Alison Young

[lynnonthelake]

Has anyone read today’s newspaper article where she is telling us what it’s like to live with her chronic health issues,I honestly had no idea it was that bad, also didn’t realise she is 55 interestingly Qvc have admitted that she has shifted 78,000 Elemis skincare sets in one day worth an estimated £1.8 million

Knew she was mid 50s. Years back Jill Franks mention her own age and said she was the same age as AY.

Which newspaper? She had thyroid problems for years I know.

 

[faerie]

I knew she had health issues, think they have been mentioned on here before

I wouldn’t say she shifted those sets on her own though? I buy the set regardless whose selling it, more often than not on presale …who gets the kudos for those sales then?

 

[Dream Girl]

Does it mention having help of her husband?

What does it say? I'm always unsure when I hear about people airing their problems in public. Is she fund-raising for a charity, raising awareness, what?

 

[loveallthingsitalian]

Or blowing her own trumpet (out of her ****)

Where is the article?

 

[lynnonthelake]

I believe it was the Daily Express but I read it on her Instagram page.

I think I found it on Pressreader but I can't post a link, for some reason. Try googling "alison young" "qvc" "chronic" and you should get what I got.

It was in the Daily Express and Daily Mirror.

The photograph was at least 10/15 years old

No one wants to be ill do they but whining to the Daily Record? Really? Slow news day obviously.
I'm sorry Alison Young has health issues but I'm not sure the nation needs to hear about it.

That is a fair old list, and most are very unpleasant to live with.

 

[Dame Fondacox]

I feel for anyone who has to live with constant pain. I'd no idea she suffered with those conditions. I've never understood the appeal of sports such as horse-riding, skining, motorcycle racing etc. Oh and I'm sure it's AY's birthday on Friday, not that she ever acknowledges it, and that will make her 56.

 

[Brissles]

To be fair, I've never heard her mention her issues on air, unless its a broken bone through horse riding. Whereas Queen Julia ....................

Well yes I agree and its not a competition but I have some pretty unpleasant ailments myself but I don't need to put it in the papers or waffle on about it at my job.

I think the article is more to push her book, and they put in her health problems as well, though she must have mentioned been happy to tell them all about them. Though no mention of her thyroid which was the first problem she had going back? I remember members here saying when she put on the weight her thyroid must be unbalanced, and they had not got her levels sorted. This went on for a number of years.

She still keeps saying on air about mucking out the horses and doing other stuff on her farm. So she must have staff to be able to do that and not on her own as she makes out on air.

Mrs. Ordinary, I get the idea she is trying to compete with Caroline Hirons with the no airs and graces approach.

Or don't.

Sorry you didn't get it because for some reason I couldn't post that particular link but it is still the first link (pressreader) that appears so thanks to loveinamist for posting the actual link. Don't know why it wouldn't let me do it first time round.

It irks me to see articles for self-publicity that glorify mini z-list slebs who are still able to fund lifestyles that most people can't, particularly as so many of these nameless people suffer in silence. Usually these articles have some element of contradiction in them as donna pointed out.

I feel for anyone with ongoing health problems. I like Alison and wish her well.
