I mean, her mum is nice looking, for sure. But Michelle is next level!

Good genes? 🤣

A good surgeon you mean!

I don’t see anything stunning about her when I look at her, she’s just another woman walking around whose looks have been altered and who looks very unnatural.

Oh give over. I repeated what he had said to me when he was telling me how the evening had been. You’re massively stretching by labelling it patriarchal misogyny but I’ll leave you to get your kicks however you wish.

I will however repeat, the mention of her being so petite was absolutely not said as any kind of insult. I’m myself am also 5’3 and petite, so please don’t imply otherwise.

I took from your post that your DH was talking about the surprise of meeting Celebs in reality and how different they are from your perception whether that is personality wise or physically. I am always surprised by how tiny a lot of female celebs are in person. I mean really really tiny. It's noticeable because they kind of look average sized on TV. I guess that many don't eat that much.

She just has that generic "I bought my face" look which I don't like.

Sadly this. I mean she does look great but it’s a shame she felt the need to have all that work done to conform to the current beauty (bland) standards.

Why do you say her husband and his family are scum? In what way are they scum?
I don't know anything about her husband other than that they are always portrayed as madly in love.

If you watch TOWIE in the early days you will see what a massive prick he is.

Finallydoingit24 · 23/03/2025 07:40

Incredible genes? She’s young and has had a lot of surgery and you’re likely mainly saying that because she is very thin. And I’m guessing your post is prompted by the fact that her mum is overweight and doesn’t seem to have her daughter’s looks (so why the comment about genetics).

justanothercrapbedtime · 23/03/2025 07:30

She has a good surgeon, stylist, hairdresser and likely personal trainer nothing more
without that she’d be as average as the rest of us

She is the epitome of ‘Iphone face’ and it clearly has affected her career. Her husband as his family are absolute scum as well, with dubious finances…..

She was stunning before and after. She does look different though. Lovely face, skin, hair and figure.

Alabamasunset · 23/03/2025 07:24

Palma. Named after their favourite holiday destination.
Honestly.
You can buy good looks and a mansion, but you can't buy class.

Waterweight · 23/03/2025 07:22

She's got good genes for a shit ton of surgery - like Kylie Jenner (yes I know she's "fake" but her looks really are truly enhanced via fillers & tweakments)

They also got lovely colouring & the money for maintenance/up keep eventually yes. It'll go bad but for right now anybody saying they don't look great most of the time is full of shit themselves

I could have all the work in the world & not look like them.

Pyjamatimenow · 23/03/2025 07:08

I’m quite certain that she’ll look pretty odd in real life. That level of cosmetic work always does irl and if it doesn’t now it definitely will in a few years. Our faces are not supposed to be pulled, frozen and simultaneously inflated.

Pricelessadvice · 23/03/2025 07:07

She had a lot of work done, but quite gradually so it wasn’t completely obvious.

I always thought she was naturally pretty anyway. She’s stunning now, but it’s not her incredible genes.

MyWiseGoose · 23/03/2025 07:05

I think she is gorgeous before and still is. It's her body that's perfect. But she does look common now after the surgery.

PeggyMitchellsCameo · 23/03/2025 07:05

I can remember her episode of ‘Who Do You Think You Are?’ and it was great.
She was so very pretty when she joined Corrie. She has always had beautiful skin, shiny hair and a fabulous figure. Good genes indeed.
But over time she’s really had so much work done that she didn’t need. She came out the same time as Lacey Turner, who was very much the pretty one on Eastenders at the time. They are around the same age, and Lacey did ‘Our Girl’ first.
I think she’s left her face alone, and looks great, but isn’t so much the ‘siren’ in roles these days. Not that you could be with Stacey Slater’s wardrobe 🤣 Buy I think she’s still very pretty, and a fantastic actress

But you aren’t repeating the ears part are you as you know how ridiculous you and your husband sound.

Show quote history

Give over. I don't find anything her DH said offensive. And anyone who loves using words like patriarchal mysoginy sounds like a feminazi twat.

FannyBawz · 23/03/2025 06:58

She’s completely reconstructed her face for no other reason than vanity.

i hope the baby looks sufficiently beautiful 🙄

66babe · 23/03/2025 06:58

I think she is absolutely gorgeous
But I’d hope I would be too if I had all that surgery , money for decent food and skin care , lifestyle etc
Congrats to them on the birth of their baby

It’s patriarchal misogyny - he mentioned the men’s personalities and flaws. Only the physical flaw of Michelle. You know all those bikini pics from a few years ago, all I could think was…what big ears she had. Highly doubt any straight man would be thinking about her ears. You did insinuate being petite was a negative or why mention it along with her ears.

what is this site now, tattle? Michelle is a stunning woman. Was before. Is now. She’s never forgotten her roots as a soap actress, which I love, and never lost her northern accent. It’s a hard world to crack for a northerner. 99% of actors are from the 1% background. I think fool me once was the most watched series of 2024 on Netflix. She’s far more than just her looks to carry a show like that. To those saying negative things, you aren’t fooling anyone, just plain old jealousy.

@whichkindof the PP is winding us up. It’s Palma (as in Palma, Majorca). A tad better than Torremelinos 😂

Thank goodness 😅

shiningcuckoo · 23/03/2025 06:45

She certainly shares her Mum’s colouring. MK is lovely looking and was in her Corrie days too - no doubt helped along but blah, her face, her choice. If she is tiny, her mum must be super short, given the photo of them together.

They’ve called their baby torremolinos, as in the Spanish resort? lol

Anything that can be altered on her face has been altered as well as her teeth.

It will be interesting if her daughter grows up and looks like her original face and her daughter gets to an age where she realises that her mother hated her looks so much she drastically altered them.

Gosh, I never thought about it like that. You male a very good point (not about her specifically, but people doing that)

She has a very good surgeon.
Her baby being called Torremolinos is unfortunate.

She’s obviously gorgeous, the work she’s had done has been done well.
