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.

Unrealistically fast marriage? By a Schleb? Really? What a surprise!!

I give it 6 months at the most.

(I think she's a stupid woman, immature, ignorant and opinionated, which is never a good combination)

expatinscotland · 12/01/2009 17:08

She's only 48? Jesus wept, I thought she was in her 50s! My 67-year-old mother looks fresher.

She's gross. TMI. Tasteless.

And dating a 26-year-old, too, at that age - male or female. Yak.

She is brainless and this proves it She said she would NEVER marry again Get ready for the 'miracle' baby

Can't stand her after he views on children and breastfeeding in particular.

Sometimes I watch it when BFing DD3 and feel sick with her tales of her sex-ploits, yes you are getting it love but keep it to yourself.

expatinscotland · 12/01/2009 17:20

the thought of her getting it turns my stomach. barf, not an image i want to conjure up in mind.

brave man

I find CM very annoying, the only reason she is "famous" is because she was married to Chris Evans and kept bleating about how awful he was when they got divorced!!

deste · 12/01/2009 19:54

When she said she was getting married my first thoughts were "heaven help him" my next thought was "it will never last". He works on the set I think which means he hears everything she says. What must his mother think having her sons sex life discussed on TV. As for the rest. Denise Welsh could speak for the whole of the programme if they let her, Colleen can be a bit naff. I dont mind Jane McDonald, I dont mind the oxo lady and think Jackie Brambles is lovely.

I notice that she didn't/couldn't say when or what kind of wedding she'll have, do you think she's waiting for Hello/Ok to start bidding.

How old is Jackie Brambles? I know what age she says she is but if that's true she was a reporter for Radio One's Newsbeat when she was about 15.

I would

a) go for a drink with Carol
b) not go for a drink with Denise
c) go out for the night with Lynda
d) go to the spa with Andrea
c) punch Colleen in the mouth

tillytips · 15/01/2009 12:07

Good perhaps she will stop mentioning Chris Evans every five bleedy minutes.

NAB3lovelychildren · 15/01/2009 12:10

Jayne MacDonald is also engaged.

LouMacca · 15/01/2009 12:19

Lets hope so tillytips! Getting married hasn't stopped Colleen mentioning Shane every 5 mins though!

BettyTurnip · 15/01/2009 21:53

Colleen - only has two things to say "When I was married to Shane..." and "Now I've lost weight..." Oh, fuck off. Can't bear her.

dietstartstomorrow · 16/01/2009 10:24

LOL Betty.

I hate Colleen & Sherie

Like Carol & Linda

Love Denise (she is so funny, especially talking about her hubby)

Not fussed about either of the 2 that present, bring back Kaye!

lovelysongbirdie · 16/01/2009 14:48

they haven't even been together long.

ewww

and i thought she didn't like kids.[baby hating cow]
i give it 2 years max more likely 6 months

CurlyhairedAssassin · 18/01/2009 23:24

She doesn't hate kids, I don't think. I've seen a few episodes where she has said that she recognises that she leads too selfish a life and enjoyed her drinking/socialising lifestyle too much to bring a child into it. Which is very sensible - she recognises that children are not just a fashion accessory to have on a whim - she knows they are a MASSIVE responsility and that when you have them, they have to come first.

It would be quite funny if she DOES go on to have any kids as I'm sure she's also said that careers and raising young kids don't mix. she's said something along the lines of "why have a child if you're going to put it in a nursery from 8-6 every day and never see it?"

Fragoluccia · 20/01/2009 11:10

Didn't she once say as well that she wouldn't give up her seat on the tube for a lady avec bump, on the grounds that pregnancy is a choice, not an illness? Ignorant cow! However despite that I have to admit I quite enjoy listening to her on LW, and if she's not on it I'm kind of disappointed...

ranting · 20/01/2009 11:20

I don't actually mind her, apart from her banging on about how poor she was as a child, actually IIRC she was way more successful in her chosen career when she married Chris Evans and I think she earned shedloads more than him at the time.

For the record I kind of love Linda Bellingham, don't mind Denise but, I loathe Colleen Nolan and that Jayne McDonald, Colleen, in particular appears to be auditioning for a part on Grumpy Old Women.

MrsTucky · 21/01/2009 18:39

I love Denise and her stories...think she's hilarious. Maybe's that's cos I'm from the NE too . Like Carol too, you always get a laugh outta her. Cannot stand Sherrie, when they announce her and she says to the audience "come on then, let's hear you"...aarrrghhhhh, I could strangle her when she does that.
Quite like Linda and Jane, and I think Andrea seems soo nice.
Rather bored with Coleen now.
I watched it when it very first started, when Kaye Adams presented, and then I stopped watching. What DID happen to Kaye?? Anyone know?
Have to admit tho, if I'm free I will make a point of putting it on

lottiejenkins · 21/01/2009 21:46

Kaye Adams

skay · 26/01/2009 14:16

Never watched a Complete Episode of Loose Women.
I wonder why?

Is it because none of them are worth watching?
