Have been watching her on Jeremy Vine. She is very good. I’ve never really appreciated her before.

She's an incredible woman. She saved so many babies lives through her campaigning.

beeny · 13/08/2020 10:32

I agree she is excellent

LaureBerthaud · 13/08/2020 10:34

YANBU. I wish she'd take over from Philip Schofield on This Morning.

mrsnw · 13/08/2020 10:36

Yes, I was going to write she should present This Morning!!

She was talking to students about their A level results. She was genuinely sympathetic and gave some really good advice.

I always thought she was a bit simpering on breakfast tv back in the day, but she has definitely improved over time.

There's still hope for Lorraine.

Minai · 13/08/2020 10:48

I think she’s brilliant. I’d much rather have her on tv than Phil and Holly.

Chosennone · 13/08/2020 10:53

She's brilliant!

Jeremy Vine is a complete twat. So annoying

Teal99 · 13/08/2020 10:53

I was always a bit meh about her. She had a small run on Loose Women. She was ace on that. She's was too good for them, they dropped her. She wouldn't get a sniff of a This Morning role. Too old, too middle class, white.

Dennysheart · 13/08/2020 10:54

I really like her. I wonder if a lot of female presenters are moulded to be twittering alongside their male counterparts. When they’re older and given a bit more free rein they can show who they really are.

Hirewiredays · 13/08/2020 11:34

I love her!

1Morewineplease · 13/08/2020 11:39

She’s brilliant and genuine.

The80sweregreat · 13/08/2020 13:04

I like her as she seems very normal and down to earth. I remember when she lost her baby and how has made something positive out of such a horrible sad situation for her and her family :( i can't imagine how you would get over something like that.
She is candid and pleasant and very honest about her own weight problems too , in the past. (I'd like to think she is a mumsnetter! )

GreenPlum · 13/08/2020 13:06

I've always been a huge fan. She's fab!

lovelifehope · 13/08/2020 13:17

Yes she’s great. Streets ahead of Holly Willoughby.

MrsHuntGeneNotJeremyObviously · 13/08/2020 13:22

I think she's great too. I really don't understand how that vacuous fuckwit Jeremy Vine got the full time presenting job on channel 5, but she only gets to do stand in presenting.
She was amazing with her work on cot death and has genuinely helped so many families. She always comes across as kind and genuine.

EscapeTheCastle · 13/08/2020 14:00

Yes, I agree, she's terrific. Always liked her. Would rather watch her than Vine.

ballsdeep · 13/08/2020 14:03

She is fab. I think she has the right amount of empathy without being condescending and just has a generally lovely vibe about her. Like you could go to her for a cuppa

ballsdeep · 13/08/2020 14:04

@derxa

Jeremy Vine is a complete twat. So annoying
Omg yes!!!!!!!! I was watching him the other morning and thought what an insufferable bore
TweetUsOnFacebook · 13/08/2020 14:25

I like her too. She has a real warmth and depth about her and certainly knows her stuff about current affairs and talks eloquently. She has been through the worst a parent can experience and worked hard to prevent it happening to others.

I like Janet Ellis too.

I'll never forget what happened to her darling son and the awareness she has raised about SIDS. She us an incredible woman

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 13/08/2020 18:32

Another big fan here. She gets the tone absolutely spot on, whether it's a deeply serious or silly topic, and makes it look so extremely easy because of her skill, experience and professionalism. She works alongside Storm brilliantly as well.

KatieB55 · 13/08/2020 18:42

Agree - she tries to provide a balanced view
