Poetic name. She looks good. Has her own views.

On the LIVE ITV news prog at 10 some days.

She's got a 2 year old and a 4 or 5 month old, I think, and therefore has no right to be on national TV looking that good and sounding that clever. If I didn't heart her I would hate her......

smellyeli · 11/02/2011 18:03

Also, I think she might be on MN

RipMacWinkle · 11/02/2011 18:06

Nah she rips my knitting.

Plus I heard a story about her from someone who worked with her. Can't remember the details. But it did reinforce my dislike.

Hardandsleazy · 11/02/2011 18:07

Erm (begs to differ ) - have you not seen her column in grazia? That column does nudge her for me into the klass territory (although to be fair she hasn't inflicted her views on parenting or a mother care range on us)

MrIC · 11/02/2011 18:08

how is she on TV at the moment, when she's on maternity leave from her BBC 6Music show?

KenDoddsDadsDog · 11/02/2011 18:09

She went to my school. I think she's a refreshing change from all the airheaded presenters that are around.

BonjourIvresse · 11/02/2011 18:11

She is best friends with myleene . She went down in my estimation when I found that out

fluffy91 · 11/02/2011 19:35

I would just like to say I met Lauren Laverne on set once and she was horrible!

Really rude and dismissive to everyone around her as if like a lot of celebrities she thought they were beneath her.

cocoachannel · 11/02/2011 19:50

She's friends with Klass? Yep, that's her downgraded in my estimations too!

GabbyLoggon · 12/02/2011 12:46

I think Miss Laverne may be too upfront for the BBC (which is a pity.)

The BBC girls seem to broadcast like walking on eggshells.

A bit to do with a recent court case; and the fact that age has become an issue.

The front presenters are the ones we know. But the real decisions are taken by people we never see.

I love Lauren Laverne.

I loved Kenickie, so whenever I see her I'm reminded of the halycon days of my youth. Grin

have never met her, though, so wouldn't be able to say if yabu in real life.

nickelbabe · 12/02/2011 12:50

see, i must love her - that's the first time i've ever given a real answer to one of Gabby's OPs! Shock

DramaInPyjamas · 12/02/2011 12:54

Kenickie were ace.

10'oClock Live however is shite.

GabbyLoggon · 12/02/2011 13:24

We ,of course, only know Miss Laurens
TV performance And thats what I am on about.

All famous people turn it on for the camera.
