10 Times Entitled Celebs Got Humbled

10 Times Entitled Celebs Got Humbled

Welcome to WatchMojoUK, and today we’re looking at times the rich and famous were brought down a peg or two.

The Property Ladder

In 2022, Kirstie Allsopp got in hot water after she said that all you need to do to buy a house is cancel Netflix, stop going to the gym, and stop drinking coffee. But how did Allsopp herself get on the property ladder, you might be wondering? She was helped by her father, the 6th Baron Hindlip, of course. She blames the lavish lifestyle of having a monthly Netflix subscription, which costs £192 a year at the highest tier in 2025. With average house prices coming to £269,000, cancelling Netflix will get you a 10% deposit in only 140 years! Suffice it to say, Allsopp was immediately called out for this and eventually quit Twitter completely because she couldn’t take the heat.

Rolls-Royce

There’s a reason Victoria Beckham was nicknamed Posh Spice. While she doesn’t have an aristocratic background – which has recently changed since, following David’s knighthood, she’s now “Lady Beckham” – she did grow up well-off. So well-off that her father, an engineer, famously drove a Rolls-Royce. This came about during a talking head while filming “Beckham” for Netflix, which you won’t have been able to watch if you took Kirstie Allsopp’s house-buying advice, where Victoria tried to say she also came from a difficult, working class background. David stuck his head around the corner and immediately called her out, until she admitted that her supposedly blue collar dad’s car was a Rolls.

Molly-Mae’s Work Ethic

We all have the same twenty-four hours in a day, don’t we? What’s stopping YOU from starting your own business and working on it non-stop to make it a success? That’s what Molly-Mae Hague did, after all, after she’d already become semi-famous by becoming a beauty queen and then turning up on “Love Island”. She made this statement on “Diary of a CEO”, saying that people only have themselves to blame if they’re not successful – never mind that the reason she got any success was because of that “Love Island” appearance. This went viral for all the wrong reasons, leading to people editing her Wikipedia page to call her “Molly-Mae Thatcher” in response.

The Expenses Scandal

What could be more entitled than British MPs thinking they deserve to claim a fortune in expenses from the public purse for whatever they feel like? When this scandal broke in 2009, the papers wasted no time printing lists of the most absurd claims MPs had made, with some of them actually getting criminal convictions for their actions. Some of the claims included a £9000 television; a £1600 duck house; and a £2000 moat – though the MP claiming for the moat, Douglas Hogg, as that the Telegraph was wrong about that claim. Dozens of politicians resigned, their political careers ending in disgrace, after taking advantage of the expenses system to commit fraud, dodge taxes, and generally behave badly.

Ramsay’s Porsche

Gordon Ramsay’s been a top TV chef for decades now, so it’s not surprising that he has the cash to buy luxury sports cars, like his beloved Porsche 911. He was talking on a podcast about a time he asked his father-in-law, Chris Hutcheson, for twenty grand so he could put down a deposit on a house. Hutcheson refused the loan and instead told Ramsay to sell his Porsche, which he did. Ramsay was widely mocked for saying he was completely skint and then admitting to owning such an expensive car, though he did at least take the advice to heart. Maybe he should have put down a deposit before buying a car in the first place.

Banned from Balthazar

While James Corden still tries to put out a down-to-earth image, nobody’s actually believed that for years. He’s become notorious in entertainment for all sorts of things, including trying to give the writing staff on The Late Late Show pay cuts – though this wasn’t confirmed. What WAS confirmed, however, was his restaurant outburst, in which he was so rude to the staff at Balthazar in New York that the owner banned him. Once this became public knowledge, Corden apologised, and seems to have behaved himself in restaurants since. Following the apology, his ban was lifted, but it remains a career-worst moment for Britain’s most obnoxious comedian.

Nottingham Cottage

While Prince Harry and Meghan Markle eventually moved into Frogmore Cottage, the ten-bedroom house in the grounds of Windsor Castle that was supposedly too small for William and Kate, before that, they were in Nottingham Cottage. This house was, according to them, far too small, with low ceilings and only two bedrooms. But to most people, this sounds like a completely reasonably sized house for a young couple; it even has a garden, which millions of people in the UK living in small terraces or flats don’t have. Suffice it to say, this was something else the Sussexes were mocked for – though, at least they paid back the millions spent on renovating Frogmore.

The Queue

While much of the attention around the queue to see the Queen lying-in-state was on Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby for allegedly queue jumping, there was another group of queue jumpers who also faced public scrutiny: MPs. MPs and peers were allowed to skip the queue and bring up to four guests each, bypassing the public. We can see why THEY didn’t want to queue with the plebs, but at the end of the day, it wasn’t like they had anything better to do. The entire country and government was shut down for ten days for the period of national mourning, so they definitely had the time to queue. They were criticised by the public and trade unions over this.

Custard Pie

Piers Morgan thinks he’s entitled to say whatever he wants with no repercussions, but that turned out to be untrue after a fateful interview with beloved comedian Harry Hill. To rewind, earlier in the week Morgan had courted controversy once again by criticising Daniel Craig’s decision to wear a papoose, saying on Twitter that using one leaves men emasculated. It was truly bizarre to get riled up about men carrying their own children, though two years later he admitted that his complaints were “pointless”. That wasn’t before Harry Hill smashed him in the face with a custard pie on live TV, though, roundly humiliating him.

Wagatha Christie

What’s more humbling than being ordered to pay £3 million in legal fees because you claimed somebody had libelled you, but actually, they were telling the truth? Very few things, we imagine, but Rebekah Vardy found this out the hard way. The case was eventually thrown out, but not before it was largely proven that Coleen Rooney’s investigation was watertight, and that it almost definitely had been Vardy – or someone working for Vardy with access to her socials – who was selling stories to The Sun the entire time. Coleen’s come out smelling of roses, with book deals and documentaries, while Vardy has been fighting with the courts over reducing her damages payments. She’s been refused.

Let us know in the comments which humbling moments we forgot.
