Alison Hammond shouty and disturbing

I've only seen her on Bakeoff and thought she was good.

However, you'd have to pay me to watch Loose Women so I don't know what she's like on there.

I wasn't a fan before I saw her on Bakeoff - and she really grew on me! I suspect that she matches her loudness/annoyingness to her perception of what the audience wants. Eg on Loose Women overly loud and brash and cackling; on Bakeoff more engaging and sweet.

I don’t know who she us but. Will be on the lookout 👀

I like Alison Hammond, I think she is a breath of fresh air compared to some of the identikit female presenters which seem to dominate daytime TV.

I turn off any program with AH in it, I find her just too much. She's too loud and over excited and drowns out any other presenter or guest with her shrieking laughter and constant interuptions. I wish she'd just reign it in a bit.

I like Alison and find her laugh infectious. She seems to be a lovely kind hearted woman.
It seems the presenters on daytime TV are encouraged to laugh and muck about a lot, which does irritate me when it is inappropriate.

I dont like her on BakeOff, laughs at nothing.

I've just posted on another thread about Rustie Lee (TV chef) who also laughs at nothing. She is not shouty, just annoying. She says something as if she's telling a joke, then laughs as if it's hysterically funny. It's not a joke and she is laughing at nothing. I've seen her a couple of times lately and cannot help my eyeballs going up every time.

I agree about Alison Hammond, and I also think Michelle Dewberry needs to learn to project her voice, not shout, and moderate the tone.

I am not keen on AH on the morning programme. She seems like a nice person but she is shouty and over the top. I refer Josie - sorry I can't remember her last name.

AH did seem to tone it down on Bake Off but she didn't seem to be on screen much.

She’s obviously not everywhere as I’ve never heard of her.

Nor me!

Not really a fan of AH.

I was concerned about her presenting Great British Bake Off due to the loud brash style she has, but in actual fact she was fine.

So she's obviously capable of toning it down

Some of the weather presenters on BBC are so shouty as well.

In fact there is so much shoutiness on TV generally. Do they think we like it or need it. Who can we tell?

I am fed up with it. I don't watch Alison H but can sympathise.

Could the programme and advertisement makers please ask this presenter to tone it down a peg? She's everywhere, shrieking and shouting and laughing uproariously at nothing! Im not being anti-Brummie - I'm from the West Midlands myself and hearing the accent makes me feel at home. I just cant bear it and have to hit the mute button whenever she's on, so whatever she is advocating or presenting goes unheard - by me at least!
