Saw her on Graham Norton was like eh? Why is she singing a dead old song in a too short glittery playsuit?. Just caught up on her singing all her old hits in her kitchen at the start of lockdown and I thought it would appeal to mumsnetters.

She is killing it on the WFH with kids Grin. She has 5 kids, is my age, and rocks a sequin cat suit.

Anyone else or just me?

I thinks she looks amazing and she is a good performer but I've no idea why she is still famous? She has t had a hit for so long and I doubt a U.K. under 35 knows who she is. Yet she's still going... good manager!

I think she's just done the Masked Singer

EmmaGrundyForPM · 01/01/2021 00:22

I think she's great. I saw her live last year and she is a fabulous performer.

DH and I have been watching her kitchen discos in lockdown. She and her husband have been putting on great gigs on Friday nights. She has me bopping round the kitchen. I just wish I had her figure.

Back in the heady pre covid days of February I saw her perform at a corporate event. I was a bit disappointed when I heard she was the entertainment as its not my taste musically but I had to eat my words. Loads of fun, great crowd interaction and looked fab. I miss those days Sad

Shes brilliant

Passmeabottlemrjones · 01/01/2021 00:24

I have always loved her makeup and outfits ever since Groovejet, she is so gorgeous!!!

ZenNudist · 01/01/2021 00:25

She's obviously got a sense of humour. I'm just laughing at her surrounded by kids wearing glittery outfits. Yes fab figure and her littlest is only young.

I remember seeing her before she was born.

She was fab on the Masked Singer but just couldn't quite disguise her voice and we all worked out who she was straight away.

TTprincess64 · 01/01/2021 00:33

I love her too. She has an amazing voice; fell in love with her when she supported Take That in 2006.

allthewaterinthetap · 01/01/2021 00:34

She seems nice and her sons are all very cute.

ssd · 01/01/2021 00:35

She's great!

Copperblack · 01/01/2021 00:35

Loved her lockdown disco. My highlights were when she caught a child’s vomit/choking in her hand while singing and when her toddler grabbed the mile and shouted ‘dinosaur poo’in the middle of her song. Fab!!

AnyFucker · 01/01/2021 00:38

She is fabu-LOUS

You saw her before she was born....? Interesting!
stanski · 01/01/2021 00:39

I met her and her mom. She's even more beautiful in real life than online. How she does it with that many kids is beyond me

I am assuming as Janet Ellis bump on blue Peter? I loved Janet Ellis.

@JemimaChristmas

Her mother is Janet Ellis, who was a Blue Peter présenter back in the past, and who got sacked from it for having the temerity to be pregnant and unwed. Those were the days...🙁

bingowingsmcgee · 01/01/2021 00:45

She's brilliant and so likeable. I remember her being born. It was on blue Peter and I was riveted at Janet giving her a bath. I think she was the first newborn I'd ever seen. They seem like such a lovely family, and yes she is bloody gorgeous too.

AnyFucker · 01/01/2021 00:48

I think SEB should do next year's New Year TV show

Bloodypunkrockers · 01/01/2021 00:53

I love her kitchen discos

I love the way she scoops up crying child, steps over baby and tells other to put the stick down and apologise to his brother, all while singing

Amazing

bloodyhairy · 01/01/2021 00:53

She's fab!

ZenNudist · 01/01/2021 00:57

Yes it's the combination of singing songs from my youth whilst actively parenting and enjoy ing doing her own thing.

In my house my dc have very much taken over the tunes.

She's charming. She is kind of old fashioned. I can see her as a land army girl! Great legs.
