I love judy.

AmberLeaf · 25/05/2012 07:50

I like Judy.

She is about my Mums age, my mum is not in the greatest health [naff all to do with Gin!] and tbh that bad day pic looks a bit like my Mum after a rough sleepless night.

Bad health ages you.

Shame on all the 'judy looks awful' posters.

Pinot · 25/05/2012 08:14

Cheers Hilly.

LeeCoakley · 25/05/2012 08:21

I like her. I always thought we could be friends because we laughed at the same things and I loved her giggling.

MissAnnersley · 25/05/2012 08:22

Totally agree with Hilly. Great post. I think Judy is fab. Who cares what she looks like? Have we really bought in to the idea that televisions should only be populated by perfect specimens of youth?

Bollocks to that.

A bit of wear and tear is normal. A women in the public eye not making herself look ridiculous with botox and plastic surgery should be applauded.

Worked with Judy for a number of years back in the day. Saw her slightly tipsy once. At about 11pm at a wrap party. Was more amazed to see her at the party. Most presenters pay lip service to the work the team do. Not R&J.

There is no way you could present TM for 13 years, getting to studio for about 7am, if you were a piss head. Live telly is nerve wracking. Adrenaline makes you shake.

A highly intelligent & warm woman. With 4 great kids & a.successfully marriage & career. Who gives a flying feck what she looks like.

SpringHeeledJack · 25/05/2012 08:45

there's a lot of people saying what a nasty thread, and without a doubt that was the op's intention

but looook at all the 'I luff Judy' posts

there are stacks of 'em

this has warmed the cockles of me heart, it has

Aboutlastnight · 25/05/2012 08:56

I agree with shandy

Frontpaw · 25/05/2012 08:57

Why should it matter what she looks like. She's a journalist not a health n beauty guru.

It seems that any woman over 45 falls into either the 'hasn't she let herself go' or the 'Helen Mirren' category.

gettingalifenow · 25/05/2012 09:05

I hate it when tabloid rumours get reprinted again and again and they're not true.

I recall the 'drinks too much' story was firmly quashed as it was revealed she'd had knee surgery that she found it hard to recover from. And yet here we are, several years on and people still say it.

I like her now, I've always liked her. And I like him too.

And I hate to say it to younger posters on here who were nasty - we all get older and there comes a time when you look in the mirror and see that actually, that day has come. And I'm just thankful that I don't get any of the comments which JF seems to be suffering on here.

theressomethingaboutmarie · 25/05/2012 09:35

She doesn't look like a 44 year old at 64? BURN THE WITCH!! i really hoped that a website where feminism is seen as a positive thing would not have insensitive, misogynist (let's just value women only on their looks shall we?) posts like this one. Shall we criticise the looks of say Terry Wogan, John McCrirrick etc or are they okay because we focus on their talent and professionalism instead.

Pinot · 25/05/2012 09:40

I never look at Terry Wogan's face as I'm always trapped in the lure of viewing his cock

robotcornysilk · 25/05/2012 09:46

I love Judy too
Don't like Helen Mirren at all though

DumSpiroSpero · 25/05/2012 09:50

What shandy said.

I love this pic.

If I have a career I enjoy, a happy marriage and a relationship like that with my daughter when I'm in my sixties, I'll be well chuffed regardless of what I look like!

aliceinboots · 25/05/2012 10:10

It seems it's alright to bitch about people's appearance if they actually give a shit about looking good, trying to fight off the years and succumb to plastic surgery.
Then and only then it's fine to get stuck into how hideous they look.
So what if Joan Collins, Madonna, Vordeman etc have had "work"?

Look at the TOWIE thread. Young girls (and boys) wanting to look nice and in many cases being called tarty trollops, no doubt by the very same posters who are calling the OP an unsisterly bitch.

porcamiseria · 25/05/2012 10:23

Mean, mean, mean, MEAN! I like Judy

porcamiseria · 25/05/2012 10:24

Pinot, how have you seen Wogans cock?????

Pinot · 25/05/2012 10:27

Just for you Porca It's visible from the MOON :o

porcamiseria · 25/05/2012 10:28

ooof!

Vagaceratops · 25/05/2012 10:28

Porca - how have you not seen Wogan's cock! Every other link on MN is that sodding picture.

NurseBernard · 25/05/2012 10:29

Helen Mirren is Annoying

Pinot · 25/05/2012 10:30

@ ooof! Exactly!

porcamiseria · 25/05/2012 10:32

dunno! seen it now. might even email to work colleagues...actually, maybe best not !

kickingKcurlyC · 25/05/2012 10:39

Judy is lovely. Plus, I actually think she looks good for 64!

CrumpettyTree · 25/05/2012 10:42

Just looked her appearance on This Morning yesterday on Youtube and i think she looks ok.
