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?

Whilst we are resurrecting why we detest Andrea McClean, may I remind us all of Exhibit A, that fucking book she wrote about herself, the final chapter of which was entitled "Keepin' It Real".

Talking of female presenters Fiona Phillips was on my TV earlier. I am assuming it was an April Fool?

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 01/04/2015 09:32

She wrote a book Shock , what about?

What is her claim to fame other than reading a weather autocue?

CelibacyCakeAndFuckThePO · 01/04/2015 09:39

Ooo Andrea Barney love, chill your tits.

Sparklingbrook the OP was me on a previous name change. My DD is 9 months old on Sunday. I never did stop being sick- ended up in hospital January til March on a drip! DD is worth it though.

Oh and it wasn't hormones... I still think Andrea McClean is a bellend.

Sparklingbrook · 01/04/2015 10:06

Grin Staircase bet you had a shock seeing your thread. Congrats on your new arrival from 9 months ago. Smile Flowers

expatinscotland · 01/04/2015 10:07

She's a dick.

Sparklingbrook · 01/04/2015 10:19

I think if you don't watch Loose Women she is easily avoided.

squoosh · 01/04/2015 11:54

Next we'll have some outraged fan resurrecting a spleen venting Alan Titchmarsh thread from 2004.

Scabetty · 01/04/2015 12:03

I really think Andrea googled herself didn't she Barney?

MargotLovedTom · 01/04/2015 12:13

Oh OP you changed your name! Cemetry sic Gates is my all time favourite Smiths song.

MargotLovedTom · 01/04/2015 12:13

Wink even!

SoleSource · 01/04/2015 14:16

She comes across as constantly smug. I'm sure she made some unkind comments of single Mothers. Now she too is a single Mother.

Nora, how did you do that christmas emoticon today?

I think she did Google herself. Not Snow White after all. I didn't think she was anyway, she went down in my opinion when she cheated with the builder, then acted like a victim when it all went wrong.

Salmotrutta · 01/04/2015 14:38

I have no idea who she is but I'm tutting because of the spelling of the surname and am prepared to dislike her on that basis.

It should be either McLean or MacLean.

McClean is some awful bastardised version (I.e. misspelled) which has been noted down wrongly sometime in the past.

Mind you - I am not a genealogy expert but I have never come across a Scottish MacCLean...

Salmotrutta · 01/04/2015 14:41

AND just in case anyone thinks otherwise it should be pronounced "Mac-Layne"

MargotLovedTom · 01/04/2015 16:05

It is actually McLean Smile.

LineRunner · 01/04/2015 16:38

In 2011 she launched Diamonique by Andrea McLean at QVC.

Smokeyrobinson · 01/04/2015 17:35

Smug, boring, irritating, self-important and talentless. I'm not very keen on her!!!!

beautifulbuzzards · 01/04/2015 19:03

I'm glad for the resurrection. Mnetters you are on top form. Better than first set at any comedy club.Wine

LineRunner · 01/04/2015 19:34

Bellend Resurrection.

That could be Part 2 of her stunningly crap autobiography.

NorahBone · 01/04/2015 19:34

The same way as the other emoticons Ottilia but with an f inserted [ fsmile]
I wanted to feel like I was contributing even though I don't know who Andrea McLean is.Easter Confused
