Just that really. OK so I know I will get told to focus on my own life and that I'm jealous etc I do actually like watching Holly on TV but I can't help hut think she constantly lands on her feet, I know no-one knows what goes on behind closed doors but she is genuinely happy, I don't think you could fake that everyday! She's super rich, seems to have a nice husband and family life, no money struggles wondering how she is going to pay a bill, always getting new job roles, I don't understand how every area in her life can be so perfect. Over the years I have watched this morning whilst going through phases of being so poor and now a marriage breakup, so I understand you will think its my own issues why I feel like this but I'm just wondering how people go through life getting good things thrown at them and some have shit. Yes she works hard hut don't we all she just got lucky yo be working on TV which not everyone has the chance to do to warn millions

I read Mylene Klass' pregnancy book. It was awful and so patronising.

Gawd, yes. I've detested the woman ever since.

It certainly changed the way I viewed her Grin

Ingridla · 12/01/2020 13:09

She's very conventionally attractive and is good as banal small talk.

She married a ITV telly producer. Job done.

Ignore it all and concentrate on real people you have stuff in common with x

JamieVardysHavingAParty · 12/01/2020 13:19

It became clear that she needed to read a lot more books about pregnancy herself.

Amazing how this has become a HW bashing thread, picking fault and tearing another women apart. I admit I am envious of her clothes and stylist and job, but not to the point I would insult her husband or her personality just because she is nice and normal she is considered boring. No matter what we have we always want more and better, we need to start appreciating what we have.

beautifulstranger101 · 12/01/2020 14:53

Eh, I think HW is perfectly nice. I just personally find her rather bland/uninteresting is all. Thats not bashing her- I dont have to think every single woman on tv is interesting or brilliant because they aren't. Just like I dont like every single man on tv nowadays.

emilybrontescorsett · 12/01/2020 15:01

Christ without being rude she is dim. She has no talent other than her body and looks.
I don't watch anything with her in. When I did watch her, she was incapable of asking anything remotely interesting or testing.
I'm not envious of her, I don't know anything about her kids or life and I don't want to know.

Yea it's really bitchy mean girl stuff. Concentrate on yourself. She's not to my taste but no need to get personal

You are being rude though, very rude. And nasty.

FreakStar · 12/01/2020 19:45

Well, if Holly Wiloughby is dim, then I'd rather be dim and in her position, supposedly bright but bitter and nasty like some on this thread!

emilybrontescorsett · 12/01/2020 19:48

Well it's the only way I can describe her.
She never says anything that requires intelligence and I admire intelligence in people.
There are lots of other ' celebs' who don't come across as very intelligent but this thread is about being envious of HW.
I'm not envious, is that a crime?

Sundancer77 · 12/01/2020 20:26

I don’t imagine she’s dim tbh, to get where she has 🤔

zoobincan · 12/01/2020 21:10

Well it's the only way I can describe her.

No, it's really not.

Lexplorer · 12/01/2020 21:20

Bet Victoria Beckham can't believe what she's reading, MN has found another successful woman with 'no talent' to slag off.

lazylinguist · 12/01/2020 21:31

And yes it would be nice if she was more relatable and went on this morning and said my husband was a selfish prick last night and my child woke at 4 am

Oh come off it, OP. She is playing a persona. That's the whole point! People want to see pretty, shiny, smiling people on their screens. You surely can't be daft enough to fall for the whole Hello magazine-style 'celeb's perfect lifestyle with gorgeous hubby' claptrap? You are feeling jealous of a made-up, manufactured thing.
