what does she dooooooo ?

I just find her so nauseatingly smug and arrogant.

Why do TV bosses keep giving her programmes?

Why is she ALWAYS in the effing newspapers?

I bet if TV bosses did a poll of the entire country most people would say they don't like her...

AIBU?

" good looking? " - is that in a freak show voyeur kind of way?

LouMacca · 03/02/2010 16:43

I agree, I can't stand her.

Who are earth is watching that new programme she is doing? It's advertised on the TV every 5 mins and she had a double page spread about it in one of the papers last week! Talk about ITV scrapping the barrel!

my friend went to college with her and she has allegedly climbed some very greasy poles to get where she is today

A friend who is in the round of BGT that is currently filming says that Amanda is absolutely HORRID in person and treats the production team and the contestants with utter disdain.

(Friend also says that Simon Cowell is much shorter and plumper in the flesh and has man boobs. And Ant and Dec are nice but TINY.)

Bitoffun I rushed onto this thread all ready to re-post my Seaside Donkey comment as it got such a good response last time but I see you have already done it for me .

GhoulsAreLoud · 03/02/2010 17:34

I really don't like her.

BUT that show where she was a midwife did make her seem human for a few moments at a time.

Conundrumish · 03/02/2010 17:47

She is vile. There was a thread on here a while back, after she was so cruel about Susan Boyle. The thread made google when you searched for her name

MrsDinky · 03/02/2010 17:53

I can't stand her, have never liked her and that Susan Boyle thing was cruel and nasty.

reikizen · 03/02/2010 17:55

It's like MN can read my mind...I made a similar comment to dp last night. But I do love the shagged her way to the middle comment. Talk about damning with faint praise.

I just read Les Dennis's autobiog (from the library, I didn't part with earn hard earned cash for it!) Oh, the shame of it as I delved right to the bit when he met 'Our Mand' and ignored the bit when he was famous with Dustin Gee... I actually felt really quite sorry for Les but the crux of the matter was, she was always going to spit him out for breakfast.

Bella32 · 03/02/2010 18:31

Ewwww

MrsC2010 · 03/02/2010 18:43

ewwwww what the hell happened to that lip???

But, yes Amanda, we all believe you. You have had no work done at all. Yes, I repeat, you have had no work done at all. None. Nada. Not a sausage

skybluewinking · 03/02/2010 19:41

This thread reminds me of a school. It started off as fairly unkind, and then accelerated into superbitchy.
I can just imagine you all looking at each others posts,and getting really excited as you scent blood.
Vile really

LadyBlaBlah · 03/02/2010 19:44

W.H.A.T.E.V.E.R

SixtyFootDoll · 03/02/2010 19:45

I dont have a problem with her
I liked her in that hairdressing program

I thought she came across really wwell in the midwife program

TheBolter · 03/02/2010 19:47

skyblue, agree yes it is bitchy but AH is vile.

BendyBob · 03/02/2010 19:56

I don't wonder about her any more than most other people on tv really.

The same argument applies to about 80% of tv slebs now. Why are they on tv? Gawd knows. They're mostly white noise.

But if she can make a living out of it, then good luck to her I s'pose.

pointydog · 03/02/2010 20:15

I like neither holden nor knightley so I don't watch them.

skybluewinking · 03/02/2010 21:56

Really trying for uberbitchy
yep, trying is indeed the word.

Flibbertyjibbet · 03/02/2010 22:04

I thought the Grimleys was fab and she was very good looking in that.

However if she's had 'nothing done' then how has she acquired her regulation-sleb-raised-eyebrows...

Think Kylie and Fiona Bruce....

She irritates the pants off me, I'd like to see her off BGT and in fact just off my tv altogether.
