Must say I am not a fan. But quite annoyed and shocked tonight to see her wearing a massive fox tail on her coat hood!

Back on form too! She was interviewing Johannes Radebe and asked if it was difficult dancing with a male partner, and whether they "bumped a lot"!

Well, it won't be a real one.

I love Alex Jones. She is so natural and brilliant for the one show!!

Nonogran Fri 07-Jan-22 20:17:57

Can’t bear her! What a “mouth” she’s got. I actually find the entire programme a turn off &try to avoid it. I hate noisy tv shows.

I think she’s harmless but she doesn’t like being out of the limelight for too long it would seem.

Calistemon Fri 07-Jan-22 20:19:08

I'm puzzled why anyone would watch it if they don't like the presenter.

Perhaps because of her accent (yes, I have seen that criticised on GN, believe it or not!!).

What does that mean?

Because she's come back from maternity leave? Women do these days.

See!!
It's the accent.

Calistemon Fri 07-Jan-22 20:21:19

As she has quite a gentle voice I can't see what else it can be.

Forsythia Fri 07-Jan-22 20:22:15

Being half Welsh myself her accent is not an issue Calistemon.
Even when on maternity leave she was popping up on tv and magazines. I think she loves the attention. My opinion, and I’m entitled to it as you are yours.

So obviously you couldn't hear her then!!

What a sense of humour you have.

Oh, I do, I do.

I really don't like spiteful threads.
They are people, after all.

I will refrain from posting again.

Calistemon Fri 07-Jan-22 20:39:39

I will just add, that if we find something or someone irritating, we tend to turn over to another programme or use the Off button.

Silence is golden.

Nonogran Fri 07-Jan-22 20:39:41

Oh goodness! What a nerve the OP has touched all due to a presenter on a show. Gotta laugh.

Josieann Fri 07-Jan-22 20:40:46

I like her. She does a lot for charities, off camera too. She doesn't put her children out there to be photographed and she treats everyone the same, no looking down her nose or sucking up to people.
I like to see the good in others before starting to criticise.
There are accents which grate on me far more than hers, but live and let live.

Calendargirl Fri 07-Jan-22 20:50:41

Her voice grates on me. So shrill. One reason I don’t watch the show.

I do hope everyone commenting is above redemption themselves…

Faux fur is fashionable by the way…

Well, it won't be a real one.

I am absolutely sure it was real- I know how to tell the difference.

Kali2 Fri 07-Jan-22 21:26:19

'Spiteful' - where?

JaneJudge Fri 07-Jan-22 21:33:00

are people suggesting she is working for foxy bingo too? shock

Georgesgran Fri 07-Jan-22 21:39:00

Never a fan of that programme, no matter who presents it - I always call it ‘a filler’ - bridging the gap between the news and something lighter.

GillT57 Fri 07-Jan-22 22:46:20

I can't bear the One Show and find it inane, it gets switched off rapidly un this house. Alex Jones is to my mind the worst presenter on a rubbish show.

Post number 5.

We take a peek sometimes to see who is on but rarely watch all the programme, not that I have anything against Alex Jones or her voice whatsoever.

Tonight we were alerted to a series by Martin Clunes which may interest us.
