Alison Hammond shouty and disturbing

Well said OldFrill like or dislike AH she did the correct thing in pulling him up about what he said

I don’t watch that many programmes she’s on but I think shes fun and at heart a nice person I like her she always seems ‘real’
Well more real than many
I think she gets unfair criticism I d rather have her than some stoney faced correct person I bet she’d be great fun to have an evening out with

I am not sure who she is, there are so many shouty people on tv these days.

I haven't seen Alison Hammond recently, but when I have seen her I have always like her, she has just been very jolly and uplifting, she just has a bubbly personality.

I don't watch Bake Off any more because of her.

I take your point OldFrill. 👍

I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds AH loud and overbearing. My heart sank when I heard she was taking over on Bake Off, and her first series didn't make me change my mind.

Slightly off piste. I wish AH would get her facts right. When she was interviewing Cliff Richard recently he was discussing famous people he has met and he mentioned Elvis and Cliff said he hadn’t been photographed with him because Elvis was was overweight and wouldn’t look how people remembered him. Alison chastised Cliff and said ‘just because he is a tiny bit overweight etc etc’.

Elvis was at that stage very ill, over 25 stone and had chronic constipation. Poor man he needed help not a photograph taken. Cliff did the right thing.

Alison was absolutely right, as is clear in the interview. Cliff may have done the right thing but not for the right reason. He clearly stated he reversed his decision to meet Elvis as Elvis had put on weight and he didn't want a photo of himself and a fat Elvis on his refrigerator. At no time did Cliff say anything about Elvis being ill (although he was). It was a very crass thing to say, Alison hardly "chastised" him she may a very good point that you shouldn't put off meeting someone because of their weight and Cliff agreed with her. She made a numerous rhetorical aside about Cliff not wanting her at his house which was received in good humour. I'm not keen on Alison Hammond but find she's often incorrectly criticised but in this interview she was spot on. There are clips available (unedited) to view.

How much prefer Josie Gibson

I just cannot understand why AH is flavour of the year. We are seeing too much of her. She is too loud, talks over people and has that horrible false laugh.

Would rather watch and listen to Alison than super irritating Josie Gibson. That accent is so cringe.

not a fan of AH, her voice annoys me, now i need to give up one of my favourite tv shows as she is taking over from paul o'grady.

Yes, I feel the same.

Oh no! Just been reading she will be presenting For The Love Of Dogs now after Paul O’Grady passed away.

Why is she flavour of the year suddenly? I can’t see anything very special about her so what is it she has that appeals to Producers?

I agree. Can’t bear shouty loud people. Huge turn off for me.

I agree. Too loud and self important.

Empty vessels make most noise ?

If She is on with Dermot O'Dreary its a double whammy ! ... He constantly fidgets and pretends to sip his coffee , his hands are always in his pockets and why isnt he told to keep still ... and with Alison its just an awful This morning ...

Can’t bear Bradley Walsh - especially on the Chase. Far too much to say for a presenter especially when contestants are trying to work out an answer. Inane remarks. Just shut up and let them think.

Also he’s all over our screens at the moment.

I think Ainsley Harriot is the loudest person on tv (I like him)

Alison Hammond’s laugh doesn’t bother me, maybe because I come from quite a ‘loud’ family myself!

I saw her interviewing Harrison Ford and Ryan Gosling once, and she had them in fits of laughter - which was very funny to watch!

I shouldn't judge people by their looks!

I don’t like watching Trump either Callistemon. I only see him if he’s featured on the news.
I don’t like Jimmy Carr either, along with one or two others, because I believe he and they were outed as tax avoiders. I’ve no time for rich people trying to avoid paying their taxes. That’s why I don’t like Richard Branson anymore either, although he was very nice when he attended my daughter’s graduation ceremony, because his daughter was on the same course and graduated alongside my daughter. I think he went to live on his island after that to avoid paying taxes in the UK.
I don’t think Alison Hammond avoids paying her taxes, as far as I’m aware anyway.

I watched Alison Hammond on Big Brother many years ago. I haven’t watched her since so I know nothing about her now. What does she appear on now?
