The obligatory Emma Forbes in swimsuit has appeared

Yes, the annual 'news' article of Emma Forbes on holiday in Barbados in a swimsuit can be viewed in the Daily Fail. You'll understand why I won't post a link. It's almost comforting in a way; the world keeps turning kind of way...

I didn't know this was a thing, and I can't work out why! I haven't seen Emma Forbes on TV for about 20 years, why is there any interest in her holiday?

supercee · 27/12/2019 19:22

It's only this year I thought 'don't they run this story every year..' As soon as I saw the pic I thought 'I bet she's in Barbados'.

I need to stop reading that shit.

Who is Emma Forbes?

JuniLoolaPalooza · 27/12/2019 19:24

She used to present Saturday morning kids TV with andi Peters. How weird of them!

Saw this today and thought exactly the same. She's not on tv anymore but somehow the DM love publishing pictures of her. She does look good, to be fair. But it's so random!

Thanks, I looked her up after looking for the Mail Online article(yes I did :-)!). I'm pretty sure I've never come across her before but the name 'Forbes' struck a chord and I see she is Sarah Standing's (nee Forbes) sister.

However I did see Kate Ferdinand doing exercises on the beach and thought she looked quite revolting in horrible poses! Emma Forbes looks ten times better than her.

It's every year at this time. True, most people under 45 won't have a clue who she is. How incredibly random to publish one story a year. A poster on here who works in media said it was a well-known editorial in-joke.

I was thinking the exact same thing when I saw it. It's very odd. I mean she looks bloody fantastic but why do they do it every year? The majority of people under 40 wouldn't know who she is.

I met Emma Forbes at a mn thing years ago (with Austin Healey) for a Wii fit game. She was gorgeous and really really funny (so was he), very down to earth and friendly.

who the fck is emma forbes??

ManonBlackbeak · 27/12/2019 20:09

Its really strange isn't it? Emma Forbes presented Live and Kicking in the 90's but has hardly done much since, but every single year we get these photos of her in a swimming costume on a beach.

I wonder why so many famous UK celebs go to Barbados at Christmas? There are other places you can go that are warm at this time of year.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emma_Forbes

I hadn't heard of her either and I'm seventy next week.
Knew of her sister and parents.
