On Graham Norton.

What is up with her? Song and dancing was weird and now she is being really awkward.

Shes lived in England since she was a year old so shell have grown up speaking English at school so I dont think its a language barrier. She comes across odd to me.

mrs but to him it’s just as baffling that I can remember stuff from when I was 4 (or younger).

What can I say? People are different.

'not sure what language Albanians speak'

not sure what language Albanians speak

Most of them spoke Albanian when we were there...and excellent English.

Well i thought she came across as quite charming actually. But then i think graham is a giant knob that humuliates his guests.

IAmAlwaysLikeThis · 01/01/2019 00:51

lem Reeeallly? I love Graham!

I’m normally all about smacking down rude men but he’s never come across like that to me.

I think she should just sing and not bother with the interviews. She appears v nervy anc uncomfortable doing them and possibly she isn't the brightest spark but I love her music regardless - but please no medleys!

icbatda · 01/01/2019 00:55

Never knew she had Albanian parents - interesting background she's had.

Blimey, I've never thought that. It seems like all the guests know what to expect and many come back repeatedly so they mustn't be offended.

Well Brian Blessed reckons he can remember being born and hes the most opposite person to rita ora I can think of.

The most ridiculous thing was the British Airways thing, when you meet Olivia Coleman you must say "Dirty Bastard" in a Bristol accent.

CoffeeCoffeeTea · 01/01/2019 01:29

Love Graham Norton, thought Rita Ora looked beautiful and my DCs and I are convinced she was not lip syncing. If anything I thought Tate and Coleman were the odd ones. Normally love Tate but her joke tonight was weird.

PerspicaciaTick · 01/01/2019 01:31

Her whole appearance was weird. Wavy arm-dancing with no lower body movement. Backing dancers who seemed to have been unexpectedly drafted in to perform and were dressed for a different event. SHOUTING loudly at OC about British Airways. The burping.
I was so embarrassed on her behalf I had to hide in the kitchen until the end of the interview.

CoffeeCoffeeTea · 01/01/2019 01:32

Never seen the BA advert , but for my family Olivia Colman is Flowers.

CoffeeCoffeeTea · 01/01/2019 01:36

Is burping the Alphabet worse than picking teeth to get a tune?

Notmyrealname85 · 01/01/2019 01:43

Can she actually sing? There was a LOT being covered by backing singers...

Anonalongadingdong123 · 01/01/2019 01:53

Didn't think she was that bad, seen worse from more famous folk than her.

tinstar · 01/01/2019 02:01

Does anyone actually find 'nan' funny? The joke was cringingly unfunny. She sat next to someone in the theatre who shat themselves and didn't notice because she was so engrossed in the show. And that's funny because ....?

Patroclus · 01/01/2019 02:01

oh man I just remember about that time she got 'hacked' on twitter.

She has a bit of an odd career. She obviously has talent but she seems to get given songs that others dont want and isnt given any kind of fixed image. I think she needs to sack her management.

Patroclus · 01/01/2019 02:04

The whole Catherine Tate show thing was a Little Britain rip off and that was bad enough, but even that (LB) was retired and forgotten about for the good of humanity about 15 year ago. CT is a really good actor in other things, she needs to drop the crap characters.

dogzdinner · 01/01/2019 09:17

I thought she was nervous meeting the others. Other than that she seems like a nice enough person.

Other than the Nan bit at the end I enjoyed it

notacooldad · 01/01/2019 10:30

I thought the Catherine Tate ' nsn' sketch was appalling.
I'm not sure which she group she is supposed to be for. Me and DP sat there not at all amused. DS who is 19, just sighed and said this is ridiculous. It's not amusing.
Catherine Tate is funny, charming and a decent actress. I dont know why she keeps flogging this dead horse of a character. She ( in my opinion) needs to drop it.
