Untitled[edit]

I removed the following paragraphs from the article as I have been unable to verify the truth or otherwise of the information contained therein:

Before TVAM Rustie fronted a band called The Rustie Lee Revue who achieved little commercial success but toured the country and some European nations. Their records are scarce and almost impossible to find now. Her love of food inspired a lot of the band's colourfully titled songs, such as "Trifle Dance (Can't Work You Out)". Rustie keeps in contact with the group and they sometimes still perform together.
From the 2005 UKIP party political broadcast: "The EU? They're havin' a laugh! Ah hahahahaha! But let's make sure it's not at our expense."
Following her return to the spotlight, rumours are abound of a re-release of her first album "Songs To Chop Pineapples To", with an impending release of the JXL remix of "A Little Less Sage & Onion" due late Summer.

The sentence at the end of this article, ("BBC presenter David Dimbleby appeared not to know exactly who she was.") seems very subjective. Can we be sure of the content's of Dimbleby's mind? And if we can, is Dimbleby's knowledge or lack thereof relevant to this article? Anyway, for these reasons I've deleted that sentence. Feel free to reinstate it if you can think of a good justification, though.

Isn't the section about her recent trip to the Carribean just an advert for her new book/TV series? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.28.92.5 (talk) 13:30, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]


I think i'm right in saying that she was sacked from the morning tv cookery spot due to product placement.. to do with lard i think.

I am being serious here btw.. i came to the entry to see if i could confirm the recollection.--Nasher (talk) 18:28, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I also came to this article after hearing about teh story of product placement on the tv qquiz show Have I Got News For You Dave

Rustie Lee and TV-am[edit]

From what I remember years ago, didn't her time at that program ended with her being sacked because of some endorsement of table salt that breached broadcasting rules. That was headline news in The Sun. This is the only source I can get hold of. Donnie Park (talk) 12:38, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment[edit]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Rustie Lee/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

The section on the trip to the Caribbean reads more like a publisher's blurb and is written (badly) in the first person. It appears to be an unattributed quote.

Real Name and Age.[edit]

Let's start with the facts and then I'll give my opinion.

Facts - Her current husband is called Andreas Hohmann and she has a son called James. https://www.theguardian.com/culture/1999/oct/28/artsfeatures https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/local-news/rustie-lee-cooks-up-a-plan-154006

James R Lees, Andreas Hohmann and Jean C Lees live(d) in the same house https://www.192.com/atoz/people/lee/rustie/dy10/1096850754/ .

Andreas Hohmann and Jeane Carole Lees have been Directors at a number of the same companies https://companycheck.co.uk/director/910681177/MR-ANDREAS-HOHMANN/companies https://companycheck.co.uk/director/913200351/MRS-JEANE-CAROLE-LEES/companies .

My opinion - Rustie Lee's real name is Jeane Carole Lees and her son has taken her real surname, so is the James Lees mentioned above.

If I'm right about her being Jeane Carole Lees, then she was born in May 1949 https://companycheck.co.uk/director/913200351/MRS-JEANE-CAROLE-LEES/summary

Note - Her year of birth was given as 1949 on here a few years back before being changed without a reason being given.

I'm sure somebody will say my theory shouldn't be reflected on her main page as the sources aren't strong enough but, let's be honest, it's pretty far-fetched to believe that Rustie is her birth name and that it's just a massive coincidence that a completely different woman living with her husband and in business with her husband has the same surname as her barring one extra "s", as does the other occupant of the house, who happens to have the same first name as her son but isn't him!

I suggest that you read WP:SYNTH and WP:OR. We don't add personal information such as that based on editors' opinions. I've undone part of Wighead2020's removal of information, but not including the improperly sourced claims of her birth name, birth date, and home. Meters (talk) 01:06, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I know I said it was my opinion but I clearly presented enough factual evidence to show I was right about her real name and age.
The fact that Rustie has said on Twitter that her birthday is in May and that her complaint on here was that her real name and age was being made public, not that it was incorrect information says it all!
Having said that, I won't make that same edit on this page again, as it has clearly caused Rustie much distress! Ron Stowmarket (talk) 05:34, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nowhere has user:Wighead2020 stated that "her real name and age was being made public". She stated that there were "incorrect entries", and "private" information. Again, read WP:OR and WP:SYNTH. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Meters (talkcontribs) 06:17, January 2, 2020 (UTC)

If you look at her edits carefully, you'll see she was only editing out info about her politics when she said she was removing "incorrect entry's(sic)". I presume she no longer supports UKIP and doesn't want people to know she used to back such a controversial political party.

When she wrote "On another page I have a different Birthday I have people wishing me Happy Birthday at different times", she was referring to the time when Wiki said she was born in November and people were wishing her a happy birthday at the wrong time. See https://twitter.com/Rustie_Lee/status/1067737503820644353

She said she was removing her real name and age because it was private; not because it was incorrect.

She couldn't possibly say she was removing that info because it was wrong because she and anyone who has clicked on the links I've provided above knows full well that it's correct!

I respect Wiki's rules and, as I've already said, I won't be editing in her real name and age again but there is clearly no doubt that Rustie's real name is Jeane Carole Lees and she was born in May 1949!

Note - This will be my last comment on the matter, so please don't write anything that may need a reply from me because I won't see it! Ron Stowmarket (talk) 12:54, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
