Not sure exactly why but I really cannot stand,her and,she ruins dancing on ice for me.

She just seems,too much of a WAG and really false. I don't feel like she,cares about any of the contestants on the show and is way too thin. She's not a good,presenter either.

What do others think?

I think she is a bit non-descript, nothing about how she looks or presents jumps out at me as good or bad. There are far worse presenters on TV but many better as well.

ifancyashandy · 17/02/2013 20:13

I think her presenter skills are lacking.

I think she had an established career before she fell in love with her footie boyfriend.

I think she looks stunning. Not too thin. I hate the way women criticise other women for their appearance.

cleoowen · 17/02/2013 20:24

I was criticising her more for,her presenting skills and lack of empathy in my opinion. I cannot understand how she has managed to have a career in presenting. She just doesn't seem genuine and,has no connection with the audience or any of,the team on dancing on ice.

I was put off her by an article she wrote for Glamour magazine a couple of years ago, about how the press had published a photo of her looking fat.

She didn't look remotely fat, and it made me cross. She didn't even have a roll of fat on her, she had one normal skin roll and was sitting on a boat in a bikini.

I stopped buying Glamour after that - cancelled my subscription. I just felt that if they were publishing a woman of her size saying she looked fat, then they didn't represent me (definitely fat)

I've never taken to her since that.

'...and is way too thin'.

Criticism of a woman's apprearance, no?

TidyDancer · 17/02/2013 20:36

YANBU. Can't stand the woman.

RobinSparkles · 17/02/2013 20:38

How come she's presenting Dancing On Ice? What's happened to Holly?

Porkster · 17/02/2013 20:38

I know it's wrong to say it, but I can't stand her accent.

Hi there, I don't know if I have my facts right but I feel that she 'stole' Frank Lampard from Ellen Rivas. Was there an overlap or not?

TWinklyLittleStar · 17/02/2013 20:40

Holly left to do The Voice

I'm from belfast and I can't stand her voice either.

RobinSparkles · 17/02/2013 20:40

"Death is far too good for both of them."

That's a bit harsh!

MrsCR · 17/02/2013 20:40

Way too thin, she has CHANGED - whats going on with her? Trying to prove something after daybreak disaster perhaps?

Wrong

merlottits · 17/02/2013 20:41

Awful presenter, unpleasant on the ear accent, horses teeth, no empathy, just horrible. Bleugh.

superstarheartbreaker · 17/02/2013 20:41

I think saying that deeath is far too good for both of them is a little extreme! Good gracious but for some reason I have her down as a home wrecker.

Oreocrumbs · 17/02/2013 20:42

She really irritates me too. I think she is very wooden and always looks condescending and like she has much better things to be doing then talking to this pleb.

whateveritakes · 17/02/2013 20:42

I hate the way women criticise other women for their appearance.

So do I but it's all about appearance. Why doesn't anyone go on with their own style instead of identikit bright dress, flicky hair, heels.

whateveritakes · 17/02/2013 20:43

Put me off when she said she didn't like dogs.

Hopefully that's put her out of the running for any nature type programmes.

ThingsThatMakeYouGoHmmmmmmmmm · 17/02/2013 20:44

Frank Lampard......on the plump side............really??Hmm

PuffPants · 17/02/2013 20:45

I don't like her accent or her orange Oompa Loompa-ness. She looks radioactive.

That aside I do think she has a cracking body, very gym-fit rather than diet-coke and fags thin.

I think she will disappear to the US soon with Frank. She won't get work out there though as they won't be able to understand her.

Arisbottle · 17/02/2013 20:46

Totally unnecessary to judge someone based on their looks but she does have an image issue and finds it difficult to connect . She comes across quite cold for me and lacking in personality.

mynewpassion · 17/02/2013 20:47

My pet hate for her was her incessant giggling on Daybreak. That was annoying. Other than that, she's ok.

I think Frank and Elen had already broken up awhile before he got together with Christine.

NoraSpect · 17/02/2013 20:48

Yanbu. I can't stand her.

Trazzletoes · 17/02/2013 20:50

There was no overlap as far as I am aware and I'm addicted to celeb mags

wigglesrock · 17/02/2013 20:51

Jesus, she's too skinny, she's too orange, she "stole" her boyfriend, people can't understand her accent - fuck me I'm not her biggest fan but its all a bit extreme isn't it? So don't watch?
