Nothing against her think she is a fantastic presenter but she is on absolutely everything.
Do think entertainment benefits from having a varied amount of presenters and actors that aren’t names, fronting commercials etc

Some presenters have a ‘hand cuffs ‘ deal, but clearly Emma is free lance.

Think there was a time if you were contracted to BBC you couldn’t cross over to ITV.
it did mean a more varied pool of talent

I bet she’ll fall off the pedestal soon enough because the Brit’s like to build them up and knock them down..
So far she has avoided a lot of the criticism on strictly and doing a good and professional job of it.
I hope they keep her on that as she is a natural.

I like her.

However it gets very boring seeing the same faces presenting, Holly Willoughby, Emma Willis, Alison Hammond, Ant and Dec etc.

It's because it's feast or famine, isn't it? You get work. You're suddenly having your moment in the sun, so everyone wants you and you everything. Then you're overexposed and people are sick of you, so the work dries up. Then it's:'whatever happened to...?' Then you might get back in via reality TV or something, then you're back in the light and..... off we go again.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything she’s presented.

The voice was recorded two years ago. She got the new job middle of this year , she is probably happy it’s all gone well and she is a very good presenter.
Having her time and seems lovely.

She is v likeable although there are many in the industry that have incredible talent too and are never given the chance. I think when I saw her on The Voice and Strictly on the same night I think time for other faces to have a chance

Audiences like her, she delivers ratings. Ratings equal money and telly is a business. Simple as that. Plus, she’s likeable imo.

The trouble is, she is the best at what she does. She stepped into the Strictly job and it’s as though it was made for her.

I agree with you though, over exposure is a risk and people do get tired of seeing the same faces everywhere.

shes having a good monent

Honestly I'd leave her to it and let her do everything she wants to and can do. She is no doubt making the most of her career, the industry is so ageist to women once they hit 50.

Similar to Claudia and other celebrities tbh 😊
