To think Andrea McClean is a bellend?

SomeDizzyWhore1804 · 11/12/2013 12:37

I've been off sick for bloody ages now with pregnancy sickness and mainly bed bound so there's been a lot of daytime telly.

With every day that passes I hate Andrea McClean a little but more.

This is mainly based on her annoying head girl style of presenting that makes me want to punch her hard and also due to an article I read about her years ago where she was really smug about having only slept with men she had then gone on to marry because she was a "good girl" (knobhead).

Is it my hormones making me despise her or is this reasonable?

I can't stand her either, she always comes across as being really sickly sweet. So to me YANBU.

MammaTJ · 11/12/2013 13:20

YANBU!

Smugness about only sleeping with men she went on to marry, for goodness sake! What if one of them had got cold feet? She wouldn't have been so smug then!

Sparklingbrook · 11/12/2013 13:22

She's doing something up a crane at the moment.....

Greg Davies is lovely though. I would.

curiousgeorgie · 11/12/2013 13:23

I hate her too.

I once saw her on some cookery programme and she was talking about growing up in the Caribbean and said "It probably sounds idyllic... It was. I've had a perfect life."

Did she have a pre-shag pre-nup then? YANBU.

Pobblewhohasnotoes · 11/12/2013 13:31

I don't like her either. She's like a wet lettuce, has no opinion about anything.

namechange74 · 11/12/2013 13:33

Agree with you all - she seems to have very little in the way of a sense of humour too, she's a crashing bore.

bigBum1 · 11/12/2013 13:34

Have a google about the gangster film she was in with Gianni off Eastenders. It was a front for money laundering in the end, but I remember her being so smug about having a role in a film.

bigBum1 · 11/12/2013 13:35
Looks terrible!
WaffilyVersatile · 11/12/2013 14:26

She is not a bellend. A bellend has 2 uses (maybe 3)

HettiePetal · 11/12/2013 14:33

Absolutely cannot stand her.

I did laugh like a drain when the film she was in turned out to be a complete con.

Heartbrokenmum73 · 11/12/2013 14:36

I think if my only foray into the world of film was in a film including Gianni from Eastenders I'd change my identity!

LexieSinclair · 11/12/2013 14:45

Agree with everyone - she is an irritating knob.

musicismylife · 11/12/2013 14:49

I am going to go against the grain here. I have seen her on television and I think her personality is just sweet and probably quite vulnerable, that being said, I don't know her.

There is nothing wrong with having an air of innocence about you, but I do not think you win people over by gloating on this fact.

Non-virgins acting virginal really is a no-no.

letsgotothebeach · 11/12/2013 14:56

YANBU. Cant bear watching anything with her on, and dont like her ironed forehead either!

MarmaladeBatkins · 11/12/2013 14:56

YANBU. She is as boring as arse.

oscarwilde · 11/12/2013 15:03

I can honestly say that I've never heard of her and I've had two maternity leaves in 4 yrs holidays if you speak to DH
Who is she?
Also "slept with men she went on to marry" How many marriages has she had? She's not a Cbeebies presenter then I guess?

GideonKipper · 11/12/2013 15:08

I thought she cheated on her first husband with the man who became her second? I'm sure she cheated on some bugger anyway. Not all that perfect.

Pobblewhohasnotoes · 11/12/2013 15:09

She's a presenter on Loose Women. But never answers a question, just sort of stutters a lot.

paulapantsdown · 11/12/2013 15:11

She's too sweet to be wholesome that one.

SomeDizzyWhore1804 · 11/12/2013 16:57

I'm so glad I'm not alone. She is bloody awful. Loose Women was made bearable by Greg Davies today though. He looked bemused throughout.

And yes according to the article I read she married her childhood sweetheart and then cheated on him with the man who went on to become husband no 2. But they're divorced now so I'm guessing her numbers are up.

Can't stand her.

lemonforyourlime · 11/12/2013 18:28

I know lots of celebs . Many of them are arseholes . She is actually very nice .

Dogsmom · 11/12/2013 18:58

I'm not keen either, I hate the way she over pronounces words to make them seem more dramatic and she's had waaaaaaayyyyy (as she would say) too much botox.
