YoungWillz 18,931 Posted November 13, 2021 Not enough news on Jo Whiley in a whiley. Yes, the crap you pick up when researching potential dead pop stars. Reported earlier in this thread about having her phone swiped, she's also fallen ill for a couple of weeks for open water swimming (because British rivers are renowned for their clarity and purity) and also moaned about going through the menopause while her radio show was being criticised. All within a year. Death by selfie for 2022? You decide. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
