Has Joe definitely left? I was hoping Sara was just for this celeb version and he'd be back for the show proper.

I knew Antony was going to be a little snipe on this one, I've heard all the rumours about him before.

I've just watched this on catch up.

I really disliked Sara Pascoe as the presenter. Very wooden and not at all "warm". Maybe she'll get better.

Not surprised at the winner (although I would have given it to Kate because her reindeer was amazing). Loved Kiell's box costume too - that made me laugh.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 28/12/2021 10:24

I'd have given Kate the prize, too.

Anthony's "fabulous" dress had an absolutely terrible uneven neckline, and the ribbon on the bow was far to long - it would have trailed, got trodden on etc.

I liked Anneka;s jumpsuit - the work in that was much more than "stitch up the sides and stick a bow on".

SoupDragon · 28/12/2021 10:33

She really upped her game with the jumpsuit.

Does anyone know when part 2 is on?

Toddlerteaplease · 28/12/2021 16:02

I always thought Kate Bottley doesn't come across as a particularly devout person. Particularly for a vicar. I saw the pilgrimage program and Also found her attitude odd.

I would guess New Year's Eve or Day.

I think I’ll need a few episodes to get air to Sara as host. It didn’t quite gel for me tonight and was about flat.

Thats the first time I’ve seen the Corrie guy and he did not come across well. Competitive (esp commends after transformation challenge) and just obnoxious regarding his bow and skill. Was quite sad he won. His dress didn’t even look well finished and the bow was a mess. Not surprised to hear the comments pp have made about him.

Kate is on everything I’m not a fan but she’s harmless I suppose. She just seems fixated on being a persona (quirky vicar all down with the cool kids) whereas she comes across as vit a bit of a full. Her reindeer was brilliant though and her m2m was really good. She should have won or anneka.

Kiell was great. Seemed nice decent block (and yea very similar to his Ghost character strangely!) Loved his box idea and his Mrs Claus dress. I’m so impressed if he’s beecr sewed before. I wouldn’t have a clue how to start!

Anneka is cringe but I loved her jumpsuit. It looked really well made too not sure why she struggles with the angel concept though.

Roll on the NY special now. Hoping Sara relaxes into her presenting. Wonder when the new series will be on - any ideas?

Yes, Thursday (tomorrow) at 9pm.
SoupDragon · 29/12/2021 09:02

I loved Kiell's box because it was very much "fuck it... I can't sew, I'm just using the box" You have to admire that I think!

Thursday (tomorrow) at 9pm.

Excellent! Hopefully I'll get to watch it live this time.

Loved his box idea and his Mrs Claus dress.

So did I - but I expected that when Patrick had asked what Santa Claus' wife was called, he would say "Sandra". Grin

AnInspectorBores · 30/12/2021 17:36

According to my TV guide, Patrick is wearing a kilt tonight. Just saying Grin

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 30/12/2021 18:01

Praise be. 🙏🏼

SoupDragon · 30/12/2021 21:07

Sarah Pascoe is still dreadful 😕

woodhill · 30/12/2021 21:09

Yes indeed, bring back Joe

Toddlerteaplease · 30/12/2021 21:10

Who are these people? Haven't heard of a single one!

Haggisfish3 · 30/12/2021 21:10

She really is not great in this! Like all the Celebs tonight so far.

SoupDragon · 30/12/2021 21:11

I've heard of them all bar the drag queen. I wouldn't say I know them well though.

Haggisfish3 · 30/12/2021 21:12

Kirsty wark-really famous news presenter type and journalist! Claire orchards was in steps. Haven’t heard of the other two.

He IS wearing a kilt!

I am watching him wear a kilt!

SchadenfreudePersonified · 30/12/2021 21:13

I would love purple wig like that.

SoupDragon · 30/12/2021 21:13

The comedian was in a BBC series I think ... Starstruck? Might have been BBC2 or 3

SoupDragon · 30/12/2021 21:13

I love the sausage dog fabric.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 30/12/2021 21:14

So do I Soup.

It's the best one

Halsall · 30/12/2021 21:14

I'm fascinated by that fire behind them. I'm far from convinced that it's an actual fire
