Talk about don't speak too soon or your words will come back to haunt you, poor old Sal nearly had a mischief on the Vibrapower machine this morning. I flicked over just in time to hear her telling us how wonderful it is, easy to use, life-changing, etc. but in the blink of an eye she's struggling with the exercise bands, saying that one of them was tightened too much. Actually, it could have been nasty, as she was really struggling to keep her balance and almost fell off the machine. Of course, there were all sorts of excuses about someone deliberately tightening the band (surely nobody in the studio would be that stupid?).
Yes, we did hear a passing reference(!) to the Wedding of The Year, and how much weight she's put on since, but what annoyed me was that she then says "oh, by the way, you shouldn't use this machine if you are pregnant". Further questions to the guest male presenter then revealed that you shouldn't use it if you have high blood pressure, etc. etc. and ended with the usual "check with your doctor if unsure". It's almost done as an aside, but surely any health considerations should be (a) made clear by the presenter during the programme (not half way through) and (b) have a warning note appearing on screen during the presentation - instead of that, they mention it so casually as though it's not important, which is irresponsible.
