Orlaith McAllister, having failed again to be voted out of the Big Brother house, has finally left of her own volition.
Like everything else she's done, this was a calculated career move designed to attract maximum attention.
She's probably the only person in the world who wants to be the next Abi Titmuss.
Most amusing, though, was her reason for walking off the show. She just knew, she said, that her dad would not be pleased if she stayed in the company of Derek - the black, hoity-toity Tory - who spent most of the time ridiculing her.
Good ole Pops McAllister, that's all I can say. There's a man with standards. An orgy in the jacuzzi, snogging with Makosi, constant nudity on live nationwide TV ? But it's some bitchy remarks from Derek that simply cannot be tolerated.
It must have been wonderful for Orlaith to know that when Pops shouted "Don't think you're going out in that get-up!", he meant it.
Orlaith's followed her BB exit with the predictable kiss-and-tell and nude photoshoot with a Sunday rag. Hers is a lacklustre tale of C-list celebs. She had sex at least 20 times in two days with Calum Best ? oh and Brian McFadden chatted her up.
Orlaith's favourite topic of conversation is how famous she's going to be after BB.
Of course, she will get some sort of afterlife. There's talk of a presenting job with Playboy channel.
She says she needs to come home to Belfast "to work on my mental stability".
Mind you, apart from the odd niteclub appearance fee, I can't see her picking up that much work here.
She's hardly likely to be the new face of Dunnes.
I suspect we've quite literally seen all there is.
