Jaywick: Joe Swash's aunt tells of her pride
12:42pm Thursday 18th December 2008
THE aunt of Joe Swash, winner of the TV show 'I'm a celebrity, get me out of here!' has spoken of her pride in her nephew.
Kate Palmer, who lives in Jaywick said: “He was always destined for great things.”
She said she was “as proud as a peach” to hear of her nephew's win on the show.
The 26-year-old actor braved bush tucker trials including eating a crocodile penis and spending three minutes in a pitch-black hole surrounded by rats and eels during the show.
Mrs Palmer said: “To me there was no doubt he was going to win.
“Everyone was supporting him, it was incredible.”
She thought that Joe's personality had come through to viewers of the show, winning him the popular vote.
“He is a cheeky chappy, and lovely with it. He is such a nice chap.
“I was very proud of how wise he was during the time he was there. For his young years, he is quite wise,” she said.
Mrs Palmer has not yet spoken to her nephew, as he went straight back to work, rehearsing for pantomimes.
But she said: “I am absolutely over the moon. I am ecstatic for him.”

while your walking on water of the coasts of clacton and frinton,
you just might bump into another non story about 2 councillors who have jumped ship somewhere between jaywick and frinton.
if anyone needed spirital guidance, of whatever distillery type, the 2 lame ducks from the big pond of golf green are in bad need vicar.
save our souls bring a multitude of misconceptions from at least the lost chair of tendrings council as he sees ship jumping almost as a required hobby since 2002..
oh, the life on an ocean wave, tiddly tiddly um pum pum...

Whatever happened to fun & games,
crazy and franky have silly old names..
some easye fun and games
are played calling names
its played by some boozers
who lost when just loosers
crazy`s and frank`s best
their the but of my jest
to win some not losing
as the odd couple chosing
the ideal man voted best
its even ivan, ian or a test
jaywick needs its leader
not a seaside boozing geezer
to sort out residents life lines
that covers the good and bad times
for`ol franky and crazy
are both lost or rather hazy
from too much beer swigging
caused by ivans constant digging
the answer is so simple
its so easye and free
stop your life wasting
you wont beat ol easye.
happy-merry-yuleloge

Well if that's the most important news item in Tendring today we might as well form an orderly line and wait our turn to step off the end of Clacton pier.
