I think she deserves her success. She is obviously a hardworking positive person and her boys seems lovely. I found last nights programme moving -especially her sadness about losing her mum at 10 years old.And as she said the shadow of breast cancer has been hanging over her for a long time.

I wish her well but I'm not keen on her not even sure why.

I have enjoyed her programmes before the big country house where she helped 'rescue' dire problems in people's own houses doing plumbing etc herself which she says she has always done. However I think I have possibly had enough now and stopped watching. I hope she is well and I congratulate her on her lovely family but I'm out now - too much of a good thing.

I don’t think ‘posh’ is a derogatory term.

It just sums up what certain people are.

Always think of a lady who my daughter worked for as nanny to her children. Yes, she was wealthy, well educated, stylish, beautiful home. And she was ‘posh’.

But if she had lost all her money, her career, her home, she would still have been ‘posh’.

I like her and ‘the boys’ are great. Well mannered and thoughtful, they are a credit to her and her husband.
I too found her account moving and her thoughts were positive yet realistic.
I wish her well.

“Posh” what does that even mean?
Well brought up, privileged, well educated, classy, grand.
I always feel posh is used as derogatory term.
It’s a horrible word.

I watched the programmes I thought she was very candid and positive under the circumstances. Regarding her family I rather liked them at least they all do things together.

I also find her annoying and avoid her programmes

Sorry but I just can't stand her (find her intensely irritating and insincere) so avoid watching anything she's in.

Like her very much and do hope she’s made a full recovery. She is indeed very posh but also down to earth.

I watched three programmes featuring her yesterday. I found the account of her breast cancer journey very moving and candid. I hope it will help others going through the same.

I have enjoyed their series following the move to the country. I know they are 'posh', but I love her boys! They were so full of energy and laddish ideas. The home schooling section yesterday was hilarious and I should imagine similar to many households during lockdown!

Anybody else enjoy watching the family?
