Clare Balding is irritating AIBU?

[Vera87]

Clare Balding can we have one sporting event without this woman. Wimbledon we ended up with her and now the bloody Winter Olympics have her. Next thing is she will be presenting Match of the Day. She pretends she knows literally everything annoyingly about tennis and now about skiing. Bore off. BBC can’t get anymore talent.
This woman came from horse racing commentating now she’s bloody everywhere not just sports. Highly irritating

Ken Barlow is Gary barlows dad 😆 🤣 😂

I find her quite boring and wheeled out as a safe pair of hands. Like a female Terry Wogan. I'm sure she's nice, and good fun. But is there no one else who can do her job, and did she get there through nepotism? Her family are racing royalty.

Her children's books are quite niche, and about people like her- bought up with ponies and wealth. Likeable characters, but so far from.our normal life! She can't help that though.

I like her but would like more variety

She wrote her first book 'My animals and other family' years and years ago. It's brilliant. She has genuine talent and intelligence

Exactly she’s safe and from memory hasn’t committed any criminal offence, been involved in bribery or anything dodgy
but fuck she is boring

Oh yes I’m gonna have to go searching

Yes Angus Dayton any day!!

If you find it post the link please. 😆 🤣

Once someone's on the payroll the Beeb have to get their money's worth.

Do you think they've got her lined up for Strictly?!! Her and Sandi Toksvig!

I love her - she knows a lot of stuff and is a great interviewer. She also seems like a decent person - leave her alone!

Jessica Simpson is homer Simpsons love child 😆 🤣 😂.

This. I really like her and easy to listen to.
So YABU.

lionel Blair and Tony

She ruined Wimbledon. I loathe her.

god she’s in right now - droning on in the background

one of the women had to correct her earlier because she was mis representing what happens to Lindsey Vonn

Ohhhh lionels brothers name is mabawsa...how can I forget that 🤣🤣🤣

I missed that!

Say it out loud ... mabawsa Ritchie 🤷🏼‍♀️😂🤣

I do find her annoying at the tennis but she's great for the Olympics

Thank you for this thread, this is something I always thought but couldn’t say.

The best threads for me are

dressing gown of doom
and
how many times a day men think about Roman Empire - just brilliant - one poster said she asked her partner and was astounded he said few times a day and commented that he gave this whole speal about how he thought he had the physique would be a good gladiator whilst currently sitting in the chair eating a Cornetto 🤣🤣🤣

Yanbu if you don’t enjoy watching her.
I don’t mind her, find her knowledge on the sports she presents.
I did think she sounds ill just now though, like she had a proper cold

She has - wish she’d go home to bed

Well she is a damn site better than Gary liniker so as long as he’s not on I don’t care!

I feel I went to school with at least 10 Clare Baldings, so I have a soft spot for her.

I simply can’t stand her hair though. It’s like Princess Di in 1985, and that was dated then.
