a time it helped to have stunning looks to be a model ...

    I see gambling adverts everywhere- doesnt make me want to gamble


    I see adverts for alcohol everywhere- again it doesnt make me want to become an alcoholic



    Its my choice.I don't blame these advertising companies.Maybe the football people throwing daft amounts in wages at average footballers should take a look at themselves.
