Personally Iāve nothing against Rochelle but she is simply not main presenter material. Sheās fine in the fashion segments where sheās reliant on cue cards to convey simple information and itās all very regimented. Itās introduce model, run through items, thank model, next model repeat! Sheās fine if itās heavily scripted and predictable.
Live TV? Sheās awful. She cannot read the autocue and stumbles over her words. Itās uncomfortable as a viewer watching an amateur who should be better than she is by now. Sheās trying to hide her mistakes by acting ditzy but it comes over as fake and desperate to be like Holly.
Also, for a show like this morning, you need to have empathy and listening skills. When doing emotive subjects, you can see her looking at the script for the next question to ask. Sheās too afraid to go off script to listen to the guests and ask questions off their answers. Interviews are therefore stilted as a result.
Plus, her social media doesnāt exactly project the image she wants to portray on This Morning. Like the call in on those poor women who are worried about debt. You could see she had no interest/awareness in it and as a viewer when you see on socials her kids dressed head to toe in designer and her shopping for Ā£5 juice in Harrods- it just adds to this fake presenter persona.
