Original poster

To be jealous of holly willoughby

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??????

What? Keith Lemon isn't real? Grin I think everyone knows that and I am sure Leigh Francis's children will be v proud when they get to see CJ for the first time!

Two of my best friends did, that's how I know

HW can come across a bit pathetic on TM with PS so if this is an act and she's actually hiding a huge intellect then I feel insulted!

Bluntness100 · 29/01/2018 08:55

She's simply doing her job, she's a presenter of light entertainment shows and hugely popular with it, she's not pretending to be Kate adie. That is not her role.

It's fine to not like her presenting style but to accept she's successful at what she does and well liked . That's not a personal insult. Saying she's "thick" "vacuous" "eyes to close together" or whatever other personal insult isn't ok,

And for the poster who says they want to see her without make up and in normal clothes (why and what is normal clothes?) then there are plenty of pics of her without make up on the beach with her kids and she's naturally very pretty.

I quite like it when Alison Hammond presents, I always imagine she's the same all the time. Plus she would be great down the pub. Grin

@rubies
I can also confirm she was an awful bully at school.

MagicWillHappen · 29/01/2018 13:10

This thread is making me chuckle.

Yanbu op. I think there's an awful lot of jealousy on this thread too. She outwardly seems to have it all though...husband, kids, beautiful, nation's sweetheart, career, bags of cash...so you can see why. I can't help cringe at a lot of these posts though - 'I'm totally not jealous but she's not even that pretty' type posts. Gosh Confused

VerrucaUpdate · 29/01/2018 13:13

God I can’t abide her.

The simpering, giggling, oh me and boobs what these little things? Does my head in

harshbuttrue1980 · 29/01/2018 13:26

Its easy for celebrities, royals etc to seem like good mums as well as being unruffled and stunning looking all the time, as they can hand their kids over to the nannies when they've had enough. If holly/Kate/Kim etc were nurses trying to work at nights so they can tag team the childcare, they'd be frazzled and plain looking in no time at all. I think good mums spend time with their kids and don't palm them off onto nannies all the time.

Want2bSupermum · 29/01/2018 14:07

If she is intelligent she must be a genius because she does a brilliant job of hiding it.

She has made connections with the right people starting with marrying well. Good for her.

springtulip · 29/01/2018 16:34

Strange how some people think celebs should be above criticism, are we only supposed to gush over them and say how wonderful they are. Confused I dislike many celebs, men and women, and no, i'm not jealous of any of them. They just happen to annoy me.

derxa · 29/01/2018 17:09

He's a quiet family man called Leigh Francis who very rarely interviews out of character/is seen out of character. But he uses his characters to be extremely nasty. I applaud Craig David for rebuilding his career after it was almost destroyed by Leigh Francis.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 29/01/2018 17:13

Good on him if that's what gets hIm some privacy.

I'm sorry, but. They sacrifice privacy when they go decide to become a TV personality.
If they don't like the attention, and being noticed. Theyre probably in the wrong job.

Hemlock2013 · 29/01/2018 17:18

I went to college with her and she was really beautiful... better than she looks on tv. Very natural.

It’s sad that we all judge her so much. I’ve no idea how clever or nice she is. But I don’t enjoy watching her on this morning. So I don’t watch her!

springtulip · 29/01/2018 18:25

If they don't like the attention, and being noticed. Theyre probably in the wrong job.
Exactly, there's a lot of perks being a celebrity, mainly financial. They often earn more in a week than the rest of us make in 2 or 3 years. Unfortunately that comes with a price....the lack of privacy, the public take an interest in them. In fact most celebs would be horrified if we didn't take a interest in them. They often crave attention.

springtulip · 29/01/2018 18:30

Well,it's hardly sad hemlock she gets a lot of adoration too, surely if she's doing a live presenting show (and all the other stuff) she's going to expect criticism too. Everyone in the public eye knows that not everyone will love them....and why should they.

bobstersmum · 29/01/2018 18:54

I don't mind Holly, although with Phillip they annoy me, always giggling about stupid immature things it's ridiculous! And she's so skinny now she's hardly Holly Willobooby now is she? She also does have a big gob and a wonky eye I think? (I am not miss perfect so should probably shut up)
But on the whole she looks nice. With probably a lot of expert expensive skincare and makeup and the best clothes, couldn't we all look nice with that?

Emilybrontescorsett · 29/01/2018 19:05

I like Alison Hammond too.

Kaykee · 29/01/2018 19:50

Why would you be jealous of a person like HW?....you don’t know her, or what her life is like behind closed doors just what she has and things and money don’t necessarily make you happy. She’s attractive yes, but there is more to life than a pretty face.

I don’t waste time worrying, or being jealous or what other people have or don’t have, what’s the point. If you want that kind of life then that’s your choice I guess nothing wrong with it, but being jealous will get you nowhere. Not really into celeb worshipping or worrying about what they do outside work or even in work.

ShowerGel9 · 29/01/2018 21:18

What did Leigh francis do to nearly ruin Craig David's career? I can vaguelyhear him saying something like 'Craigge David!" But i don't know why...

Want2bSupermum · 30/01/2018 00:42

shower He took the piss out of Craig David to the nth degree. He took it so far that it affected Craig David's confidence and he didn't release any music for years.

It wasn't funny and it wasn't cool. Leigh francis is at best a parasite. He doesn't have the talent alone to be funny. I never understood why he was allowed to continue with his Craig David impersonation. It was so painful to watch knowing just how much it hurt Craig David.

"Oh I apply similar views to slagging off Jamie Oliver at al . Unless you personally know him"

He brought it on himself when he denigrated poorer people to sell a cookbook to middle class ppl back in 2013.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 30/01/2018 03:03

What Craig David. Let that idiot break his confidence. KL is not fit enough to polish
CDs shoes.

stopfuckingshoutingatme · 30/01/2018 05:57

That’s actually really sad about CD

He did the same to Mel B but it never fased her . Nails she is !!

derxa · 30/01/2018 10:08

Yes she is! Grin
