Vanessa Felz

[coolmule]

She's on This Morning, with Philip and Holly doing a AIBU, must have got the idea from mumsnet. I always think she talks a lot of sense, think she'd make a better host than Holly. Anyone agree?

I love her as a presenter but I can imagine she's a bit of a cow IRL. Holly grinds my gears.

I really like both of them. I love the partnership between Holly and Phil though and I don't think that VF would have the same.

As an aside I like Holly I'm sort of glad she's doing the jungle, apart from the fact that personally I was hoping they'd dig out Cat Deeley for it...

For a moment I thought we were on Digital Spy, this thread is typical of that place.
Really, because we’re discussing TV presenters?

If I had my way Emma Willis would present everything.

Cat Deeley for the jungle would have been good but I think she's contracted to the American dance thingy and she has a 3 month old and a toddler so may not have been keen.

@Sparklingbrook yes I know, I just hoped... chums reunion

I think Holly suits her celeb jungle and juicy bits shows.
I don't think she's a serious presenter, more bit of eye candy.

vanessa otoh is a seasoned pro, intelligent, and knows what she's doing, just no contest really.

Holly is a vacuous nonentity, but perfectly suitable as Phil's fluffy sidekick on TM.

I am a big fan of Vanessa Feltz. Her intelligence and verbosity puts other presenters to shame. Don't think presenting a TV magazine show would be a right fit for her. I miss her 10am slot on Radio London.

Vanessa, sure try anyone but Holly.

I am pleased to see that I am not alone in my dislike of the latter

Does she still claim to be a size 12 when she is an 16 if not more!!!??

I know who I would want to fight my corner given a choice of VF or HW.

I could listen to Vanessa talk about anything all day long, she has a vocabulary I admire. Not a huge fan of Holy but I think she presents this morning with Phil quite well, they compliment each other.

what I cannot bear though is the entire itv family thing as someone else mentioned above, Why do they give Phil nearly every gameshow to present - mr & mrs, gold rings and the cube not to mention dancing on ice - there are so many other presenters out there who would love a chance why just stick to him? There starting to do the same with Stephen mulhern now too.

I have a bit of a soft spot for Phil going back to his Joseph days. I think he is a safe pair of hands as far as presenting goes, you feel like he has it all under control.

I don't watch those gameshows but know what you mean about him getting everything.

Interesting diversion into a mumsnet parking thread too, enjoying that! No-one interesting has ever caused me a parking issue (or I them) :-D

To add to the parking drama jimmy corkhill once parked across my drive too and refused to move to go into the chippy at the top of the road, when he returned he screamed at my dad who was waiting to get out "see I told you I wouldn't be long", gave him a scowl and left

I would love VF to park on my drive I would ask if she wanted a .

I like Vanessa very much and would like to see her on TV more.

That's typical Jimmy Corkhill that is

i am not a huge fan of hers tbh but I do think she should have the Radio2 mid morning bit, she is a far superior broadcaster than that tosser JezzaVain, much much more articulate, she gets to the point, asks plenty of relevant questions, doesn't take any shite from the guests or callers and is extremely and genuinely compassionate when the situation requires

no fake daily mail tones, and "isn't this soooo saaaaaaaaaaad, people???" voices from Vanessa...Jeremy, take note! ... you self serving obsequious FAKER!

@2Brieornot2Brie

She actually said “Do you know who I am?”

My line manager at work had a similar experience with the lovely lady.

I can't stand her.

I'm pleased someone else said about Holly being hard to take serious when she has her other gig on celebrity juice and then appears on This Morning all goody two shoes and saccharine sweet.
I feel as though the two roles don't go together. You are either one or the other - decide which image you are going for and leave it at that.
Personally I'd love to see someone different present I'm a celeb she's just so overexposed.
Im also a Vanessa fan

I do like her, listen to her early mornings on BBC2, she is a qualified psychiatrist.

she is a qualified psychiatrist.

@Beaverhausen Who are you referring to?

Leave holly alone, I like Venessa feltz as it happens but Phil without holly is like Mac without cheese.

Yanbu, I love it when she sits in for Jeremy Vine.

Bring back Richard and Judy that’s what I say
