Reasons Why Gillian McKeith Really Is Pregnant

Gillian McKeith, previously known for her pooh obsession, has been the highlight of this years "I'm a Non Entity Give Me Some Money and a Bit Of Fame In Exchange For My Soul and Dignity". She bewildered, frustrated and bemused the public and her fellow "celebrities" (I mean, Aggro Santos, who?) before claiming to be pregnant and finally leaving camp. This claim of pregnancy brought chortles, scoffles, titters and the like to all those who watched... or read about it in The Sun. But not me, no sir. I'm a believer, and this is my list of reasons why:

1) You are never too old to get pregnant. Yes, Gillian is a 51 year old woman. Yes, she should have dried up years ago, and judging from her tired and slightly haggard face that could be true. However, there is proof of much older women becoming pregnant, such as the 70 year old who had twins.

2.) Lack of periods. Menopause or pregnancy? You decide.

3.) Horniness. With pregnancy your hormones are up and down and driving you crazy; sometimes crazy with lust for the most unlikely male specimens around you. Gillian went from a fragile, self absorbed woman to a purring sex kitten as she flirted with Shaun Ryder, a man who claimed: "If Gillian was my wife, she would be in pieces in a plastic bag, deep in a hole in the back garden." Lovely!


4.) Mood Swings. Gillian would be fine one minute, in tears the next. She flirted and joked with fellow camp mates but would later turn on those around her, once getting angry that Shaun Ryder would taint her vegan meal with his worm eating in a trial the day before. Erratic? Definitely!

5.) Refusal to do trials. Perhaps the maternal instinct was kicking in and the desire to protect her child from creepy crawlies, lizards and alligators was far more stronger than having popularity with the public.

6.) The pregnancy bloom (see above).

6.) Fatigue. How many times did McKeith collapse on the show? I rest my case.
