To want to give Katie Cbeebies a good bath

Seriously, what is with the new look stringy straggly hair. I find her hard to take with her wrinkly nose at the best of times but at least her hair always looked washed and well groomed. Right now, I wouldn't let her near my kitchen not to mind cook with my kids. I feel like spraying her with Milton spray!!

Who are these people who have time to sit down and watch Cbeebies? The tv's on in our house but I wouldn't notice if Katie had blue hair, let alone whether she'd washed it or not.

HereHareHere · 24/02/2012 17:58

YANBU. Her hair is hideous. Floppy and manky-looking!

JaneMare · 24/02/2012 17:58

i think she's trying to catch Sid's eye Wink

katie from cbeebies, not you Duchess Grin

SuePurblybilt · 24/02/2012 19:34

I'd catch Sid's eye. Yum.
She's morphing into full-on durtyhippy. She'll have that guitar out again before you can say 'tedious'.

JaneMare · 24/02/2012 19:48

altoogevva naaaaaahhh...

you put an egg in a bowl and whisk whisk whisk, wipe it off the floor like this this this...

pleasethanks · 24/02/2012 19:59

Oh don't get me started on the nose thing. Claire from Steps used to do that when she sang too.

purplepansy · 24/02/2012 20:08

YABU! She's great. I love I can cook - it is DD's favourite programme, and we do loads of cooking together now. 'Sleeves rolled up, aprons tied, what can you do? I CAN COOK!' Love it!! Who cares what her hair is like!!

Chubfuddler · 24/02/2012 20:09

Leave katy alone. She's ace.

Mumof1plustwins · 24/02/2012 20:11

" What can you do? I can POO"
Is what we shout in our house when Katie is on Grin
< shrug >

MayaAngelCool · 24/02/2012 20:11

I haven't seen this new hair look but OY! Leave it aht! Katie (and lovely Sid!) are the BEST presenters on CBeebies.

SofaKing · 24/02/2012 20:12

DD loves her, but she is very orange.

So much so that I once spent 15 min trying to adjust the contrast on the tv before I changed channel and realised that it was fine.

So yanbu, as long as it washes off her fake tan as well.

nizlopi · 24/02/2012 20:16

Urg, she's the worst. She's always SO flat when she sings.

Tanith · 24/02/2012 20:31

She only sang in Series 1. I reckon that was the first thing to be culled for Series 2.

I did prefer the nice, clear sloppy-dippy soap and the Series 1 garden, though.

And I HATE the Out and About Series 3. I never thought I'd ever say "Get back in the Kitchen!" to another woman...

Rogerbacon · 24/02/2012 21:27

I would like to give her something and it wouldn't be a good bath. She looked very tasty today on the birthday link

MsVestibule · 24/02/2012 21:32

Roger, were you rubbing your thighs a la Shooting Stars when you wrote that?

Bearcrumble · 24/02/2012 21:38

She's got a shovel chin. Can't believe a man would fancy her when there's eg. Nina to perve over.

I think Katie is nice enough.

The one I can't stand is Nisha. Anyone notice how much Ceri hated having to share presenting duties with her?

RaPaPaPumPumBootyMum · 24/02/2012 22:18

I haven't particularly noticed her hair recently...

But I also cannot stand the way she wrinkles her nose and bares her teeth.

There is something smug and over enthusiastic and also pushy about her.

And her pinchy parrot annoys me.

She is just so drama school jolly hockey sticks head girl.

Not my favourite presenter really... Grin

cupidsabsolutepsyche · 24/02/2012 22:37

Mumof1plustwins - nearly spat my wine out at that! brilliant Grin

I don't like Katy but her hair at least moves about now. She had Lego hair before.

xmyboys · 24/02/2012 22:40

I did think hair looked odd today. Thought it was someone new initially??

FetchezLaVache · 24/02/2012 22:43

BC, I did! I hate Same Smile, but I like Nisha. In fact I like all of the presenters except Katie, she just seems so insincere, somehow, and everything RPPPPBM said.

IHaveMichaelMcintyresHair · 24/02/2012 23:04

Oh, pooor Katy. Now you've made me feel all sorry for her. The new hair I took to be a desperate attempt to update her a bit frumpy image a bit.

They're all a bit of a sorry lot at the moment. Stop making me cringe cbeebies!

RaPaPaPumPumBootyMum · 02/03/2012 14:36

And the new Andy and Sid Number Raps are rubbish!

NorfolkNChance · 02/03/2012 16:29

Katie just comes across as a bit shouty and try-hard.

RaPaPaPumPumBootyMum · 03/03/2012 11:07

Yes, she's very stage school isn't she.

No genuine warmth there.

heartmoonshadow · 03/03/2012 15:45

I am going to be really bitchy now - I wish she wouldn't wear skinny jeans as she has got bandy legs.
