Good old Denise has never really been able to keep her opinions to herself, this time she attacked ITV and more specifically Grease Is The Word.

Denise believes that ITV were more interested in ratings than “nurturing talent” for the West End and that they did not provide appropriate care for unsuccessful contestants.

Fair enough Grease is the Word had a few minor (when I say minor I mean MINOR) celebrities in the competition but I don’t think that is worthy of the ‘nurturing talent’ comment. Yes compared to Any Dream Will Do, Grease Is The Word did look very cheesy, tacky and geared for ratings - BUT they are both reality TV talent shows, if one choses to play on it’s genre to get ratings so be it. After all it’s the people at home who are going to go and watch the musical so why not grab as many fans as you can, besides I think everyone deserves a fair crack at the whip, Z-list celebrity or not!

As for the ‘care comment’ - who knows, I do hope that all unsuccessful contestants have some sort of support - from ITV, family or friends

One has to wonder though, Denise is now staring in RENT at the Duke OF Yorks Theatre and may be appearing as a judge in Webber’s possible new talent show to find the lead for “My Fair Lady” - PUBLICITY… ANYONE?
