Colleen's Real Scouse Accent

Meant to write about this last week, but I wanted to mention how fantastic Colleen's Real Women is.  Firstly, I think the concept is fantastic about challenging Model and Ad agencies' perception of "real" women and trying to get brands to use more realistic body figures to promote their goods.
 
Secondly, how completely won over by Colleen I was.  For all her coverage, etc. she is no polished, experienced media dahling - she looked positively scared shitless by the tall, attractive professional from Petty Polly in the first episode - they were polar opposites, both in terms of opportunities in life and how they had got where they were.  Everything about Colleen was genuine, even her mistakes, and she won my admiration for putting herself out there.
