I apologise for dragging this thread back from 2023, but this woman irritates me so much that I need somewhere to vent.
Firstly, I had no idea who she was until she appeared on I'm a Celebrity. My immediate impression was that she came across as incredibly rude and argumentative. Now, before anyone jumps on me, I completely agree that Matt Hancock was hardly a sympathetic character, but there were times when she seemed more interested in shutting people down than having a discussion.
What frustrates me most is that whenever someone disagrees with her, she immediately becomes louder and more forceful. It often feels less like a debate and more like, "I'm right, you're wrong, end of discussion." I find it exhausting to watch.
Which brings me to Loose Women. If she's on, I usually switch off. I genuinely find her difficult to listen to because she rarely seems interested in hearing an alternative point of view.
What really baffles me, though, is how she ended up hosting The Talking Royals podcast. Her views on the Royal Family seem fairly obvious to me. She often comes across as sceptical or critical of them, whereas her attitude towards Harry and Meghan feels noticeably warmer. That's entirely her right, of course, but it does make me question whether she's the best fit for a royal discussion programme.
And don't even get me started on the way she reacts whenever Harry and Meghan's children are mentioned. Half the time she seems determined to shut the conversation down before anyone has even finished their sentence. It's as though she's personally responsible for protecting them from public discussion.
It takes quite a lot for a television personality to irritate me, but for some reason she manages it every single time.
