She is so professional and nice and I just wish she was in my TV more. I just think she seems like one of life's genuinely nice people. I wish she was my Aunt

She'll be on tv on a very regular basis from January as she has signed up with Channel 4 to be their lead anchor for Channel 4 Racing. They broadcast every Saturday, plus all the major mid-week meetings, though she won't do every single one.

i love her and think she has done a wonderful job for women in sport presenting, she has made it no longer dominated by men. she is the olympic 2012 presenter

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 09/09/2012 22:42

YANBU.

She is fucking ace.

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 09/09/2012 22:42

PS I too am completely in love with Adam. Completely and utterly :)

Great party tonight too I thought - the proper closing ceremony !

RedBlanket · 09/09/2012 22:48

I take it all back, her hair looks fab tonight. She's obviously been lurking.

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 09/09/2012 22:48

I thought that too Juggling. This has knocked spots off the Olympic closing ceremony. Far more cohesion and focus and just, well, better! Coldplay - and I don't even like them much - have done an amazing job.

All been utterly brilliant from start to finish.....don't want to speak too soon but I bet there are a few security head honchos quietly exhaling too!!

Go You Big Red Fire Engine!
Love Adam!

Parrish · 09/09/2012 23:29

If you see his stand up, go on the night with the interpreter for the deaf. He totally loves this night and says lots of rude words to watch her hand gestures. Filthy and inclusive. Love it.

itsatrap · 10/09/2012 00:22

Did you know she basically invented the mobot?! I ruddy love er!

comixminx · 10/09/2012 01:49

Anyone catch her on that daytime telly program about books that Anne Robinson does? It was here and Hardeep Singh Koli this week, very good it was. Her chosen childhood book was Black Beauty, probably no big surprises there for someone so involved with horses!

LostInWales · 10/09/2012 09:50

Humph. Thanks Bossy, as if my Monday couldn't get any worse Wink.

I'm going to have to get into horse racing now aren't I?

FrankelSaysRelax · 10/09/2012 10:26

Happy to help you out Lost Grin

Start by reading up on the horse "Mill Reef", who was trained by her father Ian.
