Kirstie Allsop Twitter abuse - bandwagon jumping?

[Ari]

Suddenly, just after the Tom Daley Twitter abuse news, up pops Kirstie "I am a celebrity you know, really I am" Allsop stating that she's also up there with Tom, getting abuse on her Twitter account and reporting it to the police.

Unfortunately the police seem not to have heard anything from Ms Allsop...

A pertinent question, to be sure!

There's a really easy way not to open yourself up to abuse from idiots on the Internet....

Why don't these idiots just hit the 'ignore' / 'block' button rather than getting straight on the phone to the old bill because some idiots are calling them nasty names?

She really is a hateful up herself person. Her husband is even worse.

I have had the misfortune to have dealings with them both. Never again. The most horrible stuck up people I have ever met.

Dom Joly was doing the whole troll of twitter thing last August and I'm sure others have highlighted it before then too.

It didn't seem to help much but he got more publicity later when someone started on his kids:

Someone also runs a twitter account that just collects up abuse aimed at him and then retweets it:

I suspect every celeb attracts similar stuff, the key is to ignore it I suppose but it does highlight how many morons there are out there with nothing better to do.

Doesn't surprise me, she certainly comes across that way.

Hope you don't get a visit from the police for saying that by the way!

That's not very fair. I imagine Dom Joly and Kirstie Allsop have plenty of better things to do.

Kept one of my cabs waiting over half an hour at their place one Saturday evening. I told them I was pulling the car out - busy Saturday and all that. "Do you know who we are? We have booked the taxi......." Yes, booked not f--king bought it!

[Oakey]

Ironically Dom Joly being the biggest troll of all. Trigger Happy TV? That wasn't trolling the public?

[rohrl]

It is just publicity seeking.

Richard "Who he?" Bacon did a programme about it too because some nitwit had been saying nasty things to him.

Really, was there any need for that?

It would appear that Kirsty does have a fan after all...!

Or maybe a relative...
