I should declare a conflict of interest having just read this lot. Jo is actually a mate of Mrs. Vince and although she may be media savvy in a way some might not be too keen on, some of the comments on here regarding her family are poor form. You all know your own minds and opinions, but perhaps asking yourselves "would i be comfortable making this comment in real life?" might be worth doing.

Just my 2p worth.
Whether people would be willing to confront her in public makes no odds to whether or not she is being a socially irresponsible ignoramus.

As for your defence of her private opinions, perhaps if she kept them private this wouldn't be an issue?
There's always a train of though that suggests if you make a living (or an income) from making your life very public, then you open yourself up to public hatred, or at least open discussion and criticism, much in the same way as many so called celebrities enjoy all the public adoration.
Whether this is fair or not, who knows, but it does seem the way of the world now days.
If someone wanted not to have derogatory remarks about their private life, then they shouldn't plaster it all over instagram, Facebook and various other types of social media
Unfortunately, as much as I like JoJo, she's made her own bed in terms of people either liking or disliking the manner in which she sees treatment for her child's illness. If you don't want it discussed, keep it private
Personally, I enjoy seeing pics of her on the bike with low cut tops on and tight trousers, but the rest doesn't concern me

Are you on the same forum as me? Lots of childish behaviour in the one I'm reading.

Like the coming out of the Stig.
I like his video's, so hopefully they'l continue
Reckon he'd be a better top gear presenter than the three they've currently lined up too wink

I like BvG's videos, but surely that video is a mistake? His whole USP is his anonymity and being just a normal bloke. That just comes across as really arrogant and pompous.

I don't get it either.
Cos these ones whinging above are the online dicks he's talking about. So they're offended.

There's really no need to be so sensitive, it's an opinion and I will probably keep watching.

I guess probably because he says its a big thing and awkward....so then makes a big long video about why he's doing it like anyone is that bothered lol.

Should have just one day done normal interviews. Making a one off video does shout attention we IMO.

Delusion of grandeur... He has a fan Base and congratulations for what he has achieved but that interview was so far up his own arse it was unbearable.

Start it with a wking joke, are you ten, stop watching American Pie.

He goes on like he is now famous, spouting similarities between his personal freedom being intruded upon like stars in the public light. Really....

Whilst no doubt he has an audience he's on public TV appealing to a tiny minority. Have some humility.

He won't read this nor care as "I don't read forums" full of nuggets...what ones does he go on..I'd be quite happy to say what I've just written (people wouldn't dare say it to his face) to him if I see him at oulton or likewise in the future.

When it turned all Michael aspel I turned off. The kiss arsing this is your life moments. You took your gsxr off road to get an interesting video, well done, it was funny. Don't try to paint a picture of this is how wacky you are.

I like his video's and always have, he has a good voice and can put stuff across well without sounding boring or a wker.

I posted a picture of him on this thread 2 years ago so don't know why people are surprised to see his face.

I say this though, reading though some of the earlier comments on this thread makes a lot of you lot look like complete whining tossers.

He's just a normal looking bloke. (a bit effeminate with being from the south I suppose)

The thing with Youtube videos, is that unlike TV, it doesn't just come on after songs of praise, so the choice as to whether to watch it or not is entirely with the person sat on his or hers laptop who has to either subscribe or go looking for it
Personally, I like his videos, and am indifferent really about whether he shows his face or not, but if you don't like it, don't go looking for the video's

I don't think he came across like that at all. He obviously does have a large fan base and for the people that subscribe to his videos, this is going to be pretty big news. The thing he was complaining about is that he was being stalked (by some here and elsewhere) as if he were a celebrity when clearly he isn't and never saw himself that way.

From now on he and Al Fagan are going to be interviewing all sorts in the biking world and before he can do that, he has to put all the weird stuff regarding his identity to bed. What better way than get a mate to ask you the difficult questions? I applaud him for taking it all in his stride and not having been put off by all the internet jerks that sometimes seem to outnumber the normal people.

Personally I find him funny and engaging although I find all that jizz machine stuff puerile. Luckily he seems to have grown up a little over the past year, so things are on the up. If you don't like him, you're free not to watch.
