Since other have weighed in with their less than flattering perceptions of Ms V, I feel I can add mine in now.
My antipathy has less to do with her appearance - if she wants to dress and look like a Japanese sex robot, that's her business.
My attitude has always been formed by her complete absence of a sense of humour.
This was always painfully obvious when she worked with Richard Whiteley on Countdown, another one who was not even at the back of the queue, more out of the building, when senses of humour were being dished out.
Whitely was always a seriously nervous TV figure, which begs the question why he was, at one point, the most watched man on television - as part of the Yorkshire New team, and then on Countdown.
Because of his nerves, he would often say something perfectly innocuous, and then giggle through nerves.
Ms Vorderman, unable to distinguish a humerous remark from a funeral eulogy, would laugh to show that she got the joke, even though she didn't, because there wasn't one.
Sure enough, her honking laugh - a sure sign of the terminally humour-free, , would drift over the studio floor.
Whitely, figuring he had said something funny, and being incapable of discerning what it was, would laugh louder, also in an effort to be in on the non-existent humour.
Ms Vodrerman, sure she was on safe ground because Whiteley was laughing, so it must be funny, would honk even louder, and so they went on, manacled together in some hideously humourless coupling that seemed to be ignored by the Channel 4 bosses.
It reached its peak when Whitely suggested to a series winner that he should donate his prize - a series of dictionaries, to his old school.
The contestant was seriously embarrassed on national television, and Channel 4 had to apologies, with immortal words "Richard was trying to make a joke, and he isn't very good at it ..." which is an understatement of galaxy-sized proportions.
Memory does not recall if Ms Vorderman was honking herself into unconsciousness on the other side of the studio, but given her form in the area of complete inability to grasp humour, it's a fair bet that she was.

She seems pleasant enough and I think her sense of humour is fine, as was Richard Whiteley's.
I disagree with davebro too. Although as a woman I probably don't see what dave sees, I wouldn't call her a 'babe'. I think she looks cheap in those tight clothes she wears. If I were a man I'm pretty sure I'd consider Nichole Kidman in her Chanel adverts a 'babe'. That was class - and there's no substitute for that.
