I love her. I don't even know why really... Maybe it's the fact she's the same age as me and I feel about 100 years old in comparison so she gives me hope! What's not to like? She's cheery and happy and seems nice to everyone. Nothing wrong with her :)

NickNacks · 22/11/2015 20:52

I don't like her but can't put my finger on it. Love Olly though.

They're probably definitely shagging each other.

ssd · 22/11/2015 20:53

I dont think theres anything wrong with her, I just cant get her popularity at all

She's very average as a presenter.

Her dress sense is phenomenally bad. Everything she wears is hideous and fits really badly!

ExitStageLeft · 22/11/2015 20:55

Loved her on strictly, and I like her on X factor, I can imagine going down the pub with her.

Fairylea · 22/11/2015 20:58

I think people like the fact she has some fashion disasters and has had a few break ups / love life dramas. I think people like her because she seems "normal", relatable.

ForalltheSaints · 22/11/2015 21:00

As a man, I don't get it either. Perhaps her preference for younger men or her time on Strictly?

There again, I don't watch the X Factor as I prefer real music.

pinotblush · 22/11/2015 21:02

Maybe because she looks normal and acts/dresses that way? I like her. She's far more real than most. It's cheryl fernandes garcini that gets my goat. Talentless.

itsmeohlord · 22/11/2015 21:04

Dermot O'Leary was wise to get out of the XFactor presenting. The writing is on the wall - the show is dreadful, Olly Murs and Flack are both awful and the lollipop on legs that is Cheryl Cole is even worse.

Let' s hope it is axed.

AgentProvocateur · 22/11/2015 21:04

I'm sure she's a nice person, but she's the world's shittiest presenter. She can't walk and talk at the same time. I stopped watching X factor because she was so apalling.

She's totally meh
And she dated Harry styles despite being in her 30s when he was a teenager which I find fucking creepy

SaucyJack · 22/11/2015 21:09

I think Fairylea is on to something with her first comment.

I do sometimes look at her in one of my all-too-frequent bitchy moments and think "Mutton", but actually I do respect that she dresses and acts however the fuck she likes.

cleoteacher · 22/11/2015 21:10

She's not a great presenter and she's ok. I think it's because she's a breath of fresh air from the normal women presenters on TV. She looks more normal, she's not so polished and stick thin, she makes mistakes and has a bit of a laugh rather than pouting into the camera and looking all polished and perfect like the other women presenters. She is relatable.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 22/11/2015 21:11

I think Olly could do it better alone. Apart from his big mistake he is better.

cleoteacher · 22/11/2015 21:12

Oh and the fact that she makes fashion mistakes and doesn't look good in anything and has curves makes her even more normal.

Sparklingbrook · 22/11/2015 21:14

She won Strictly last year and she had a brief dalliance with Harry Hairstyles from 1D is the extent of my knowledge.

noclueses · 22/11/2015 21:16

she has a great laugh, and is sexy. And personally I like her for dating Harry, a confident minxy woman but imo with a good heart!

theliverpoolone · 22/11/2015 21:25

she's not so polished You can say that again! I think she's a dreadful presenter. I've no idea how she started out, but if she was put up against others in a proper audition there's no way she'd get a presenting job.

specialsubject · 22/11/2015 21:26

do I need to know who this person is?

pinotblush · 22/11/2015 21:28

why does she have to be "polished" shes real, shes normal.

I can't stand Ant and Dec. Couple of fools that are "fed" stupid jokes that are staged and really very unfunny. Would you call them "polished"?

Sparklingbrook · 22/11/2015 21:29

Here you go special. But if you don't watch reality TV you'll be none the wiser.

whats the deal with Caroline Flack?
WorraLiberty · 22/11/2015 21:31

She seems ok and works well with Olly.

Ludoole · 22/11/2015 21:35

Shes my girl crush. I think she's lovely. She was definitely better presenting xtra factor than x factor but that wasnt so structured.
I love the connection she has with Olly Smile
