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?

She is brilliant. Love her

Crying in the discoteque is on the radio all the time at the moment.

She's still hip to the groove.

Sorry can’t stand her face. Have to turn the tv over. I’m sure she a nice person just makes me cringe

Redglitter · 01/01/2021 01:14

I dont like her voice but shes got a fab personality. Her kitchen discos are great. I love how she steps over her kids talks to them but still never misses a beat

StopMakingATitOfUrselfNPissOff · 01/01/2021 01:21

Ah I like her! And I don’t like many people Grin

She seems quite normal and fun!

MaggieFS · 01/01/2021 01:25

I saw her tibia evening- loved it. The kitchen discos completely passed me by! Never heard of them :(

MaggieFS · 01/01/2021 01:26

Well that's a weird typo if ever there was one!

*I saw her THIS evening

Poppet1974 · 01/01/2021 02:02

Was listening to her earlier, thinking she’s great. Then turned on Graham Norton and there she was looking amazing!
Don’t go changin Sophie 😍😍

SleepingStandingUp · 01/01/2021 02:06

I watched the same show. I want Emily Blunt to be my friend

WhatWouldPhyllisCraneDo · 01/01/2021 02:13

We watched The Masked Singer earlier and our comment was "she can't sing". Then when she was unmasked I was "wtf". DS(14) didn't have a clue who she was!

SaladBowlsAndBasinsAndBuckets · 01/01/2021 02:35

Got tickets to see her this year, postponed from last year. I cancelled everything else but really hoping to see her. She’s charming.

GlummyMcGlummerson · 01/01/2021 02:37

Love her she's looks amazing and seems really lovely too

AlexaPlayWhiteNoise · 01/01/2021 07:23

She's awesome. And inspired me to wear bold glitter eyeshadow all through my youth because of 'murder on the dance floor'. Grin

juneybean · 01/01/2021 07:26

She's never aged! Love her! Definitely reminds me of being in secondary school late 90s.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 01/01/2021 07:33

@ElGuardiandenoche

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.

I think it was her older brother you saw.
juneybean · 01/01/2021 08:09

Sophie is Janet's eldest?

nosswith · 01/01/2021 08:19

I saw her aged 19 or 20 as lead singer of a band called theaudience (yes, all little letters as per the late 90s trend). Seems hardly to have aged since.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 01/01/2021 08:20

Sorry my mistake. The baby on the scan was Sophie’s younger brother.

MacDuffsMuff · 01/01/2021 08:27

I was just thinking what a lovely positive thread this is. 🙄

I think she's great.

sandgrown · 01/01/2021 08:33

Saw her at a festival last year and she was much better than expected. She also coped with the very windy conditions and her dress constantly blowing up without being a diva.

imip · 01/01/2021 08:39

I also think she is amazing and bloody gorgeous! She also won (or came runner up) on strictly a Few years ago. I have a huge girl crush on her Grin

TanginaBarrons · 01/01/2021 08:40

I've enjoyed her kitchen discos and she seems lovely, but... I really didn't like her on strictly and now can't remember why... Was she really arrogant and ungracious? Quite bitchy? Sore looser and complainer? Can anyone remind me why I didn't like her?

Skipsurvey · 01/01/2021 08:47

she is great how she sings in an actual english accent, unlike 99% of others

Skipsurvey · 01/01/2021 09:06

she was with Brandon on strictly, so that is may be why. he is the sore loser

Titmusu1 · 01/01/2021 09:23

Sophie has a podcast too, talking to busy working women, who also happen to be mothers, about how they make it work. I've really enjoyed the ones I listened to. aca.st/59bad6
