She has a lot of time on her hands lately, and her Facebook status explains why : “about to do an interview, still unemployed” it reads.

Kimberley said she didn’t even name the company she was working for and can’t understand the reaction, but her ex-boss, Stephen Ivell, said he was disappointed and that she had to go.
