She is dreadful, and yet she's still there. So many crimes too. Angry

She is awful. She makes my skin crawl.

Strangling folk, making Peter Andre cry, upsetting relatives of April Jones live on air, and yesterday asking why Kate 'still looked pregnant'. What next?

When she moaned ecstatically 'it's a boooy' I really felt like kicking the telly. You would have thought it was her first grandchild or something.

CabbageLooking · 24/07/2013 10:32

I must have missed her strangling people. And it's not hard to make Peter Andre cry. The April Jones thing was appalling though and if she really asked why Kate still looked pregnant then she's clearly a bit dim.

I thought her shift had ended when the baby was born. All day she had spent inanely wittering about bog all. Then she's still there!

How after the throttling incident can she 'report' on something as lovely as a Royal baby??? Angry

I agree, she's a narcissist of the highest order. Her greatest excitement yesterday was when Prince Charles called her Kay. She's so cringing.

ChickensHaveNoEyebrows · 24/07/2013 10:38

I don't think she's human. Some kind of heartless, ruthlessly ambitious android. Dead behind the eyes, see

angelos02 · 24/07/2013 10:39

I thought she lost her job back when she made the insensitive comments during the April Jones disappearance. I was surprised to see her on the news reporting on the royal baby.

Morgause · 24/07/2013 10:40

Awful woman. No redeeming features at all. I remember her telling people looking for a missing child that it was no a murder enquiry. One woman burst into tears.

She should have been sacked the same day.

Sparklingbrook · 24/07/2013 10:40

I bet Prince Charles has a nickname for her bamboo. Same as the weaselly Nicholas Witchell who everyone knows he can't stand.

KB appears to not be on Sky News right this minute. It's a miracle.

I need to know why KB is still on the TV.

Oh dear, do we want her to hate us as well as Amanda Holden. Grin

MarmaladeTwatkins · 24/07/2013 10:51

She is a twat. Although I did chuckle when she made Peter Andre sob. She knew which buttons to press there.

She is like a real-life Beattie Johnson from Riders/Rivals. A real bitchface.

LessMissAbs · 24/07/2013 10:56

If she made Peter Andre cry on live tv, she must surely have got a backhander from his management?

AllThatGlistens · 24/07/2013 10:56

I wish there was a "like" button for Marmalade's post! I shall forever think of her as Beattie now Grin

encyclogirl · 24/07/2013 10:57

I think Sky's Royal correspondent, Paul Harrision, was really fed up of her by the end of it all. It was his gig and she totally muscled in it and tried to make it the Kay Show.

I did laugh when they had a bitchy little back and forth about Charles.

Paul: At least I got him to talk to me
Kay: Actually Paul he was talking to me
Paul: I think you'll find it was me
Kay: No.

I bet he hates her!

stickingattwo · 24/07/2013 10:58

We watched her a bit for pure comedy value. She's a terrible presenter.

Sparklingbrook · 24/07/2013 11:00

I heard that too encyclogirl. Cringe!

Apparently she is the longest serving newsreader on British TV. A case of quantity not quality, clearly.

I liked it when she said Kate had arrived at the bingo wing in two cars
:o

motownmover · 24/07/2013 11:03

Actually I think that she has survived and had such a long career is pretty amazing really - know someone who worked with her in the early days.

Especially when she is so often referred to as an "awful woman" like some kind of sexist BS.

Sparklingbrook · 24/07/2013 11:05

It's amazing that she has had a long career despite being bloody awful. She is an awful person.

OP posts:
ShadeofViolet · 24/07/2013 11:05

She seems to have crossed the 'hard hitting' line and just become hard faced.

The PA thing was hilarious though. Carby Claire probably set it up.
