To think that Annabel Karmel is Sue Johnston?

I keep seeing an advert on here featuring Annabel Karmel. I doubt it's aimed only at me as I never cook anything.

Every time I see it I think it's the actress Sue Johnston.

YANBU: Yes, I can see that

YABU: What are you on about it looks nowt like her

It's like Annabel Karmel has asked her surgeon to make her look more like Sue Johnston.

PAFMO · 20/11/2021 07:09

I think when people keep having plastic surgery they all end up looking alike. I can see Nicole Kidman in there as well.

PatsyJStone · 20/11/2021 07:10

Ah... don’t get the Carol Vorderman comparison but I thought it was Shelley Long (Cheers). Now this has been posted I know who it is!

Surely she looks more like Shelley than Sue?

I thought it was carol vorderman too! As an aside though, anyone watched the Cockfields? It’s bloody wonderful - sue johnston is like my actual mum, it’s uncanny. Anyway watch it, it’s brilliant

I think she’s actually flat chested and they are chicken fillets . No one has tits that high!
Especially at her age.

It'll be all that liver she reckons Daddy loved. He hid it up her jumper.

I tried a whole book of AK recipes and my DD liked none of them. To be fair DD is (still, at 15 ) unbelievably fussy and didn't like 99% of stuff I made when she was a baby, so I can't hold AK entirely responsible.

And yes I've seen the ad but I'm thinking more Carol Vorderman.

CallMeMabel · 20/11/2021 09:21

I also think she looks like Sue Johnston! I just feel bad saying it because Sue is brilliant and AK is a dick.

PeterPomegranate · 20/11/2021 09:22

Definitely thought Carol Vorderman. They look so similar and I’m sure they didn’t use to.

ToooSensitive · 20/11/2021 09:42

The ad popped up on this thread and yes, saw Sue Johnson straight away.

Fond memories of hours in the kitchen peeling, boiling, blending, spooning into ice cube trays, only for most of it to end up in the bin.

Courgette, pea and potato souper was a rare hit though.

WayneBruce · 20/11/2021 10:10

I thought it was a knakered Amanda Holden.

This is why I came :)

Shelley Long turns up as deranged ex wife DeeDee on Modern Family.

She looks like Karmel's ghost from Christmas yet to come.

Grin I love this, I thought she had had an inordinate amount of surgery in the millisecond glimpse I saw the other day.

I bought one of her toddler books for dd1 (now nearly 16), discovered she had a cmp allergy and most of the "recipes" were no good as lots of butter, milk and cheese.

queenMab99 · 20/11/2021 13:53

I can see the Sue Johnston in her, I think it is the high cheekbones.

JunoMcDuff · 20/11/2021 14:59

@SoniaFouler

I don’t know if I’ve seen the advert but I just googled both of them and don’t think they look alike. But there’s a video advert I see on here and every time I see it I think it’s Carol Vorderman
Same!
TulipsGarden · 20/11/2021 15:03

I keep seeing that video and thinking it's Carol Vorderman too. The first time I wondered why she was advertising cooking something, until I looked closer. There is definitely a hint of Amanda Holden too, that sort of oddly-ageless-but-definitely-had-quite-a-lot-done look.

RonSwansonsChair · 20/11/2021 15:07

I see Carol Vorderman too 😁

Wafflesnsniffles · 20/11/2021 15:08

Anabel Karmel looks nothing like Sue Johnston!

She does look a bit like Amanda Holden though

kwiksavenofrillsusername · 20/11/2021 15:14

I didn’t know who she was, but the fact she was cooking with her long hair down annoyed me. That salmon and sweet potato cat food looking dish is going to end up with stray hairs.

loveablequalities · 20/11/2021 15:22

I see Sue in that photo. Like a sort of Jane Asher-esque Sue?

GreenLunchBox · 20/11/2021 15:24

I had to Google Sue Johnstone but she looks nothing like her so
YABU

Somanysocks · 20/11/2021 15:33

She looks like Jane from Neighbours to me.

ColinTheKoala · 20/11/2021 16:13

@Somanysocks

She looks like Jane from Neighbours to me.
Yes I think this is a closer comparison than Sue J or Carol V.
TheYearOfSmallThings · 20/11/2021 16:16

YANBU. She looks like the secret lovechild of Sue Johnson and Carol Vordeman.
