AIBU to not get why Tess Daly pulls those faces

mumsfretter · 28/10/2012 19:26

I mean is it a nervous thing because it just looks bizarre?

AIBU to just not get why nobody has told her to stop, am I alone on this?

What faces?

BupcakesAndHaunting · 28/10/2012 19:28

I know the faces.

It's the gurns, isn't it?

mumsfretter · 28/10/2012 19:29

I've always thought it's all just part of her 'professional northerner' act.

All that kind of ee by gum shit.

Tedious.

HeinousHecate · 28/10/2012 19:32

who? is there a link to this gurning woman?

HappyHalloweenMotherFucker · 28/10/2012 19:32

she is certainly very tedious

I am a "Northerner" and none of us act like that

mumsfretter · 28/10/2012 19:33

it's so dated and dumbed down

Some people can't help it. I'm one of them. Nervous type. No amount of telling me will enable me to stop. But then I'm not a presenter on the telly.

But even if I was, why are people so fussy? What's wrong with a bit of gurning? Are you perfect?

mumsfretter · 28/10/2012 19:37

No definitely not perfect mluddy but none of us are and this board would be pretty quiet if we didn't have opinions on anything.

She's expressive. Better than a "wooden" face.

SucksToBeScaryMe · 28/10/2012 19:41

She annoys the hell out of me ,and Brucie. I want Anton to present SCD.

ladymariner · 28/10/2012 20:58

I can't bear her, I've started recording it so I can just fast forward her and Bruce......dreadful pair.

Graham Norton to present it, he was born for it!

Loveweekends10 · 28/10/2012 23:18

Graham Norton pulls some right faces though and no one minds at all.
She annoys me but I don't know why. I don't think it's the faces.

Sparklingbroomstick · 28/10/2012 23:20

She just annoys me full stop. Apparently there is no love lost between her and DVO either. Wink

Loveweekends10 · 28/10/2012 23:21

DVO?

GreenEyesAndHam · 28/10/2012 23:21

I'm not a Tess Daly fan by any means, but the woman is mid-forties. She's doing something right, even if that something is gurning and surgery.

Sparklingbroomstick · 28/10/2012 23:22

Denise Van Outen Love. The one whose smile never reaches her eyes. Sad

out2lunch · 28/10/2012 23:24

why did they let paloma faith ruin that lovely song tonight ?

Sparklingbroomstick · 28/10/2012 23:25

She had already ruined it for the John Lewis twee advert out. Shame because I like Paloma Faith. Sad

SooOOOoolooOOOooo · 28/10/2012 23:25

I can just about cope with the gurning, but when she wears short dresses! ugh!! dreadful legs and she stands badly too...and that awful thing she was wearing a couple of weeks ago too! the one with her boobs hanging out of the sides! Shock yuk!!!!!

AlreadyScone · 28/10/2012 23:26

It's a bit music-hall for telly, isn't it.

Sparklingbroomstick · 28/10/2012 23:27

And she's married to that eejit Vernon Kay. Can't be fun.

ButtonBoo · 29/10/2012 07:51

So it detracts from Brucie not being able to read his lines from the autocue?! Terrible. Both of them. But she certainly seems to be carrying him this season.

She bugs the crap out of me too. Think it's something to do with her OTT 'we're all such great bum chums...oh such fun!' shit.

Bet she snorts when she laughs too.
