Telly addicts

Is it me, or do Charlie Stayt and Susanna Reid hate each other?

He tries to catch her out with sarky humour that she doesn't get, and then she gets all snippy and defensive.

Either they hate each other, or they're having a passionate affair and are trying to cover their tracks.

Either way, it makes for uncomfortable viewing.

(Just in case people aren't as addicted to telly news as I am, I'm going on about news presenters on BBC Breakfast )

I agree, have thought it for some time now... hadnt thought of the affair twist though

eatyourveg · 28/05/2011 09:00

He's always tried to outsmart her - I've been amazed the beeb have kept them together for so long with the uncomfortable vibes they give off when on screen together.

TaffyandTeenyTaffy · 28/05/2011 09:03

Been a couple of uncomfy moments this morning....

WipsGlitter · 28/05/2011 09:07

I have the shirt she's wearing today!! It's from Ted Baker. Sorry random. I really like her, but have not noticed any tension. DP said their interview with Franki Vallali yesterday was excruciating.

MissHonkover · 28/05/2011 09:08

Oh yes, I nearly had to turn it off when the paper reviewer even picked up on it!

CS's off the cuff remarks would be fine if they had any chemistry and she could pick them up and do something with them, but it always turns into a tumbleweed moment verging on an all out scrap.

I think she hates him. I like her hair.

MissHonkover · 28/05/2011 09:10

Yes, I think she's deliberately trying to draw attention to his little remarks by not 'playing along'. I agree, lovely hair, and a gorgeous blouse this morning.

OOH! Just seen you have that top Wips! Jammy.

Bill and Sian they aint, for sure!

purepurple · 28/05/2011 09:13

I don't like her at all. She seems very arrogant and very self-absorbed. I like Charlie though.

Elllllabellllla · 28/05/2011 09:15

Bill and Sian are just lovely together! Definately friends and Sian has a great chuckle!

msrisotto · 28/05/2011 09:16

Oh I like her! He's a bit of a fool though.

HugoFirst · 28/05/2011 09:16

oh she was horrendous on twitter. plays to her audience and int eh early days was BEGGING for followers.
was pathetic

MissHonkover · 28/05/2011 10:13

I like both of them individually but together they're disastrous!
Used to like Big Watch Bowen and Sophie Raworth.
I love Bill. I'd like to go and see his beehives. I hope Mrs Turnbull is nice.

Can't stand Sian either. Lollipop head. And the way she always sits so that she is always upright and making herself look as slim as possible. Smug.

But Bill is lovely - bumbling fool type.

georgie22 · 28/05/2011 10:20

I mentioned on the thread about Tom Daly's dad that I thought Charlie was quite insensitive in shutting up the sports presenter on 2 occasions when he spoke about how sad it was. He actually seemed upset by the news but Charlie was keen not to dwell and to continue.

I don't like him. I agree Bill and Sian make for much easier viewing, but I like most of them on BBC. Has anyone seen the lot on Daybreak - I accidentally changed channel earlier in the week and a few seconds of viewing was enough for me. Truly awful!!

whatkungfuthat · 29/05/2011 18:54

I'm sure Charlie farted once live on air and, rather than discreetly ignore it, Susanna reacted with a huge start that left no room for doubt.

SindyTellsMe · 29/05/2011 18:58

I've sensed the bitterness too and whatever it is, I'm on Charlie's side.

FattyAcid · 29/05/2011 18:59

I felt sorry for Kate Silverton covering Sian's mat leave

52Girls · 29/05/2011 19:08

I think they're good friends and it's just banter. Actually quite surprised so many think the opposite!

sharbie · 29/05/2011 19:09

i think they must be married in rl

MissHonkover · 29/05/2011 19:23

Poor Kate Silverton, I'm sure she's absolutely lovely, but she's stylistically challenged. Her outfits can be horrific and I think short hair on lady news presenters is always a gamble, Natasha Kerplunk's barnet was equally disastrous.

Fatty, did you mean because she had to work with Charlie, or Bill?

"DP said their interview with Franki Vallali yesterday was excruciating" to be fair that was frankie Valli's fault.

DuelingFanjo · 29/05/2011 19:31

"I felt sorry for Kate Silverton covering Sian's mat leave" because of the baby thing?

she's pregnant now.

EssentialFattyAcid · 29/05/2011 19:35

Not because of Sian's pregnancy, just that she looked permanently awkward and uncomfortable in the role
