The funeral of Queen Elizabeth II has already gone down in history as a once-in-a-lifetime event, with huge praise reaped on both the organizers and the tireless broadcasters coordinating events and beaming them across the world. All except…
Two Australian commentators, Tracey Grimshaw and Peter Overton, working for the Channel Nine network were clearly caught on the hop as they were tasked with naming the high-profile arrivals at Westminster Abbey for the State Funeral service of Her Majesty.
Having announced the likes of US President Joe Biden, French premier Emmanuel Macron and other world dignitaries, they presumably thought their work was done, until a couple appeared out of their vehicle at the front of the Abbey and made their way inside.

She's frequently photographed in her underwear and even less these days, but years ago, a young Miranda Kerr was quite a bit more modest.
When the Aussie model was just a budding beauty at age 14, she was interviewed by reporter Tracy Grimshaw after winning a modeling competition.
Asked if she would turn down any gigs, she replied, "I won't be doing any lingerie shots or anything like that."
In another clip featured on Australia's "ABC Family Confidential," the 30-year-old former Victoria's Secret Angel's father admitted he wasn't so keen on her marrying Orlando Bloom, saying, "I'd heard the name... I'm not one for movies. After what I know now I would rather she did just marry a nobody because you really can't get that family time by yourself."...

For 15 days in 2006, the world watched the Beaconsfield mine disaster unfold in the media. This time, the team behind Beaconsfield: The Telemovie go 925 metres below the surface to truly reveal the claustrophobic terror. Colin Delaney goes on location, to the coalface.
Entering the site, it’s pitch black and damp. Small white spotlights illuminate the darkness but only so far. Moving closer to the source it’s clear – the lights are headlamps on the workers, also dressed in day-glo vests. It’s ‘safety first’ down here and just as a mine should feel, but Encore is on a film set.
In a large abandoned warehouse in Yarraville, Melbourne all the light has been shut out. Once the eyes adjust it’s evident it’s no longer a factory. In the centre of the shed is a long and high timber framework with scaffold and black fabric draped around it...

Following his ill-advised tirade on Australian television personality Tracy Grimshaw, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay issued an apology for referring to Grimshaw as a “lesbian” and a “pig.” While many feminists could do without Ramsay, especially after that incident, out Hell’s Kitchen winner Heather West thinks we should give him a break.
For those who don’t remember the controversy, on June 5, Ramsay told a large audience that Grimshaw was "a lesbian," according to the Sunday Herald Sun. Apparently, he didn’t say it in a positive way:
When the crowd reacted with gasps, he said, "What? I'm not saying she's a dyke," using a slur for gay women. Ramsay also showed a picture of a woman — who appeared to be naked — on her hands and knees with the features of a pig and multiple breasts. "That's Tracy Grimshaw," he told the audience. "I had an interview with her yesterday.

Gordon Ramsay has insisted that he does not deserve the backlash he has suffered in recent months. The celebrity chef found himself at the centre of a press frenzy last year after he was accused of cheating on his wife Tana with Sarah Symonds, who he met at a nightclub in 2001.

I don't walk round with a halo, but, then, I've never claimed to. And, yes, these last months have had me asking: 'Am I really as horrendous a person as people seem to think?'
