I’ve only seen her before now in interviews!

She’s always come across as such a professional and an all round top person!

She reminds me of a female Brian Blessed!

I haven’t yet watched GOT (sorry) so never had the privilege of watching her in what 90% of the population has seen her in!

LOVED her tonight hosting Eurovision!

Love how she handled that san marino bloke. Classy AF

crikeycrumbsblimey · 14/05/2023 09:57

I’m just so relieved we had someone good presenting and not one of the many embarrassments we usually trot out.

I loved her “we don’t boo in this house”

Going against the grain here. I think shes loud, shouty, scary and rude.

You're scared of her?

Hannah Waddingham is my girl crush, she’s just amazing.

Freezylap · 14/05/2023 10:00

She has incredible stage presence. She made the other presenters look like the co-hosts to her leading role even though they all had equal billing in theory. I think we’re going to be seeing a lot more of her now.

nomoretoriesforme · 14/05/2023 10:05

I love her too. She is amazing.

TheMoth · 14/05/2023 10:15

I'd never heard of her. Have watched GOT and sex Ed though. Think she had a kind of Lauren Bacall look. As an older, tall, not skinny woman, it's nice to see other women like me on the telly.

TheMoth · 14/05/2023 10:16

And Mel G was utterly shit. Everyone and everything was 'lovely'. I want some acidity on my commentary.

EddieHoweisMYmanager · 14/05/2023 10:23

Her power dressing in Ted Lasso makes me 😍😍 she dresses so well, think it makes such a difference to see a well built statuesque woman doing her thing unapologetically.

Brightredtulips · 14/05/2023 10:26

She has great stage presence much better than Graham Norton. Shame...

TheFireflies · 14/05/2023 10:29

She is just fabulous. I can’t believe they didn’t have her sing though!

TheMoth · 14/05/2023 10:29

I think Norton is better at smaller events. Besides, if she's a stage actress, she'll know how to use them space.

Willmafrockfit · 14/05/2023 10:44

i bet Graham Norton prefers being hidden away as usual, with his wine

anyway, am contemplating getting Apple TV so i can watch Ted Lasso

Theos · 14/05/2023 10:45

Oh God, she pissed me right off, all that gurning and her neck and all she was just so annoying

Hesma · 14/05/2023 10:45

Totally agree - never seen GOT or TL but thought she was an amazing presence and very professional

Cheesymonster · 14/05/2023 10:48

I’ve only seen her in Ted Lasso but she’s a national treasure and I want to be mates with her.

Hesma · 14/05/2023 10:48

@bellac11 she was the one in pin, the yellow on was the Ukrainian lady

PaigeMatthews · 14/05/2023 10:50

we love Ted Lasso.

The pulling faces is a bit overdone.

This is what was annoying me.
She seems a lovely woman and has been in some great programs but the face pulling was really off putting, cheesy. She doesn't need to do it she's great without

This.

She's a revelation

Me too though Alesha Dixon totally blew me away!

Summerbobs · 14/05/2023 10:55

Never heard of her before or seen her in anything?!

Mel was just there for the Polish Milk Maid skit.

Her neck? You had a problem with her neck?! So bizarre.

Wasntmeanttobelikethis · 14/05/2023 11:20

A perfect replacement for the simpering Holly on TM.
She reminded me of a Greek goddess; put everyone else in the shade.
As an aside: why did Mel talk whilst the songs where being recapped as a reminder to the viewers at the finale?
