I just don't like the girl but I don't know why. Discuss.

I just don't understand why she's so successful on the box. Or the radio. But then I've never understood the appeal of Terry Wogan either.

FranSanDisco · 20/11/2010 08:55

NO no I meant this isn't commonist as she isn't posh - god got up too early and no heating in this god forsaken house.

CamperFan · 20/11/2010 09:10

YANBU, there is something v unpleasant about her. She looks a bit mean.

gapbear · 20/11/2010 09:37

I like her.

She shows it's OK to be different, and I really like her quirky dress sense. It's up to her whether she has tattoos or not (personally, I'm not keen on them), and I think it would be very unfair to blame her if your DC got a tattoo.

PassionKiss · 20/11/2010 09:40

DH fancies her Shock

I think she's tres annoying but I am growing to quite love Holly Willoughby

PassionKiss · 20/11/2010 09:41

I mean too long

c0rns1lk · 20/11/2010 09:41

I don't dislike her. I think she could be quite funny/entertaining in future years.She just hasn't got much to say really - she's so young. She's not in the same league as Sara Cox for instance.

yama · 20/11/2010 09:46

She just doesn't ever said anything interesting.

Also, she is very sycophantic to anyone she is interviewing.

Silverten - thank you. It makes sense that she is related to someone high up. I could never understand her appeal. I think the 'yoof' deserve better.

yama · 20/11/2010 09:47

say

c0rns1lk · 20/11/2010 09:49

yes I agree with the sycophantic bit-was most disappointed that she didn't take the opportunity to take the piss out of Peaches Geldof.

Ivegotmrbitey · 20/11/2010 09:55

I hate her too, not sure why maybe it's because she is false? No hang on, I do know why - she doesn't come across as remotely bright but speaks as though she is saying things of great importance and I should hang off her every word.
Love Sara Cox though.

silverten · 20/11/2010 10:58

Yes. Sycophantic- that's exactly the word!

I wouldn't exactly pin all the blame on her for tattoos (argh spelling!), that would be unfair, but I just feel that if children see one of their role models with them, they will more easily accept the idea that it's OK to have them. This could be a life-limiting error for them, or just a permanent embarassment, which is what I have a bit of a problem with.

NinkyNonker · 20/11/2010 11:08

Yanbu. She irritated the help out of me,even just listening to her flat,rough,dulled down voice grates intensely.

Maisiethemorningsidecat · 20/11/2010 12:51

Sara Cox is Fern's even more annoying older sister! Shock

In fact, some of the most annoying presenters on 'ra telly are -

Miquita Oliver
Sara Cox
Fern
Edith (I don't pronounce my ts because I am simply way too cool) Bowman

My teeth ache just typing their names

NorbertDentressangle · 20/11/2010 12:58

They only thing more annoying than Fearne Cotton is ...................Fearne Cotton when she teams up with her equally vacuous friend Holly Willoughby.

cryhavoc · 20/11/2010 13:11

YANBU.

Can't think of any particular reason why I hate her so much, I just do!

purpleduck · 20/11/2010 13:11

edith ?? How can anyone hate her??? She's lovely, funny, knows music and seems to have a wide range of interests, She rocks.

Not as much as Jo Whiley tho.

Sara Cox has grown on me - I quite like her now. I'm hating the radio 1 drive time show with "I'm a twat" whatever his name is. He can't carry the show on his own he just can't.

Ferne..... I like that she LIKES music. It is radio after all. But her voice seriously grates on me. Sorry Ferne.

NorbertDentressangle · 20/11/2010 13:16

Sara Cox can be quite funny at times so I don't mind her. Although saying that I rarely listen to the radio- I might think differently if I had to listen to her every day. Same goes for Edith Bowman.

Can't stand Jo Whiley though. Really grates on me.

begonyabampot · 20/11/2010 13:18

edith is lovely and what about her T's? it's very common not pronounce t's from her part of the world - it's a bit of an affliction for us - nothing cool about it.

Maisiethemorningsidecat · 20/11/2010 14:12

Fifers are perfectly able to pronounce their ts - got friends from there, and DH works over there. They all seem to manage fine - perhaps they just don't feel the need to inflict their affliction on others Grin

Nah, still one of the 4 most annoying presenters

FetchezLaVache · 20/11/2010 22:53

I've only ever heard Fearne on the radio once and it was in the waiting room when my midwife's appointments were running 30 mins late. I registered my highest ever blood pressure reading that day!! God, she's so utterly vapid, but like IGMB says, talks like you should find her fascinating, even if it's an utterly nothing anecdote about going to her nan's for tea the night before with her sister and watching TV with a blanket over them, IIRC. Definitely makes my hand itch.

MrsColumbo · 20/11/2010 23:03

Oh my God, but Fearne's just so, like, brilliant, cool and totally amazing, yeah? Come on, you guys, I mean, she's just soooooooooo cool. Wow!
No, YANBU. She's not hateworthy, just not interesting. So why am I talking about her?Confused

PinkieMinx · 20/11/2010 23:06

I thinks she's Ok. Very attractive and seems nice enough. Worse people to BU about

flibbertigibbert · 20/11/2010 23:13

Can't stand her. I can't really explain why, but she really grates on me.

I'm also not a fan of the excessively perky Holly Willoughby who always looks a bit too trussed up. I think she should cut her hair into a sleek bob.

Argh and as I typed that the two of them popped up on tv on the 'Very' ad.

TarheelMama · 21/11/2010 12:10

YANBU. I can't stand Fearne Cotton. Was also no great fan of Sara Cox. They both talk and talk and talk and never really say anything. Which would be fine if they were at least funny.
