A team were hoping to obtain money in order to make 'lookalike' dolls. They had brought two examples with them: lookalikes of the two women on the panel and gave them to them.

The men didn't have any 'lookalike' made and weren't given any doll.

Are dolls only for females then: every little girl prefers a doll to a toy truck?

No wonder little boys who like playing with dolls and dressing up as Disney princesses experience such dreadful comments sometimes.

YANBU. I thought exactly the same

TBH I was too busy ranting about Kelly Hoppen's rudeness to the poor jewellery designer. Did anyone else think she was a bit... abrupt?

On the doll front though YANBU. I did like dolls as a child, but Barbie did get an Action Man makeover. DB was most upset when he couldn't find Action Man's desert combats...

Yes, I did think she was unnecessarily unpleasant

Ha ha, yes, but Kelly Hoppen didn't look too impressed by her doll, did she?. I like teddies/puppets/dolls to just look like themselves personally.
