Jamie’s Easy Christmas - WTF is with all the ‘kissing’ and chortling?!

[EnjoythemoneyJane]

I really like Jamie’s recipes and his Christmas specials, but am I alone in finding him borderline unwatchable in this new series?

I can usually just about cope with the cheeky chappie routine, but Christ on a bike, if he ‘kisses’ anything else with olive oil or lemon juice or chopped herbs I might have to break something.

And when the hell did he start ramping up all the chortling and guffawing like a lunatic at everything in faux delight? Every time he looks at a pile of fucking parsnips we get 5 seconds of gleeful “ooh hooo hoo ha ha ha ho ho ho”.

I accept I’m a mardy old bag, but I was hoping for a nice relaxing Christmassy watch while I do some cooking and it’s making me really tense 😂.

I like his recipes and have some of his books, he cooks the sort of food I like to eat. But yes, I find his delivery so OTT it gets really annoying, when he coins a phrase he murders, like 'kissing', and everything is always 'sooo gooood', practically having an orgasm over a mouthful of food. And can't stand the music. Haven't watched the new series. Pls calm down a bit Jamie. Guess I'm a bit mardy too, LOL.

Yes - murdering it is exactly right!

It’s got to the point where I’m braced waiting for him to say it again - it’s literally every five minutes. I guess you get a bit too rich and powerful and suddenly nobody on set has the balls to point out this kind of stuff …
