Who rates her as a commentator? I think she is a bit OTT at times, knows her eggs when it comes to the horses.

Her face is a bit big for my telly and there is a passing resemblence to Gordon Ramsay.
No idea what she is on about to be perfectly honest.

she is incredibly horsey (poshish and looks like a farmers wife(- she could hold her own at tug of war arm wrestling fighting in pub) but that is about it

Are both not mutually exclusive?

Alright in pints then: 25pint induced coma and a stomach pump and I definitely would 😆

shes abhorrent. cant stand the fat elitist inbred prat.

Fatty Balding on snowboarding at the 2006 winter Olympics: "this isnt a sport is it? they dont take it seriously, wheres the competition?"

she's recently been diagnosed with cancer of the thyroid....I think it was that, and from memory it's re-occurred and got worse. Sounds like she is in need of a good dose of luck and positive vibes.......
I like her on the odd occasions I've listened to her on R4 Rambles.

In fairness to her...in a world where females are under increasing pressure to be gorgeous, slim and all the other superficial shite, I say fair play to her for making it. She's forgotten more about horses than any of us will ever know and I've heard she's quite nice on a personal level.

QFT

A good friend of mine, who's an audio engineer, work with her regularly on the horse racing and has nothing but praise for her. She rates her as one of the nicest people in telly and she's worked with a few.

I worked with her a few times for 5live and she is a good laugh especially compared to some of the idiots on TV and Radio!
