She is often known to aid Piers in his schemes, in return for a cut of the profits, including filming Stanley Dawkins's "pregnancy" (which turns out to be a 2oz gallstone) for a live television broadcast; selling homemade booze; and arranging a stripper for Piers' cousin's stag night. She later reveals that her nasty behaviour towards Piers is "one of two things that gets her out of bed". Piers often compares her to the Wicked Witch of the West from "The Wizard of Oz" and likens her to a female version of Hannibal Lecter.
