To think that Lesley Garrett

Is the most irritating woman in the known universe and that she would be advised to move away from a kitchen with sharp knives and walk in freezers because the temptation might be too much for some people?

TheAntiBoop · 01/09/2017 22:40

How can you tell she is genuinely nice? She's clearly acting a role out. As a lot of celebs do. Never trust a professional actor!!!

MsHarry · 01/09/2017 22:41

She's not an actor, she's an opera singer. Did you not notice?

Backingvocals · 01/09/2017 22:41

She's actually trending on Twitter and all the posts are "am I the only one who finds her intensely annoying?"

Answer - no it's virtually universal. Feel a bit sorry for her. She is really irritating. Sad

MsHarry · 01/09/2017 22:41

I'm going off to have a good think about Alexis Conran.......Blush

ShatnersBassoon · 01/09/2017 22:41

Is she a singer? I wonder why she doesn't sing all the bloody time.

TheAntiBoop · 01/09/2017 22:42

Well yes it was pretty bloody obvious! But you need acting skills for that and opera singers are known for having a 'public' face!!

I do find the eager Puppies as annoying though

LastGirlOnTheLeft · 01/09/2017 22:43

I don't mind Lesley. It is the pretentious Nick Mo-RAN that gives me the quakes!! Back here in NI where the name originated we say MO-ran...but this dickhead obviously felt he was too posh for the whole Irish schtick...

I also thought the whole 'I want to be a chef rather than a cook' craptastic spiel at the start had more than a touch of misogyny about it!!😡😡 So yes, hope he loses!

Mrskeats · 01/09/2017 22:43

She's beyond annoying
Love Barney though

Costacoffeeplease · 01/09/2017 22:44

Lesley Garrett is one of the most irritating people on tv - can not bear her or the cut price version Jane McDonald. Professional 'I'm mad me' eejits

Garlicansapphire · 01/09/2017 22:48

YANBU.

My DD and i were just cringing. And then 'shut uppp!!!'

KurriKurri · 01/09/2017 22:49

I couldn't stand her before this - because she never shuts her mouth - she's always talking or singing (or catching flies as we say in our house)
But I've warmed to her a bit more on this - despite the warbling (shut up Lesley FFS we know you are an opera-shrieker), her cooking looks quite pleasant, sensible and edible.

The same can't be said for Mr 'pretentious moi' Moran - what a twat. He should be made to eat a whole trough of pickled bladder wrack.

mctat · 01/09/2017 22:50

'she looks no better than most 50 year old women'

How dare she Hmm

SilverySurfer · 01/09/2017 22:51

Imagine being stuck in a lift with her, and Jane McDonald. Both are so irritating and would probably have a 'voice off.'

Ugh this reminds me of AGES ago when I got stuck in the lift in a department store for about 15 minutes with the Beverley Sisters who proceeded to give an impromptu concert, singing all their latest songs. I didn't like them before but even less after Grin

I don't know what it is about Lesley Garrett but I have to switch channels if she is on for even five seconds. I think she's so up herself that I can't understand why the top of her head hasn't blown off. I've no idea who the two blokes are and yes, Ulrika is looking older but I still think she is attractive.

Fekko · 01/09/2017 22:53

Their latest songs? Was this during the blitz?

Shockers · 01/09/2017 22:56

My (sort of) claim to fame is that my son, aged 8, was in a season of panto with Barney. They had to 'fly' above a London skyline, on wires, singing Flying without wings... or I believe I can fly... something to do with flying anyway.

Guess the panto.

GinAndToast · 01/09/2017 22:58

Why did you watch her? 😂😂😂

I already know a program with her in would make me want to eat my own arm, so I don't watch 😏

FreeSpiritJen · 01/09/2017 22:58

@MsHarry

As for saying Ulrika looks old, she is nearly 50. I think she looks fantastic!

Sarah Greene is 58! I think she looks great. There were some awful comments about her on twitter and now some on here too. Are we not allowed to age? Honestly, women are their own worst enemy!

I haven't said anything like that. I haven't said anything negative about either woman.

Ulrika AND Sarah are attractive and look ok, but neither of them look any younger than their age. Almost everyone looks their age. It's not a bad or negative thing to look your age, and it's not an insult to say someone does. I'm not sure why people think it is.

A while back, a woman I met in a shop where DH was getting a new battery in his watch, asked me to guess how old she was. I thought forty-five to forty-eight, but to be polite, I said early to mid 40's. She looked really miffed, as she stated she was 41.

Confused

So I actually said she looked the age she was! Confused Seems she was expecting me to say 30 or something! No. She was in her 40's and she looked it.

As I said, I can't understand why people thinking someone looks their age is so insulting. Almost everyone looks their age.

Why wouldn't they? Confused

Weebo · 01/09/2017 23:00

DS and I love her. Blush

We hate Nick ever since he almost whacked Ulrika in the face with the Master Chef swinging door. Angry

LesleyGarrettsingsdontyouknow · 01/09/2017 23:06

NC so I could post this copy & paste of my FB status the other night;
I've only had it on five minutes, just noticed it was Lesley "I'm a singer y'know" Garrett (I cannae stick her) and remarked to [DH Name] that she hadn't started singing yet. About ten seconds after I said that she bloody started singing to the food.

LesleyGarrettsingsdontyouknow · 01/09/2017 23:08

I didn't watch it tonight, in fact I didn't know until the other night that she was on it, but oh how she proved me correct.

SilverySurfer · 01/09/2017 23:13

Their latest songs? Was this during the blitz?

I'm old but fortunately not that old - I missed the blitz by being born a whisker after WWII ended. No, actually it was in the 1960's :P

If you don't know what :P is, it's me poking my tongue out at you for being cheeky to intimate that I am in my 90's Grin

TheGreaterGoodTheGreaterGood · 01/09/2017 23:55

Lesley's bloody warbling is deeply annoying.

I was rooting for Nick Moran purely for his portrayal of Scabior in Deathly Hallows Grin

To think that Lesley Garrett

"Their latest songs? Was this during the blitz?"

Proper lolz 😂😂

I don't mind old Les. Ulrika has always annoyed me though.

user1498240695 · 02/09/2017 00:34

She's a twat. yanbu. Ulrika on the other hand appears very capable but anxious. Team UJ all the way.

Fekko · 02/09/2017 07:37

She is bloody good live. I remember her as
Susanna and bloody hell, she can fill an opera house with that voice. I'd find it irritating in the kitchen though.
