When she and Cliff Richard attended court at the time of the allegations against him, I thought how old and doddery they both appeared back then.

Age catches up with all of us, whether famous or not.

I also think her hairstyle does nothing for her.

Probably her hair has thinned, but it looks flat somehow.

I think a different look would be better, but so often they try and keep the same look. Lesley Joseph’s jet black hair is so ageing, just go grey!

GH has also recently lost her husband so not surprising that she looks ill.

I saw GH a couple of years ago. Poor lady, she is absolutely tiny and looked unwell.

Super presenter.

I think GH was very ill with sepsis not long ago.

Think these comments are a bit harsh. Checked Gloria's age and she is 84! Her fellow presenter, Julia, is 77 which is quite a bit younger and think we should take into consideration that Angela Rippon has retired from the show at 80 and I would think that she knew tv cameras, no matter how much professional make up helps, can be very unflattering. I know a lot of ladies who avoid the mirrors and bright lights when browsing in stores - I know I do and I don't think I am a vain person but at 78 I don't need reminding by bright lights and large mirrors and as for unflattering photos........!!

I don’t watch LW but I have seen the advert. I agree Gloria Hunniford isn’t looking good, losing weight and too much makeup in your 80s doesn’t make for a good look. However I am mindful that she lost her husband quite recently.

I agree. They look frightful.

She looks terrible. Lesley Joseph looks awful, too. All the eye make-up some women wear when they're getting older certainly doesn't look attractive.

I did and I didn’t recognise her, either.

There’s an ad running atm for Loose Women (which I rarely watch) with Janet Street-Porter, a couple other women whom I know of, but whose names escape me and on the end Gloria Hunniford, who looks shocking and at deaths door.

I know she’s been poorly of late, but she doesn’t really look at all “with it”.

Has anyone else seen this?
