Judy Finnigan

Sorry for duplicate post

Twiggy is the new face of L'oreal apparently. Sorry to move away from Judy.

Definitely the 'light' in which a photo's taken makes a huge difference- my university security card photo is the worse I've ever seen (even with full makeup!)
I look like the oldest, most haggard woman, barely alive and definitely with an air of desperation!

Twiggy is the new face of L'oreal apparently. Sorry to move away from Judy.

Because I think George Cloony's wife is a very attractive woman I read an article about her appearance at the Oscars ceremony. It transpired she used a makeup artist who said she used 18 products to produce the look.I think Judy Finnegan and indeed most of us would look attractive if we went through that routine every day.

Judy is a wrinkly old thing - and none the worse for that. If she does her job well, then that is fine.

Could be, harrigran although nobody in the family seems to have inherited it thank goodness.

Older celebs who wear bucket loads of make up when fronting TV programmes must dread being snapped without it.

I've seen photo's of Twiggy out shopping that made her look ancient and haggard, yet when I met her at a book signing she looked lovely. Her skin was a little dry, which she admitted herself, but she certainly wasn't the raddled old bag lady some of the press had tried to make out.

I agree - good for her. It seems that it's expected that women in media are expected to conform to an image of being young and beautiful and if they dare to look 'real', they are pounced on - something MUST be wrong with them. She's middle-aged, that's all - not all of us are sylph-like and glam.

My SIL has had essential tremor all the time I have known him, it is quite pronounced in his hands. This condition runs in families so perhaps that is what your grandmother had merlot.

Poor Judy, I remember an awards ceremony a few years back when her blouse fell open and completely exposed her "front". How embarrassing for her.

My grandmother's hands shook for all the many years I knew her. Nobody knew why. Parkinsons was ruled out and she only drank the occasional glass of sherry on special occasions. She was clever, stoical, hard working and had a great sense of humour. She lived to be 96!!

There were rumours that she was a drinker because of the shaking hands. However, I suffer quite badly with my nerves and sometimes my hands shake terribly - nothing to do with drinking.

A friend has had a tremor of the hands for years, since she was a very young woman. As far as I know she drinks very little (less than me, anyway).

I wish the media would stop following Judy around when she's merely going about her private life.

I used to watch Richard and Judy when they presented their afternoon show, particularly loved the book club slot. I don't watch tv during the day, but Judy Finnigan would always be my preferred choice of presenter over the Holly Willoughbys of this world, she has so much more gravitas than some of the fluffy headed doughnuts around at the moment.

A 'fine tremor', causing shaky hands, can start for no reason at all.

If Judy was 'often found in the media's favourite bar' then I guess a lot of other people must have been there too (it being their favourite).

Why join the present media in picking on Judy?

She always said she would never have anything done. I read an article a few years ago that said that in real life she is far prettier, the camera is not kind to her.

Kiora . Triplets born 5 years apart! She is 4 days younger than me and you are, I believe considerably younger?!! But, I know what you mean

marmight perhaps you, Judy and I are triplets, separated at birth

Perhaps she's scared (of surgery) and who's to blame her? I wouldn't go under the knife for anything that wasn't absolutely essential, would you?

KatyK "Her hands shake a lot".
Years ago in Manchester before she met RM, she was very often found in the medias favourite drinking den bar.

As a big fan of Richard and Judy, and in particular Judy, I feel sorry for her and all women who are picked on by the media and shown in an unkind way. The press are so cruel at times.

I agree with magpie and I agree that she seems to suffer with her nerves (her hands shake a lot). I don't think it helps having a younger, good looking husband. She is getting old like the rest of us and hasn't resorted to surgery (as far as we know). Good for her.

I admire Judy, she has money and could have had plastic surgery if she wanted too but chooses to grow old naturally like most of us. Richard seems to love her.
