Oh yes Hedda - disgraced in the only place that matters to society these days - the media.
hedda
are you "disgraced" though JK..I always think the disgraced moniker indicates probably a most interesting person.
Whole Truth
Not celebrity VICTIM Jonathan King, but celebrity CRIMINAL Boy George O'Dowd got IN there.
On 5 December 2008, Boy George was convicted in Snaresbrook Crown Court, London, of the April 2007 assault and false imprisonment of Audun Carlsen, a Norwegian model and male escort, who initially stood for a photography session with Boy George. In their next meeting, Boy George handcuffed him to a wall fixture and beat him with a metal chain. Boy George's defence presented the effects of his long-term drug use as a mitigating factor. On 16 January 2009, Boy George was sentenced to 15 months' imprisonment for these offences.[100] He was initially incarcerated at HM Prison Pentonville in London, but was then transferred to HM Prison Highpoint North in Suffolk. He was given early release after four months on 11 May 2009. He was required to wear an ankle monitor and submit to a curfew for the remainder of his sentence.
On 23 December 2009, while he was still on licensed release from prison following an assault conviction earlier that year, Boy George had his request to appear on the final series of Celebrity Big Brother (to be broadcast on Channel 4) turned down by the Probation Service. Richard Clayton QC, representing the Probation Service, said Boy George's participation would pose "a high level of risk" to the service's reputation. Clayton argued that if he used the show to promote his status as a celebrity and earn "a lucrative sum of money" it could undermine public confidence in the criminal justice system.

Which included Matt Hancock displaying his human side; one of the more troubling things I have seen on television since Whitty & Valance proselytising over "the science"...
