She looks good, has a great career with plenty of holidays, from the face of it has a fantastic husband and marriage. And most importantly she comes across like she is a fantastic mother. So patient and calm. Im jealous but admire her too in equal measures. AIBU??????

Lol at Fawning what about Lorraine she tells everyone she thinks their fantastic

BatFaceGal · 28/01/2018 23:07

Ah! Not only hard of reading but hard of thinking too.

I'm out. You can't argue with stupid Smile

ameli · 28/01/2018 23:09

Will look forward to This Morning tomorrow lol

Onlyoldontheoutside · 28/01/2018 23:10

I think she is a bit stiff and plastic on TV.Would like to see her without makeup and in ordinary clothes.
No idea about her personality as she is very controlled n her reactions,even I expect when she's crying.

ameli · 28/01/2018 23:11

She doesn’t bother me in the slightest ...

petbear · 28/01/2018 23:14

She is gorgeous, but no, I am not jealous of her. I am quite happy with myself/my family/my career. I don't strive to be someone else.

Sallystyle · 28/01/2018 23:15

I'm hard of thinking because I disagree that my dislike of her comes from jealousy? Ok.

springtulip · 28/01/2018 23:16

People who have good looks can often find it hard to come to terms with when the looks go. The thing is, she might appear to have it all but she won't. Nobody gets it all. So no i don't envy her, because nothing lasts forever, and it's what's inside that counts. You might be more beautiful than her OP.

ameli · 28/01/2018 23:17

lol well said

ameli · 28/01/2018 23:21

Ladies can I ask a question ....

ameli · 28/01/2018 23:22

It’s not about Holly ..

Emilybrontescorsett · 28/01/2018 23:25

I don't watch Lorraine, she doesn't interest me.
I don't choose to watch Holly either, she just happens to be on iyswim.
I'm not a fan of daytime tv.

I also think Philip Schofield seemed to be on tv too much at one point and I went off him.

I do like Tess Daley and liked Cat Deely when she was presenting.

Sparklingbrook · 28/01/2018 23:27

I love Cat Deeley. Don't really understand what Lorraine's programme is for. Sort of tagged onto the end of GMB. Bit strange.

Biglettuce · 28/01/2018 23:29

I don’t think we know if she’s a great mother, or has a great marriage. Personally I’d rather someone with more personality on daytime tv but I’m not the one employing her.

I think it’s hard work always being pretty and I’d hate that as I think you need to relax sometimes, and let other parts of yourself shine through.

Emilybrontescorsett · 28/01/2018 23:31

Another programme I don't like and always turn off if it comes on is the one show. I must don't see the point.
Think I'm expecting more hard news at that time of day.

StopTheRoundabout · 28/01/2018 23:33

She's not my cup of tea. Too much makeup and comes across as being very fake.

ameli · 28/01/2018 23:35

How do I change my username ladies . Sorry off topic

A thread filled with jealous women pulling apart another woman's looks

Think there has been a lot of criticism about her DH's looks as well.

RitasEducation · 29/01/2018 00:30

I've always suspected she was on Mumsnet, As the famous threads have shown that a few celebrities are.

If so this thread is mean, listing her faults.

Holly if you are on MN I think you are Fabulous.

halfwitpicker · 29/01/2018 01:19

It's all social media really

springtulip · 29/01/2018 01:50

Yesterday 23:43 Crunched

A thread filled with jealous women pulling apart another woman's looks No it really isn't. There are many beautiful famous women who never get criticised on here. It's absolutely nothing to do with jealousy. Philip Scofield gets equally criticised.

All that glitters is not gold, truthfully

YABU. Not read the replies, so don't know if I'm alone in this.
Why be jealous of her? She's she.You're you. Make the most of you.
I'm a mum, with a fantastic (I hope as don't want to jinx lol) marriage of going on for 20 years.
Looking good is up to the individual. To me, looks aren't everything. I've put on weight.
Kids can do your head in.I bet Holly Willoughby screeches and wishes they'd shut the fuck up sometimes lol Grin

DreamyMcDreamy · 29/01/2018 02:10

Yes I can. Without blowing my own trumpet I would say I am attractive but my personality is pretty shit.

OK, didn't read the subsequent comments before but reading a few now.At the risk of not sounding too psychologist like - why? Why do you think your personality is shit?
Be comfortable with who you are and don't fixate on others.

DreamyMcDreamy · 29/01/2018 02:25

All celebrities must be admired and loved, obviously

Even Keith Lemmon?

I'm sorry if I even have to point it out,as I did to a relative recently (after laughing loudly) * HE ISN'T REAL!! He's a quiet family man called Leigh Francis who very rarely interviews out of character/is seen out of character.
Good on him,if that's what gets him a little bit of privacy.
