"#REMAIN Sorry but #KETTERING where are you" she tweeted
in derision at this obvious example of Nowheresville UK, the kind of insular backwater
that would turn its back on the wider world.
Amazing to think that the Herbie: Fully Loaded star was
capable of such insight. Clearly a lot
better informed than many suspected.
But trust good old Philip Hollobone to bristle at the slur, demanding
in Parliament that the offending celeb, best known recently for
extended spells in rehab, drug violations and sundry other felonies, “redeem
her political reputation” by switching on the town’s Christmas lights.
Anyway, on hearing of this she agreed. Then forgot
about it 5 seconds later and fired off another tweet about Syria or something.
Months passed. Kettering
BC waited patiently for her people to get in touch to firm up arrangements. Nothing.
Phil tried to help but admitted “it’s simply not been possible to track
her down”. Always a challenge when
dealing with someone so famously reclusive and publicity shy.
Could it be that she was really going to disappoint her
legions of blank eyed teenage fans in NN15, and pass up the opportunity to flick
the festive switch?
Sadly, yes.
Luckily there’s a happy ending to this shallow celebrity
tale. KBC reached deep into its book of
contacts and pulled out an absolute cracker who, by a happy coincidence, was
already booked to appear in the local panto!
Who needs Hollywood when you’ve
got this kind of glamour!!
