Loose Women, Regarding Linda Bellingham.

[trt]

Her husband was on today, and quite emotional about how many people have sent messages, and her book selling over 200,000.

Why does Gloria Hunniford always have to bring her daughter up who died of cancer into the conversation.
Her daughter was lovely and unfortunately young when she died, but the talk was about Linda and her husband.

You could see Ruth Holmes face saying, not again Gloria before she stepped in and went back to Linda's husband.

However, it may be more appropriate if Ms. Hunniford had said beforehand that she didn't wish to discuss her own bereavement, which is private, and would provide an inappropriate distraction from the discussion on the day.


There was no distraction at all, what Gloria said added to the conversation. I think Michael Pattemore found her question on how to deal with Christmas helpful.


Where is trt?
I would have thought he would be back to convince us Ruth Holmes face said , "not again Gloria"

Honestly what a load of pompous judgemental twaddle.
They're on a program specifically to talk about bereavement and grief. It'd be a bit odd if the people present didn't mention their own experiences of it.

ludwig - "It'd be a bit odd if the people present didn't mention their own experiences of it."

Actually, it would be a lot odd if Gloria Hunniford appeared on a progamme and DIDN'T mention her experiences - that won't be any time soon!

Despite you saying you turn off when she's on, andy ...you must watch her like a hawk.

Talbot - "Despite you saying you turn off when she's on, andy ...you must watch her like a hawk."

I honestly don't.

For me, things that irk me crop up when I am reminded of them - then i can go off into a series of rants that can last a couple of days, then I forget all about them again.

I am sent into rant mode, on average, maybe once a fortnight, and then I am off like a bottle of pop for the duration of the time it takes me to post, and then i forget again.

i am monumentally calm 99% of the time - not anything like this -

Well she did to me, and I bet anyone that the next time G/H is on TV and a discussion comes up about somebody thats died, she will bring up her daughter!

She has been doing it for years.

[-Talbot-]

Well she did to me,


Then you have a vivid imagination.

.....now now children.......

"Talbot - "Did you watch it?"

No, I don't watch Loose Women, and had I been watching, and Gloria Hunniford had appeared, i would have turned over - it is rare for her to appear anywhere on TV without shoe-horning her career raison d'etre into her conversation at the earliest opportunity.

The woman has no dignity."

Well, I have watched it now, and I was absolutely right.

As soon as she opened her mouth, Gloria Hunniford was there, talking about her daughter dying, and she carried on, monopolising the conversation - how Cliff Richard (she even manages to name-drop!) told her about Christmas and what to do. She spoke up four times, always about her and her loss, never mentioned how Linda's husband must be feeling, or asking him how he is - just finishing off (the last word as usual!) with some sugary homily about dead being on the lips of the living.

So, all my previous posts were based on what Gloria Hunniford is like - point a camera at her, and she'll spout like a geyser, as though no-one else has ever lost anyone except her.

Now, this post is written having watched the clip.

I retract nothing of what I have said, she is as predictable as taxes, and for me, about as welcome.

[-Talbot-]

and I was absolutely right.


Not imo. I'm not sure how or why you can loathe someone so much, someone you don't know. But that's your problem not mine.

[andy-hughes]

Talbot - "Not imo. I'm not sure how or why you can loathe someone so much, someone you don't know."

I don't loathe her, I don't know her - I simply loathe the way she behaves on television and comes over like the last word in bereavement issues.

"But that's your problem not mine."

It's not a problem, promise.

[xstitcher]

As my great aunt would say.....fight you devils fight, I hate peace. I'm out of here. It's getting silly.

[murraymints]

I watched this on catch up and found Gloria Hunniford was quite intrusive ad interrupted the conversation too often.. I agree she manipulated the conversation and dominated it too much with her twopence when it was supposed to be Mr Spain's opportunity to thank folk and to talk of Linda's passing ..not Caron Keating....

Busted!

I must retract my second comment, I was obviously getting a bit giddy on that day.

I genuinley don't loathe Gloria Hunniford, I just find her behaviour on television to be self-centered.

[andy-hughes]

She is STILL at it - the woman has no shame!
