I recall her as a halfway decent actress at one time. I've no idea of the point of talent shows - they're indescribably tedious - but far as actors are concerned it's work, and that profession is notoriously precarious. It's certainly resulted in an enhanced media profile for her, whatever that's worth.

Show quote history

I can't stand her (partly because I think she used Les Dennis for fame).

She was a contestant on Blind Date.
She was in the Miss Marple story last week (4.50 from Paddington?) as one of the main characters and I've got to admit to her being pretty good.

Tom Allen, the 'comedian'. Never heard him utter a single funny thing. Having a camp voice does not make you funny.

He has quite a nasty side too I think.

Lisa Faulkner. Patronising, disingenuous and smug. If that cooking show with Torode comes on when I’m in the room, I actually shout “NO”.

Yes ! Always showing off her freebies on her Instagram page. She speaks oddly too sort of all breathy.

Mary Berry is the real deal. I’ve met her, she really always that sweet. Judy Dench is a fabulous actress who swears like the men she works alongside. I’d rather be with a sweary person, than one that doesn’t swear but who is destructive, lije Rishi Sunak.

Show quote history

I think Dench is very overrated as an actress. She's often mentioned in the same breath as other great theatre dames such as Maggie Smith, Diana Rigg and Julie Andrews. IMO she's not in their league in terms of versatility, charisma or gravitas.

Rigg's stage presence was simply mesmerizing. When she was in a scene you couldn't look at anything other than her.

@Solonge it's not your place to come on and tell us why we should like the person we said we didn't and everyone else does! That's not what the thread is about.

Also don't get the fuss about Kylie Minogue - she's a mediocre actress and awful singer but I'm sure she is a nice person!

This troika seem to pop up everywhere. It's like nothing can happen without them being consulted?

Stewart Lee isn't quite in the same bracket fame wise. Another nauseating hypocrite and cry bully.

Kate middleton, I just don't get it? Cries of "I love her", no you love the act she puts on in public (that she has to, not out of choice), she can afford to pay people lots of money to make her look good and spend thousands on outfits, so she always looks "beautiful".

You don't love her, you literally have no idea what she's really like, besides this she is just an unemployed rich woman living off other people's wealth, whether it be her husband's family or her parents, nothing to aspire to or love. It makes me feel sick the fawning people do over her.

I watched a clip on Instagram of her greeting people on the royal walkabout at Sandringham and the fawning was unbelievable, ladies telling her she looked wonderful etc.
