AIBU?

To find Amanda Holden annoying!

youvegottobekidding · 26/10/2017 11:06

Well, more so her laugh. She's doing presenting duties on This Morning this week.

In fact i find her annoying in general too. I fail to see how she gets the work!

The whole idea that daytime television is for housewifes and pensioners and therefore idiots is so far past it's sell by date anyway.

It's quite a shock, when you're not used to being at home on weekdays, to glimpse snippets and see the pap they put out.

They will eventually lose their audience to on demand services if they don't up their game a bit.

LalaLeona · 28/10/2017 08:29

It was quite gobsmacking. There must be so many other women out there able to do a better job

PumpkinSquash · 27/10/2017 23:18

How he kept his jaw off the floor is beyond me

He was very tactful! Very professional, even though he looked a bit surprised at first he gave a very professional answer and they managed to pull it back.
Yeah, you can try and gloss over it This Morning but we saw lol

BlondeB83 · 27/10/2017 23:15

I realise hate is a bit harsh but she grates on me!

BlondeB83 · 27/10/2017 23:15

I hate her! And she’s also a bad actress! Seen her in two musicals and she was terrible in both!

specialsubject · 27/10/2017 23:15

At least Major Tim is a professional. It is 40 plus years since anyone walked on the moon. How he kept his jaw off the floor is beyond me.

ohfourfoxache · 27/10/2017 23:07

That clip was genuinely shocking Special

specialsubject · 27/10/2017 23:02

Just seen the clip on the last leg. A classic example of thinking it is feminine to be thick. Grossly unprofessional for someone paid to interview on TV. Not funny, just annoying.

She needs the sack.

Lethaldrizzle · 27/10/2017 11:20

Sun and moonshine - come on fess up - you are amanda holden aren't you?!

karmacoma1 · 27/10/2017 11:10

I've found her unlikeable since I read an interview with her when she was on BGT with Micheal McIntyre.

She made a sly dig at his weight saying something like "well when we're sat down Micheal buttons up his suit jacket so no one can see his fat tummy when he stands up"

Really? Why say something like that?

youvegottobekidding · 27/10/2017 09:07

StudentMum - I hardly started a thread by 'ripping' AH apart, I asked if I was being unreasonable to find her annoying, the majority, quite obviously, have answered no. Oh am I am not pathetic thank you.

Pregosaurus · 27/10/2017 08:59

YANBU. I can’t stand her - she’s on my list of most hated.

LalaLeona · 27/10/2017 08:56

Can't believe she has so many fans here. I was stunned watching her on this morning the other day. A relative was watching so had to. She is so unlikeable! How on earth did she get the job? Her face is completely immobile I thought she looked really creepy like a waxwork. Small children must cry when she talks to them! So very insincere too. I usually find something I like about people and am a very positive person but really can't see many redeeming features here.

charmedrose · 27/10/2017 08:27

No harm in having a moan about celebs, they're in the public eye, getting highly paid, people will have an opinion, good or bad. Or are we supposed to only talk about them in glowing terms.

StudentMumArghh · 27/10/2017 07:22

It's sad that some people feel the need to start a thread just to completely rip someone. Just because you don't like a person, doesn't mean you should publicly insult them. Would you go on to Amanda Holden's twitter and say such things? No because that would make you a pathetic troll. It's the same here.

Pathetic.

pilates · 27/10/2017 07:06

Exactly right Pumpkin.

PumpkinSquash · 27/10/2017 00:09

Yes and a thoroughly unpleasant individual who took the piss out of Susan Boyle having a moustache with Alan Carr on his chat show ....nice

That's awful if she did that
Watched the BGT with Susan in, she was lovely (Susan that is, not Amanda.)
Read her autobiography too, genuinely innocent seeming and nice.
Amanda was horrible to her there with her comment - "I know that everyone was against you..."
presumably just based on her looks as that's all she had to go on before she opened her mouth and sang.

CuppaTeaAndAJammieDodger · 26/10/2017 23:50

There will be plenty of viewers who would have been wondering why he missed the chance of getting off and having a stroll on the Moon.

You do realise that the ISS orbits the Earth at about 400km whereas the moon is nearly 400,000km from us - not really a missed chance, more of a physical impossibility! So yes, rather a silly question - although her tweet suggests she realises that.

I have no opinion on Amanda Holden - not quite sure why I’m on this thread really! As you were.

pilates · 26/10/2017 22:57

“Good point really. I doubt if Amanda will read any of this though, because she is a successful tv star, who does have a talent for singing and acting and dancing, and also presenting. She is a mother, and has a very successful career, and she certainly has better things to do than spend her life bitching about attractive, successful women on message forums. 😛“

So annoying and full of herself. Can hardly watch a programme if she’s in it.

PumpkinSquash · 26/10/2017 20:37

Sounds doubtful that she said it on purpose because they'd be some viewers out there wondering why he didn't come out for a wander on the moon when Amanda tweeted earlier "I'm a tt
Yes. Yes you are

Bit of autocorrect going on there.

"I can vaguely remember her acting in something on the TV many years ago,"

I loved her in Wild at heart, so did my DDs.

She's consistently had work, so she's doing something right before anyone suggests just how she looks, she's had roles in the Theatre, as well and got good reviews.

"It did irritate me when she milked the 'omg I nearly died I gave birth "
"Cheryl did a bit of that with her malaria too, crying to Piers Morgan that a doctor told her she was dying right in front of her."

They are asked about it and their stories are wanted to fill columns. It is upsetting to nearly die and know about it. AM holding, as we know, she had a miscarriage and lost her Son, Theo. Considering Jim Davidson and other wife smackers and done the self-pitying wail with PM, it's a strange thing to pick up on.

She said that she would have loved a bigger family and she might just be doing what she needs to do to stay working, partly as compensation.

There will be plenty of viewers who would have been wondering why he missed the chance of getting off and having a stroll on the Moon. Jeremy Kyle sometimes takes the piss out of Phillip Scofield who seems to think his viewers aren't the same as JK's and somehow a cut above.

sunandmoonshine · 26/10/2017 19:59

@JeReviens

if you all are so hot how come she's on telly and probably minted and you're bitching about her on a chat forum

Good point really. I doubt if Amanda will read any of this though, because she is a successful tv star, who does have a talent for singing and acting and dancing, and also presenting. She is a mother, and has a very successful career, and she certainly has better things to do than spend her life bitching about attractive, successful women on message forums. 😛

I also like Holly, and LOVE Rylan.

Sparklingbrook · 26/10/2017 19:56

Eamon and Ruth they said.

Oh good. I have loads of stuff to do so won't be tempted to tune in.
