I like her. She has a great voice as well. And she's obviously very intelligent. Very good delivery on radio and when she stands in for JV.Maybe she'll take over Storm's when the latter leaves to have her baby. I hope so. There's a bloke called Akexis who has stood in and I have to turn him off.

She strikes me as being rather 'needy', which may be why her relationships have broken down.

I like her. I’ve never forgotten her speaking about how cruel her first husband was when he asked for a divorce. She thought she was in a happy marriage and was utterly devastated. I always admired how she picked herself up and reinvented herself.

Can't stand her 'preachy' voice, always sounds as if she is talking down to people. Even her voice makes me cringe. Always turn off/over if she is on! Just as well we don't all think alike!

Much prefer her to Sheila Fogarty. Smart, sophisticated and knows what she’s talking about.

I cannot abide her

Neither can I.

I think she does talk a lot of sense but I just cannot stand her voice - so syrupy and smarmy. I have to switch her off after a couple of minutes. Can't wait for Sheila to come back.

She was fantastic when she was on Radio London, but they gradually got rid of the older presenters or shunted them to less prestigious time slots. Vanessa found a new job before she was pushed, Jo Good and Robert Elms are still on Radio London but only very late or at weekends, I used to listen to all three of them during the weekday time slots. I hadn’t heard her on LBC but thank you for the heads up…

I loved Vanessa's column in She many years ago, maybe the 90s? She wrote about her family life, it was when her children were young and she was married to her first husband. I remember being particularly moved by her article about losing her mother. She writes very well.

Yes I prefer Vanessa to Jeremy, he is so arrogant in my opinion.

Shinamae Mon 27-Jan-25 21:54:39

I really like Vannessa and sometimes she stands in for Jeremy Vine. I wish she was there all the time and not Jeremy, He really irritates me…

Love Clive and Nick!

Vanessa has been on and off LBC for a while I much prefer Sheila Fogarty Nice sane woman

She stood in for Jeremy Vine on his show a few months ago, she was very good, as others have said she doesn't take any nonsense from the callers or the panel.

Sheila is back next week.
It's her show.
Vanessa is just standing in for her.

FishandChips15 Mon 27-Jan-25 14:37:56

Much better than Sheila Fogarty hope she stays.

Charleygirl5 Mon 27-Jan-25 14:18:19

Thank you. I did not realise she was on LBC.

Ilovedogs22 Mon 27-Jan-25 14:14:53

I adore Vanessa, I think that she is a brilliant interviewer.
She super- smart, charming & very informed too.
I wish Vanessa was on the TV a lot more, quite frankly.
A clever whip-smart, beautiful, intelligent woman. 💞

Anyone else enjoying Vanessa being on during the day at 1pm. I find her fascinating and she speaks at lot of sense and stands no nonsense from her callers. Normally she is only on at the weekends. Hope she stays.
