Gone fishing

SK is in holiday. Please come back and visit next week.

Bedtime habits

For the last two nights, Sarah Kennedy MBE has been waking up at exactly 2:38am.

This is very strange, as her alarm is set for 3:45am.

SK has only once ever missed a show due to oversleeping. Somehow she managed to turn off both her alarm clocks in her sleep!

Sarah don’t like champagne.

Sarah does not have a mobile phone.

Worst canapes

SK hates cheese-and-pineapple-on-sticks.

GOSSIP - THE POEM

As performed by Sarah Kennedy MBE

My name is Gossip.
I have no respect for justice.
I maim without killing.
I break hearts and ruin lives.
I am cunning and malicious
and gather strength with age.
The more I am quoted, the more I am believed.
My victims are helpless.
They cannot protect themselves against me
because I have no name and no face.
To track me down is impossible.
The harder you try, the more elusive I become.
I am nobody's friend.
Once I tarnish a reputation, it's never the same.
I topple governments and wreck marriages.
I ruin careers and cause sleepless nights,
heartaches and indigestion.
I make innocent people cry in their pillows.
Even my name hisses.
I am called Gossip.
I make headlines and headaches.
Before you repeat a story, ask yourself:
Is it true? Is it harmless?
Is it necessary?
If is isn't, don't repeat it.

Towed

SK MBE had a very bad day yesterday. First of all, her car ('BOT') got a parking ticket. Then, it got towed away by Ken Livingstone's traffic police! It cost £250 to get it released.

Sarah has been invited to appear on the infantile BBC children's TV programme, 'Dick and Dom in Da Bungalow'(!)

Dirty knickers

Sarah Kennedy MBE is down to her last pair of knickers as she has been without a washing machine since 21 September. Luckily, a new machine arrived yesterday, courtesy of John Lewis.

Save the albatross

Sarah Kennedy MBE was here, there and everywhere last weekend.

SK says: "Pheasants are daft birds."

Ms K's old producer, Mark Simpson, has been relegated to the Steve Wright show.

For the first time, Sarah watched Strictly Come Dancing the other day. SK says she'd love to have a go at it next year.

Sarah's new washing machine is arriving today (from John Lewis).

Please support Sarah in trying to save the albatross.



CORRECTION: Sarah apologises for mistakedly claiming that Natasha Kaplinsky's "toe had falled off". It was in fact, her "toenail".

She's only gone and done it!

Sarah Kennedy got her fully-deserved MBE on Thursday.

Speaking afterwards, she said: "It's lovely to get it. It's quite undeserved really because it's programmes I love doing and I get paid for."

At the time, SK threw the letter announcing the honour in the rubbish, mistaking it for a piece of election campaigning! She retrieved if after reflecting that it was on "very expensive paper".

"I took it out and it was covered in tomato ketchup. I had to sit down I was so shocked," she said.

She said: "The Queen said she enjoyed listening to me."

Beverages

The Dawn Patrol is fuelled by hot water and lemon.

Michael Owen is a good looking man, according to our Sarah.

Sarah's tip of the day: Get your brussel sprouts on the boil now, ready for Christmas.

Traffic

Last Friday, SK left the studio, as per normal, at 7:40am. Normally she gets back to Kennedy Towers for Ken Bruce, but this time she got back at...
... 2pm! This was due to water spilt on the roads of London.

Also last Friday, Sarah Kennedy MBE went to the Post Office Tower for an ITV birthday bash. Vanessa Feltz and Natasha Kaplinsky ('lost a toe during Celebrity Dancer Programme) were there too. SK's Dearly Beloved is not into the celeb thang, but he loves 'Maggie from Extras' and got talking to her!

She's back!

SK is back! With stained red feet! From crushing grapes for wine in Portugal! For Children in Need!

After one particularly busy day of grape crushing, Sarah Kennedy MBE woke up to find her bed covered in pips.

The grapes go up to one's bikini line.

When Sarah gets ready for the newspaper review she listens to... Radio 3!

New photo! Paddington sandwich

Here is a lovely photo of Sarah Kennedy MBE at the Hampton Court Flower Show.



She is the one in the middle, between Paddington Bear and the man who gave birth to that bear, Michael Bond.
