Oh dear I had no idea who this was. I was half watching 8 Out of 10 Cats and thought it was Claudia Winkelman.

Sorry everyone. I'll get me coat.....

Lovecat · 17/02/2014 23:20

I've just had to turn on C4+1 to look at this... that is totally a wig! You can't see her scalp in the parting at all, which is a massive giveaway.

mmack · 17/02/2014 23:20

Porter is what older people in Ireland call Guinness so she already had an Irish name, she's an early morning pint.

We're the panel actually making fun of her hair then? Is that where al, the defensive tweets have come from?

WallyBantersJunkBox · 18/02/2014 00:01

Were.

Coumarin · 18/02/2014 00:17

O'come on, her DH saying he's glad he's not female and comments about sisterhood, if a man was sat there with hair as shiny as the sun in a massive square shape, everyone would still comment on it.

It's square! Square hair. I don't believe anyone saw that and didn't think wtf?

Alisvolatpropiis · 18/02/2014 00:18

I've been wondering about her hair for some time and hoping it wasn't just me being odd.

I do quite like her work.

Find her husband to be a bit of an uptight tosser though. Not that unusual for a male comedian.

Coumarin · 18/02/2014 00:21

I adore IT Crowd so want to love Chris O'D but... Hmm

WallyBantersJunkBox · 18/02/2014 00:35

I've looked at the tweets and half of them are from men ffs Hmm

I couldn't give a fuck about her hair, but she is utterly fucking pointless, an utter vacuum.

If Dawn Porter became a recluse and disappeared from our screens tomorrow, would the viewing public notice or care?

AmberLeaf · 18/02/2014 00:43

On 8/10 cats tonight, if that wasn't a wig, Im a unicorn.

That said, I bloody love Dawn Porter or O'Porter.

I read her book about dating/online dating a few years back. I could be friends with her, she sounds like fun and she likes cats, so IMO she is a good sort.

She is my girl crush.

WallyBantersJunkBox · 18/02/2014 00:44

Yes Compos we'd have a mass infestation of clagnuts and sore arses.

ComposHat · 18/02/2014 00:49

Oh yes, there is the Andrex wally I'd never wiped my arse at all til I saw those adverts. I used to rub it up and down the settee like a dog with worms.

WallyBantersJunkBox · 18/02/2014 00:53

He's removed the snakes with tits comment from his twitter posts. How interesting....especially as I counted the majority 12 bitchy posts from men after a quick scan.

Compos fess up, you drag yer arse across the hearth rug like the rest of us.

ComposHat · 18/02/2014 00:58

Ooh have you been spying on me Wally?

HandsOffMyGazBaz · 18/02/2014 01:03

I think that's pretty shitty actually, to say someone is pointless, is a vacuum. That suggests she is worthless, there is no point to her existence. How fucking horrible.

Its a fucking haircut.

GwendolineMaryLacey · 18/02/2014 02:01

I like her and the O makes me smile. Hair is a trifle bonkers but hey.

BOFtastic · 18/02/2014 02:30

I love her. Her hair tonight was a bit Playmobil, but it doesn't affect her basic Good Eggness. I actually feel rather repulsed by a few male comics' 'ironic' beardiness, and it stops me noticing if they are really funny or not. There's a bloke doing the panel show rounds at the moment who looks disconcertingly like Justin Lee Collins. I keep thinking "NOOOO, have a shave! Cut your hair! It's NOT a good association!"

StopSquabbling · 18/02/2014 02:42

Her hair is Lego crossed with Dora the Explorer.

I'm irritated by her O too. It's like deciding to become McClark.

It doesn't go.

fideline · 18/02/2014 02:57

Same thing happened with the fringe on her previous style.

Maybe water retention of the hair? Confused

EirikurNoromaour · 18/02/2014 06:41

Her hair is a bit much but I quite like her, apart from the utter knobbishness of changing her name to O'Porter. Did nobody in her life say 'er hang on love, that's a bit weird and knobbish'?

AmberLeaf · 18/02/2014 09:36

Is the 'O' thing any weirder than totally changing your surname when you marry?

natwebb79 · 18/02/2014 09:49

Just did a quick google to make sure she was the one I was thinking of. And I think if I was that fecking gorgeous I'd have my hair however I liked! Saucer of milk needed for some posters I think... Grin

WallyBantersJunkBox · 18/02/2014 09:51

It's just a bit try hard IMO. She didn't have to change it at all really.

Then to bitch about journalists not "getting it" on Twitter...bit childish for me.

natwebb79 · 18/02/2014 09:57

I'm sure she's cut to the core by people finding her annoying and thinking she's dull etc. She looks thoroughly miserable. This thread has reminded me why I prefer to socialise with men... Grin
