On November the 23rd 2007, Tania was asked to join in a tongue in cheek BBC
programme called Fame Junkie
It was the day of Amys husband Blakes Trial, the BBC
show thought that the press hounded Amy too much and on this stressful day they
should leave her alone.
Tania was called in to divert the attention of the paparazzi .
Along with the 2 male presenters of the show and around 10 other girls all
dressed in Amy style wigs, clothes and make up, they walked to the court
creating alot of attention. After standing in the freezing cold for an hour,
Amys car pulled up, Tania and Garren (the main presenter) ran all the way after
the car to the front entrance, only to be told she had already gone in. They
managed to talk with the driver of Amys car briefly and thought maybe she was
still in the back hiding.
The story got on the news that evening and in a few magazines including
Heat Magazine,
Tanias photo from the story above has been featured in the
Amy Winehouse biography Amy Amy Amy.
