To think that Lorraine is a terrible interviewer

I have just had the misfortune to watch Lorraine interviewing Rod Stewart and it was just cringy. Constant interrupting and interjecting, gushing like mad, gurny crazed looking expression.

Is she always like this and if so aibu to wonder how on earth she became famous when she is embarrassing to watch?

@Macandcheese05 when jade came out of the big brother house and was being accused of being racist to another housemate called shilpa shetty she was doing interviews trying to defend herself and explain what happened. I remember Lorraine being nasty to her. It was AGES ago now.

She always seems to go with whatever the popular opinion is at the time, too - if someone is out of favour with the public, she'll stick the boot in. If someone is well liked, she'll fawn over them. I'm not a particular fan of the Beckhams, but they were getting stick for something in the papers: Lorraine talks about it on her show and has a go at them - I remember thinking, I bet you wouldn't say that to their faces. Also, if one of her 'celeb' guests like Katie Price had done what the Beckhams did, she'd be saying 'oh that's a great idea, you're so clever for thinking of it'.

I thought some saint would come on and tell you off for 'slating slebs' but it seems like it's unanimous, LK is a woeful presenter who should have been replaced years ago. She is so sickeningly obsequious and self important!

But someone must enjoy watching her as surely she would have been sacked Confused

Macandcheese05 · 26/04/2019 11:22

thanks for explaining :). i never saw that (i dont watch lorraine)

Isn’t she married to the producer or director of her programme? I think that’s probably how she’s managed to stay where she is.

Perfect description Grin

Roussette · 26/04/2019 11:31

She married a cameraman decades ago, perhaps he's been promoted!

BossAssBitch · 26/04/2019 11:32

Just googled to see who she is married to and came across an interview she gave to the Guardian where she said

"I cringe when I’m called a national treasure"

Me too Grin

Aprillygirl · 26/04/2019 11:54

She's an insipid,arse licking bore and and I really don't know how she has a job in television. Fucking or blackmailing one of the producers maybe? Wouldn't surprise me because there's something about her that makes me think she's a real nasty piece of work behind that perfect persona of hers.

CurcubitaPepo · 26/04/2019 11:59

The only time I’ve seen her was when a few years ago she co presented some of the BBC’s coverage of the Chelsea flower show.

She was fucking inane.

KnifeAngel · 26/04/2019 12:03

She is so annoying. She interrupts constantly and her lips go up at one side. She is very false and loves everyone. Dan Wootton her expert makes me want to throw things at the telly.

Andrea McLean is another one I can't stand. She cheated on her first husband I can't tolerate people who have affairs.

Holly is another annoying air head. She has no talent and her interviewing skills are dire. She does a silly girly giggle like a teenager.

ITV need to get some talented presenters.

Bring back Fern Brittain or Christine Bleakly.

ukgift2016 · 26/04/2019 12:05

I cannot stand her.

TidyDancer · 26/04/2019 12:07

I have never come across anyone who likes her. She's a terrible presenter and by all accounts a fairly vile person. In the ranks of Cilla Black for how she's regarded and how she treats people.

Agree with whoever said she knows where the bodies are buried. Something is keeping her in her job and it ain't talent or personality.

ssd · 26/04/2019 12:07

She's uttery inane right enough, the girly giggle, the pretending to like the cheap shit fashion, the in jokes with Ross King, him of the overdyed hair and tango face.. Jesus wept

ssd · 26/04/2019 12:08

Christine Bleakley is miles better

Popcorntwice · 26/04/2019 12:10

I agree with all the comments about her. I didn't see the Jade interview but I can't blame her for being offhand with Jade, as Jade was absolutely vile to Shilpa in the BB house. I wouldn't have wanted to interview Jade either!

missyB1 · 26/04/2019 12:13

She is an airhead along with that awful
Holly W. Mind you Phillip Scholfield is just as bad! Talentless twats all of them!
I would love to see Fern Britton do Lorraine’s show and have her spot back on This morning, she’s worth a million of those bimbos.

ssd · 26/04/2019 12:19

Lorraine seems to appeal to gay guys who love dressing up middle aged women in shit stuff they wouldn't be caught dead in..
I wonder if that's her target audience? I'm middle aged, come from the same place as she does and she makes my toes curl.

swimmerforlife · 26/04/2019 12:28

Oh my lord Dan Wootten can fuck right back off New Zealand I say that as a kiwi he has written some truly awful stuff, and yet Lorraine still sucks up to him.

Carblover · 26/04/2019 12:28

And i thought i was the only one who couldnt see what a terrible presenter she was
Fake phoney and no discernible talent
Dont get me started on the Wayfair adaGrin

MarkleSparkle · 26/04/2019 12:31

Oh god I’d forgotten the man who does the fashion. He is atrocious!

EmeraldShamrock · 26/04/2019 12:33

It is a long time since I watched gmtv.
I think she was better years ago. She is a nice person easy to chat with if your not an A Lister
I can't stand Fiona Philip's interviewing, she gives me the rage.

EntirelyAnonymised · 26/04/2019 12:34

Oh god, the fashion bloke. ITV’s morning offerings are truly dire.

DontFundHate · 26/04/2019 12:35

Wow, I like her! I saw that interview this morning and thought rod was so rude to her throughout and she managed to ignore that and carry on

TidyDancer · 26/04/2019 12:37

Tbf Rod Stewart is also a bit of a twat. But Lorraine is worse.
