Tonight’s edition - she’s wearing a magnificent cream/ ivory shirt. Does anyone know where it’s from?

She's a very strange woman, isn't she?

I noticed the Hislop thing as well. It was a bit awkward.

Yes, I thought 'Erk!' but then I recognised it as a meno thing - where you think you're going in for something with a lightness of touch and it deserts you, and you say something that lands with a thunk... 🤦‍♀️ Then a few minutes later she said 'It's perimenopause!' and I thought 'I have you, Madam!' But at least I don't do mine on national television, I felt for her.

But after a few dull weeks of HIGNFY I thought she really warmed it up and brought a vibrant energy to it. John Tothill seemed a bit quiet to start and she subtly brought him out by responding positively to what he did say, and then he contributed more.

And yes, that top was gorgeous - I couldn't wear it in a million years, but it looked amazing on her. 😙👌

Fashion really is subjective, that looks dreadful to me.

I said the same. Although I also photographed the television (just not for the same reason!)

I’m not a blouse person, but that’s beautiful.

Imagine trying to iron it.

Inside out, and a very cool one!

I think probably dry clean only

Well she did say he looked like he’d been dug up which was a bit unnecessary and rude…

Glad I’m not the only one.

See my post above! Twice ruined their shirts and I’m an excellent laundress and ironer. The quality is often far poorer than the design.

You’re right! Gone off it. Band tee, docs and baggy jeans it is then . I’ll think about growing up and being sophisticated another time!

I agree Gribouille she brought some energy back after a few lacklustre shows.
However I spent most of the episode wondering who the MP was who suggested a threesome to Laura Kuenssberg?!

Edited

I thought it was Matt Hancock because they played a clip of him after making the threesome comment but I could be wrong?

I think you could be right PerdreLeBleu

The shirt is on ebay here size 6 ending this afternoon.
I had my £20 offer autorejected fyi.
Happy shopping all!

Boro fan of course she’s brilliant.

Very true. Did you watch last game?

I agree - they did that Daily Hate thing of juxtaposing the two items...

Like MH couldn't turn my stomach even more... 🤮

Steph and Helen Lewis had a click though, didn't they? 😄

That shirt must be a bugger to launder, though.

Really cold to wear in November too for those of us not under studio lights.

11plusherewego · Today 11:55

I look at so many of their blouses then notice they are polyester which puts me off (and makes them poorer value in my view).

HRTtoHeart · Today 09:08

On the Next site it says "machine wash" and its 100% polyester
So a cool wash and hang up one ?

Could you get away without ironing it or would all those applique circles need ironing ?

Loved the blouse, but it would look ridiculous on me. Plus, I’ve bought from mint Velvet in the past and been disappointed with the feel and fit (they were prompt and courteous re exchange though, no complaints at all).

Does anyone know if there’s any animus between her and Ian Hislop? They just seemed to be on edge with each other.

I didn’t pick that up at all…

Any time she is on they bicker like that, have done for years. I don't know if it's real or put on.
Although Paul Merton jumped in last night to defend IH which is unusual, he seemed genuinely annoyed at Steph McGovern.
