that youtube link is soo funny, i really was lol-ing

dizzydixies · 26/03/2009 17:21

fimbo - you mean you like her or you like her name Willybooby?!?!

I'm not keen on Kay Adams, I find her a bit serious. I definitely wouldn't want Ruth Langsford...but if she's the bookie's favourite then I guess it's likely? I wouldn't imagine she's popular enough with the viewers though?

I think Sally Lindsay would be good. I like her. Maybe a bit ditzy though.

I have a nightmare vision - it brings me out in a cold sweat but I have to say it just to make sure it doesn't happen... Tess Daly and Vernon whatsisface - arggghhh!!! Can just imagine someone saying in some boardroom somewhere, "yes, we need to keep the younger audience interested, what about this loverley couple - northern, "down to earth" (ie. not posh), funny, glamorous, "professional". Can you imagine?????!

Didn't Lisa Tarbuck get a right pasting on the "celebrity secrets" thread on Sleb twaddle - people saying that she wasn't very nice in real life or am I getting her mixed her with someone else?

Like Kay Adams but can't imagine her doing makeover tosh without glazing over.

But it needs someone who is warm and approachable (like Fern, sob) and, although I like Kay Adams, she doesn't ooze that. Liza Tarbuck is a bit too earthy - have you ever heard such a dirty laugh? Colleen Nolan tried it once before with Twiggy and it bombed. Hate Anthea (and too close to Eamonn on a Friday to risk her!) and Fiona Phillips is trite and patronising. Also, not sure she's that bright - her attempts to interview "serious" guests on GMTV (like Gordon Brown in the old days, before he started trying to be jolly to win over the electorate) was painful to watch. Or was it hilarious? And as for the Heather McCartney debacle! Anyway, she's out, in my book. I shall be Switching Off if any of them get it.
Apart from Emma Forbes, that is. I like her, and so does Philip. Do you reckon he gets a say?

dizzydixies · 26/03/2009 21:13

Lorraine Kelly?

mrsmaidamess · 26/03/2009 21:31

OH PLEASE GOD NOT HER.

No one makes me want to lob a croc through the telly more than Gurning Kelly.

mrsmaidamess · 26/03/2009 21:31

Sarah Greene?

dizzydixies · 26/03/2009 21:32

that'll be a no then mrsmaidamess? shall score her off the list of demands potentials!

mrsmaidamess · 26/03/2009 21:33

Oh I see she's been mentioned already

coochicoo · 26/03/2009 21:36

I agree that Emma Forbes might be good. I'm sure Phillip must gets a say, after all he has to work with them and form a relationship with them.

Barking · 26/03/2009 21:59

Yes to Liza Tarbuck.

Glitterknickaz · 26/03/2009 22:08

Nobody else think Melanie Sykes could do it? Also thinking Nadia Swalha....

who cares?

dizzydixies · 26/03/2009 22:15

apparently everyone else on the thread noddy but thanks for the input

noddyholder · 26/03/2009 22:18

oh ok.didn't think she was that popular tbh but i don't do morning telly so will keep quiet.

dizzydixies · 26/03/2009 22:19

I love Fern but only because I'm jealous - she's married to a chef, gets to laugh all day at her work (or so it appears) and she looks fab

noddyholder · 26/03/2009 22:21

can't believe anyone thinks all that laughing is genuine.

herbie, you can have my vote - as long as you're aware that apparently nobody cares and all the laughing is fake you'll get on great

pointydog · 26/03/2009 22:29

Can't stand Fern. Don't watch breakfast tv so don't care as long as she doesn't pop up when I am watching. I find her a little sinister

cutekids · 27/03/2009 10:32

i think that weather girl on gmtv...not the one who presents Loose Women...with dark hair would be good.Or what about thingy...woman who presents Big Brother???
