    Claudia is a deeply irritating individual who seems to have built her “character” by acting the goon. I was going to watch Traitors but never switched on due to her hosting it. We have watched Strictly for years and would fast forward any point at which she was in it. Tess Daly faced a very difficult task stepping into Bruce’s shoes and whilst Claudia may have helped her to me she was a host we didn’t need forcing Tess to look uncomfortable at having to laugh along, laughs which were most of the time false laughs.

    The more I know the less I understand.

    but what purpose does Gamble serve ?

    He pays the rent, keeps the mice at bay and is educating Francesa to develop her vocabulary to gamble speak.

    I quite like Claudia but as to ‘serving any purpose’ I would say the same about Ant & Dec.. :wacko:
    What purpose do they serve standing around in the jungle watching fellow celebs make fools of themselves and take on some odious tasks, whilst not having to do the tasks themselves.

    I never watch them and my one wish is that the pair of them volunteer themselves into the Jungle to eat bush tucker and all the other disgusting tasks they gleefully watch others do whilst giggling like schoolboys.
    Perhaps then the TV Audience could judge them on their efforts and vote accordingly.

    I feel the presenters of this particular programme should have personal experience of being a contestant not just get paid for observing.

    So will it happen..I very much doubt it 🤪🫣Jac

    Ant & Dec can join the list, Jac.

    So that’s Claudia, Graham Norton and Ant & Dec. All effing pointless.

    You’ve forgotten the biggest and best example , Michael McIntyre , that’s a man who’s stolen a career , I’ve never , not once laughed at anything he has ever said or done …ever

    Davina McCall is another irritating one. This clip from The Impressions Show sums Claudia and Davina…

    Chat shows are deceptively difficult. I remember Nigella Lawson doing a short lived one. I,too, don’t like Claudia Winkleman I’m afraid and can’t understand why she was on Crufts this year. And I’ve never understood the appeal of Traitors. Then again how can I talk when I quite like Big Brother and have watched Made in Chelsea for years. It’s always been bad but is now beyond awful but I can’t stop watching it. Can’t stand Michael MacIntire (don’t know if I’ve spelt his name right but can’t be bothered to check)either. Ant and Dec are good at what they do and gel really well…look at how awful one of them was when having to work without the other. I don’t watch any Saturday night tv programmes though although it seems that they’re good tv for families with young’ish children that want to watch tv together. Claudia did late night film review years ago when Barry Norman retired and I thought her very insincere and I suppose I’ve judged her on that ever since.

    Agree with McIntyre parading as a comedian and would like to add the gob that is Alison Hammond.

    The more I know the less I understand.

    Hammond biggest fan is herself , I’ve dealt with loads of celebs through my job of 27 years ,

    Michael Palin , exactly as he is on tv and his diaries , a lovely man who took the time to chat with me , the gay policeman will forever be a fav sketch of mine

    Paul Daniels , thought he might be up himself , he was actually very funny and again took the time to chat with staff

    Gerard Butler , I’ve dealt with Gerry for over 15 years and he is a really nice guy , he loves acting and treats it like a game ( I’m away to Italy to play he told me once )

    Fran Healey , proper bloke and again down to earth

    Clare Grogan , sigh …. She was lovely … and sexy

    Julia Roberts , that was a strange day , she was nice enough and even flashed the smile

    Melinda Messenger , small … but lovely , I’ve got a selfie with her somewhere

    2 worst idiots I’ve dealt with were Vernon Kaye ( was when he was on Channel 4 , he smashed a glass coke bottle on my office wall to open it and then passed it to me to get rid of …
    But the worst Philippa Forrester , dear God she was the devil , demanding and even gave me the ” do you know who I am ” , thankfully she seems to have disappeared off tv

    I really like Marcus Wareing but when he was head chef at Claridges for Gordon Ramsey he pulled up to the staff parking area and was refused access, he said to the guard do you know who I am and got the response, no.

    Yes..Michael Mcintyre good shout there. :good: Saw a cringeworthy so called spoof where he ‘broke into’ Gino De Campo’s house and woke him up in bed in the so called middle of the night.. ÂżWHY? :unsure: (you can add Gino to the list too) …

    Alison Hammond ✔️
    and along with Dimwit O’Leary ✔️
    another pointless presenter
    Stephen Mulhern✔️
    Presenter of Deal or No Deal the worst game show on the box. (No brain required just lift a lid :wacko: )

    The list is Growing…🤪

    I’ve loved Alison Hammond ever since she was on Big Brother. The only person from that show to make it to the big time on tv if you ignore the builder guy who is sometimes on house repair type programmes. My partner used to meet various celebrities at his companies conferences and he said the nicest one by far was Tony Robinson.
