She seems to be everywhere at the moment and it's dirving me insane, I dont dislike her but there is such a thing as overexposure.
And the rumour that she has been paid £400k for a total of 4 minutes "work" on the voice is rediculous if true Angry
Or AIBU and need to get a life for letting this annoy me so much Grin

YANBU. Next thing she'll be doing TV ads for dodgy secured loans or compensation law firms. I don't know why they do this - fixate on someone till they're everywhere and nobody can stand the bloody sight of them!

ifancyashandy · 16/04/2012 09:08

Don't like or dislike her. But she won't have been paid that for '4 mins work'. She's got the live shows to host from the week after next.

BagofHolly · 16/04/2012 09:11

YABU. She is fabulous.

BeaMinor · 16/04/2012 09:20

BagofHolly - are you her? Grin
tbh I am indifferent. If someone wanted to pay me millions for a wee bit of work I'd take it!

MissTapestry · 16/04/2012 09:23

So if you were her you'd say no thanks to the fuckton of £££ because people might not like it?? Grin

chimchar · 16/04/2012 09:28

yabu. i really like her. Smile

Mrsjay · 16/04/2012 09:38

It will be the editing on the voice that makes her look like she is hardly there and didnt she just have or about to have her new baby , I like holly i dont think she is everywhere though , there is more over exposed people on telly dont get me started on keith frigging lemon who IS everywhere atm ,

TotemPole · 16/04/2012 09:42

I've liked her on the programmes I've seen her in such as X or xtra factor the other year. I've caught the odd episode of Celebrity Juice and she's pretty entertaining on that.

It must be difficult in the presenting/acting business. Who knows when they are going to become less popular and employable. I wonder how many people think the next job could be their last so best to take whatever comes along.

MordecaiAndTheRigbys · 16/04/2012 09:44

She is on three things, three!!thats it!! How is that over exposed? And she has yet to do the battle rounds and the lives on the voice.

diddl · 16/04/2012 09:46

She´s not in anything I ever watch!

Seabright · 16/04/2012 09:47

MrsJay - I am so with you on Keith Lemon. What is he all about? Isn't funny, doesn't look funny, doesn't act funny. Auto-switch off

PosiePaques · 16/04/2012 09:51

I find her rather bland.

Mrsjay · 16/04/2012 09:55

Seabright , i just dont see why or how he is funny i see him on This Morning and they are all howling with laughter Hmm I didnt like Bo selcta either its the same guy who does both ,

limitedperiodonly · 16/04/2012 10:17

It's because people who commission TV programmes, run newspapers and magazines and decide on celebrities to front advertising campaigns are in the main clueless and live in fear of someone finding that out and sacking them.

So they have meetings where they say: 'Oh, Holly/Keith/Myleene/Vernon/SimilarPersonWho'sBeingEncouragedToOverreachTheirLimitedTalent, our viewers/readers/buyers love them. Let's do something on them quick before someone realises I am an unimaginative waste of space.'

Unless the celebrity is a vile cunt I don't blame them for cashing in while they can.

It all comes to an end one day. A few years ago you'd have to have been in a coma to avoid Kerry Katona. Now if she features at all it's as an Awful Warning.

Maybe the secret of Holly's figure will turn out to be a gastric band. That did for the ubiquitous Fern Britton (who, ironically was a good presenter).

SparklyVampire · 16/04/2012 10:41

I miss Fern on this morning, i don't dislike Holly. But im sure there are more than plenty of other presenters who could host The Voice for example, she just seems a bit too err "mumsy" to fit iyswim?

must admit i get a bick sick of the sight of her norks

squoosh · 16/04/2012 10:48

MrsJay you are so right about Keith Lemon. How does this guy get tv programmes commissioned? He's about as funny as a poke in the eye and makes stuff like My Family (retch) look cutting edge.

All I can think is that he must have major blackmailing dirt on some top executives.

As for Holly, meh, she's just a bit bland. She's the new Myleene. Although thanks be to God and all the Heavenly Saints that Myleene seems to have retreated somewhat. Long may this continue.

squoosh · 16/04/2012 10:50

And yes SparklyVampire she is strangely mumsy for such a young and attractive woman. Sitting next to that dickhead Phillip Schofield can't help. Now he is everywhere. The Ubiquitous Dickquitous.

Clytaemnestra · 16/04/2012 11:01

She's been on for 4 minutes SO FAR.
She's presenting the battle rounds and live shows, she'll get a lot more screen time later on.
