Did you ever watch her eating the orange with a crumbled oxo cube on top? Makes me want to vomit just thinking about it...

A National Treasure according to the news on R4 just now.

One must assume that she's unlikely to end up in the Saville thread, but you can't rely on anything these days.

True but she is reputed to have been blooming awful to work with and disappeared from ITV as soon as a former junior assistant who had had the misfortune to work with her got into a position of power and exerted revenge....

I remember having to play "Anyone who had a heart" at a school concert. It was in some weird time signature that I couldn't get at all.

Horrible song.

Thought she was terrific on Blind Date. Probably the best choice of presenter they could have made. Best was when she gently took the mick out of those contestants who were a bit too full of themselves, especially the blokes, but without being nasty. Calling them Chuck etc.

Then of course there was the time she nuked from orbit an undercover journolist from Cosmopolitan:
