I did like this story about Christine Bleakley being dumped by the BBC. No-one's irreplaceable!

Yay! I think she sucks as a presenter, actually.

FabIsGettingFit · 20/06/2010 17:42

Ha ha.

That will teach her to believe the hype.

I am sure they could get Joe/Jayne Bloggs off the dole queue to do this job and be just as good.

Aitch · 20/06/2010 17:43

lololol, that'll fuck her up for negotiations with GMTV. yes expat, i actually think she came across as a really nice woman on Strictly but she is a shockingly bad presenter.

BendyBob · 20/06/2010 17:43

Oh god Bleakley - what on earth is the big deal with her? I do not get it

expatinscotland · 20/06/2010 17:45

Um, I guess the big deal about her is that she is now a WAG.

BendyBob · 20/06/2010 17:47

Not a patch on my absolute favourite Kirsty Young. Def should be more KY on tv imo.

Itsjustafleshwound · 20/06/2010 17:47

In these belt fastening times or with the shtick that the BBC has taken wrt salaries and 'stars' she was really on thin ice ...

I am sure she is nice enough ...

traceybath · 20/06/2010 17:47

Thought it was just me who didn't get the Bleakley thing.

FabIsGettingFit · 20/06/2010 17:49

Oh no, not KY. She spoilt Desert Island Discs for me.

BitOfFun · 20/06/2010 18:07

I love Kirsty Young- she has the same effect on me as Nigella does on Anyfucker. Christine Bleakley is awful- if she was chocolate she'd eat herself.

JaxTellersOldLady · 20/06/2010 18:10

I dont like her presenting style, actually she doesnt have any style. And I have to switch off the 1 show. Didnt care much for Adrian Chiles either, so I say good riddance to both of them!

SleepingLion · 20/06/2010 18:14

I don't get why she is suddenly so huge in TV terms - is it all about dating Frank Lampard? She seems very ordinary to me as a presenter - nothing that marks her out from any of the other so-so presenters on TV.

Well that's her comeuppance. Shoudl deter other 'stars' tryign to hold channels over barrels fro more money. I rarely watch the one show, too busy putting dc to bed at that time, but when I have watched it seems a load of tiresome wank aimed at octogenerians. And her voice made me want to punch things

tigerbear · 20/06/2010 22:16

Oooh, I was going to start a thread earlier about this - WHY on earth are the so called 'news' channels reporting about this like it's a big deal - it's not news FFS!!!

I don't get it - why is she suddenly EVERYWHERE???
She must have a good agent!

SleepingLion · 20/06/2010 22:34

Good agent or high-profile boyfriend? Let's face it, the only two WAGs who would have made the newspapers/celeb mags on their own merits are Victoria Beckham and Cheryl Cole - the rest are just hitching a ride on their partner's fame. And while Ms Bleakley was moderately known before, you've got to admit that she played a blinder snaring a footballer - brought her right into the public eye.

She is someone who has got famous since I have lived in Oz so I'm not really sure who she is apart from being another TV presenter.

Is the One Show that early evening thing that Myleene Klass used to do?

HarlotOTara · 21/06/2010 05:39

Well that has made my day - I can't stand her and have found her so irritating - never watch GMTV so she has disappeared from my life now.

kreecherlivesupstairs · 03/07/2010 16:26

I am very cross that she is to be reunited with the crush of my life, the delectable Adrian. She is toooooooooo annoying and sycophantic.
