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!

I do hope everyone commenting is above redemption themselves…

Faux fur is fashionable by the way…

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

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.

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

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.

Oh, I do, I do.

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

I will refrain from posting again.

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.

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

Calistemon Fri 07-Jan-22 20:20:40

What a “mouth” she’s got

See!!
It's the accent.

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

What does that mean?

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

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!!).

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

Calistemon Fri 07-Jan-22 20:15:58

Well, it won't be a real one.

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"!
