Carol McGiffen is getting married

Personally I find her incredibly annoying. Am feeling ill, so watching Loose Women and she's just announced it. Thank God I say perhaps she'll stop telling everyone about her sex-ploits.

I don't mind her.
Preferable to Colleen.
Remind me, why have I got it on?

mrsmaidamess · 12/01/2009 12:54

Ha! Catmandu, I am off work ill too so have just heard this. I can't help but think about ANY celeb announcement like this,'It won't last'.

mrsmaidamess · 12/01/2009 12:55

See, I don't mind Colleen. Its that Geordie one married to him from Aufweidersein Pet I don't like. Denise Whatserface.

Isn't she the 'all men are rubbish and I'm happy to be single' one?

CatMandu · 12/01/2009 12:57

Ooh I agree Mrsmaidamess, Denise is dodgy too, Colleen is ok, the one leading it today is nice too. Can't be doing with the cruise singer one though. Why am I watching?

I like Jane McDonald, and Jackie Brambles.

But I have to insist that Colleen is awful (sorry!). Denise is a bit rubbish too.

(Note to self, TURN IT OFF!)

RamblingRosa · 12/01/2009 13:02

Who's she marrying? I thought she was single and didn't want to get married or have kids

CatMandu · 12/01/2009 13:08

A non sleb, he's a lot younger mid twenties I think. I don't know how old she is mind you.

I am looking forward to seeing Coleen on Dancing on Ice though....

squeaver · 12/01/2009 13:12

Wow that's a big gap - I think she's in her mid 40s.

Fimbo · 12/01/2009 13:13

LOL at some of the comments on here - scroll down!

Remotew · 12/01/2009 13:13

Carol is 48 and her intended is 26. They haven't been together long and she has accepted his proposal on holiday before she had seen where he lives. I do hope it lasts! I quite like her, don't like Jayne Macdonald, Colleen or Denise much.

lovelylullaby · 12/01/2009 13:13

Can't believe it! I stopped watching Loose Women this time last year and Carol didn't have a man on the scene at all, how did it happen?! She is hilarious and very honest, will need to tape LW for a couple of weeks and catch up with her goss. By the way, did she move to paris?

skay · 12/01/2009 13:14

I cannot STAND Carol McGiffen!!!
Her views on Children, Relationships, Anything in general are just sooo unbeleivable!!!!

She actually said regarding one of the Skaters on ice "I wanna see him fall over"
I'd like to see her on ice - JUST to see how many times SHE falls over.

(Sorry I'm ranting.)

squeaver · 12/01/2009 13:14

In fact she's 48!! And according to wikipedia they've only been together since September!

skay · 12/01/2009 13:16

That was fast!!!

Maybe she'll announce that she's actually preggers, and will stop slagging off motherhood and children.

CatMandu · 12/01/2009 13:19

Yep, it hasn't been long, I don't watch every day but often when I'm eating lunch. She's a TMI person, the poor boyfriend she tells the audience all sorts about their relationship. As abouteve said she's said today that she only went to his flat this weekend for the first time! ffs would you marry someone in that situation.

Carol who? yet another one I have never heard of...

Remotew · 12/01/2009 13:22

She has been single and childless for a long time which makes her opinions unusual. The fact that she is now with a man young enough to be her son is a curious choice.

LadyOfWaffle · 12/01/2009 13:23

pmsl @ 'can I be yor friend?' & 'Sharon and the gang'. Loose Women is one of the only programmes I will scramble to turn off.

Yeah she's great, i love her 'out there' opinions, I'm sure they all ham it up for the camera and much of what they say is rehearsed.

TheCrackFox · 12/01/2009 16:56

The last time I watched Loose Women Jo Brand was on. Jo was talking about writing a book (IIRC) and Carol said "oh, that will give you something to do whilst looking after 2 small children.". Jo was actually too shocked to say anything, which is most unlike her.

I wish Carol all the best but I give her marriage 6 months.
