I expect most of you have much better things to do than watch Celebrity Gogglebox and my post is about the programme from yesterday evening. If you watched it were any of you a bit angry over some of the remarks made about Bonny Langford? The Celebrity people were given a short piece of television to watch, what they viewed was "The Masked Dancer" where someone is covered in a costume and they have to guess who it is. Bonny Langford performed a truly energetic dance routine and all the celebrities were guessing people in their 30-40s, it got to the point where Bonny had to remove the top part of her disguise and everyone was completely taken aback that an older person could be so energetic and supple. I was upset that Anne-Marie who was paired up with Tom Jones just blurted out "Who the f**k is that I do not know who she is. I am not sure if Tom was embarrassed or not he just carried on the conversation. Also many of the celebrities were using rather a lot of F---- words which really lowered the tone of the show so I switched off. Just wondering if anyone else viewed it and what were your thoughts.
Bonnie is a musical theatre performer - of course she can dance! Anne-Marie (whoever she is ) sounds rather ignorant about her own industry Not a good look
I watched it and it occurred to me that when Anne-Marie said "who the fuck is that" and Tom Jones didn't answer, he had probably forgotten her name!
You must admit that she is pretty exceptional, in terms of flexibility, for her age. Good for her, but I too was surprised it wasn't someone younger.
Regarding swearing, it doesn't bother me. In fact I think Celebrity Gogglebox and Gogglebox itself just show how much we all swear at home (some more than others of course!), and that the TV companies bleeping words out and issuing warnings of 'offensive language' all the time is very nanny-state.
We’ve recorded Googlebox, it’s on after 9, so yes, possible swearing and the rest. Anne Marie is 30, Bonnie 56, similar difference in age my Mum and I would have been, so I would have been surprised at 30 if someone my mum’s age was being as agile as you say. That’s what we generally do when we’re younger (or did), think we’re invincible and anyone years ahead of us is over the hill. Then we reach that age and more!
Hi, everyone who replied I was not getting any replies and went off to finish a bit of gardening. Just having a catch up and loads of replies so thank-you. Anne-Marie is one of those modern singers and she was on the Voice, and usually I find her likeable. Great fashion sense as well . It was the tone of Anne-Marie's voice when she said "Who the f**k is that?" which I took offence to as she implicated that Bonny Langford was somewhat passed it which is an ageist attitude to have. Also some of these younger ones didn't think someone who is over 55 could have the energy that she had. Well done Bonny because she showed she had what it takes. Still Ann-Marie soon got over that as there were others on and she then started telling Tom Jones he doesn't swear enough and was encouraging him to use more of the f**k word
I think I will stick to watching them on something like the Voice I just found it a bit distasteful.
I really like Anne Marie she’s a singer and pairs up with Tom Jones and two others on The Voice Never heard of the Meghan lady though I don’t watch Celebrity Googlebox I find all these Celebrity things so off putting so, so avoid most of them
Bonnie Langford has been in show business for years is multi talented.. Debbie McGee is the same multi talented it’s stars like this who put so called younger celebs to shame.
I know who BL is. I haven’t a clue who AM is. I don’t know why swearing is so prevalent now and there are plenty of better words to use in normal conversation. I may be old fashio but I don’t care for it.
Anne-Marie sang on a hit record for Clean Bandit Tom Jones, everyone threw their knickers at him and he comes from Wales Bonnie Tyler is also Welsh isn't she? sang a total eclipse of her farts
I couldn't hum you one of her tunes but she was a judge on The Voice this year and was obviously so happy to be there and delighted to have been asked. She was very supportive of all the acts and her "mentee" won. She seems lovely, really.
I'm sure somebody will come along in a minute and tell me about her drugs shame, or some such thing....
