Love Hannah Waddingham!

[HannahLove]

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!

I thought she was fantastic hosting last night. I googled her straight after as I didn’t know her.

I can’t believe she managed to get a crowd of that size to stop booing.

She had a lot of presence but she laughed a lot as well and seemed really unaffected and natural.

Probably AIBU to use so many exclamation marks 🙄

Honestly is it so difficult to post this in Chat?

I love her too and imagine she’d be so much fun on a night out!

'Loud shouty scary and rude'? The first 2 you need to be for that venue, but scary and rude? She's hardly jeremy Clarkson

I’m glad most of us are in agreement and sharing in the Hannah love this morning.

I thought Aleisha and Julia did well too, they could have easily been out-staged by Hannah but I thought they worked well together.

@Scalottia point taken and duly noted❗️

Definitely always the shining star which is Tonya from Benidorm. It's extremely funny and very vulgar. Generally not my cup of tea but it is so well written, well cast and beautifully performed I can only applaud it. Didnt watch Evision but she will have excelled.

Yea I liked her in that.

I thought at one time the Dykes might be new regulars as the Garvey's left mid season 7 was it?
Her little husband with the large mouth when it came to "Tonya, Tonya,,,,, TONYA" is always a good act and been in lots of comedies over time.
Alas we got that other family, whose name escapes Me. .

Yes - I've loved her since she opened in Spamalot as the Lady of the Lake - I still listen to her rendition of Whatever Happened to my Part - it's a fabulous piece of MT

Here she is!

I was disappointed that she didn't get to sing though.

No need to drag someone else down.

They always talk over it - each country gets told the conditions in their own language presumably. We can't do the text vote or the app vote.

Yes! They should have let her sing!

Maybe we should ask her to be our entry next year 😂 at least can sing/perform live!

I saw her many years ago in a West End musical - she has a great voice.

Yes! That ending to the Diva's lament is something else! Great vocal range too - her mother was an opera singer.

It was The Beautiful Game I saw her in. Not very well remembered ALW show.

HW was Thermo Woman sidekick in My Hero.

Giving an opinion; not dragging anyone down

If anyone still reading this thread, recommend Tom Jones which is a TV series on ITVX, not the Welsh singer. It's a Georgian romp, nice dresses, romance, witty script, well cast and Hannah plays wicked Lady something.

Oh I meant to add...

She sang in an episode of Benidorm. The plot was that her Son (Tiger) and his mate (Michael) had been ripped off on a bet by bar tender (Mateo). Anyway she sang terribly at the table in Mateo's earshot, so her husband, (Clive) bet Mateo she would get many applause.
Of course He took up the bet not knowing she could definitely, actually sing.
It was an Abba song she belted out . Might have been The Winner takes it All.
