Heat: What would surprise people about you?
Konnie Huq: People don't really know what you're like, so they build up a picture based on two words like 'Blue Peter'. People think people on telly are quite bland and vacuous. The ones that do well are those who aren't opinionated, especially girls. I think it's because people prefer women not to be outspoken or to have personalities. They don't like women who are not the norm - but if they are the norm, they get called bland. You can't win.

When I think about Konnie Huq. (not that I ever try to) the two words that I get are: Olympic Torch!

That tells me all I want to know about someone so self-promoting that she put that before people dying and being oppressed.

Konnie Huq has achieved the enormous task of making presenting Xtra Factor look really difficult. The sooner she is sacked the better, for the viewers and for any semblance of a career she has left.

Not that I'm bitter about Charlton or anything

I actually quite like her. Much more understated style of presenting to Hollie and Fern and she has had a few glitches, but I do like her. I am aware that I am in a minority though on here

On 26 July 2010 Huq married satirist and critic Charlie Brooker at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas after a nine-month relationship.[20][21]
Well, that explains how she got the gig

Me too. Although I don't watch every episode of Xtra factor, I certainly didn't watch them last year s'all I'm saying.

Well, you've got to take in to account that outside of DS I'm sure plenty of other people like her and when some people are on DS they always have to find something negative especially when there's a change. Not saying she's perfect but she's funny.

Anybody replacing Holly's shoes was going to be disliked.

Give Konnie a chance!

I like her, she isn't as bland as some other presenters.

Konnie is the most relevant tv presenter in the UK.

I agree. As our own Mr Cowell would say, she's "current."

she is rubbish and wooden and we are supposed to mistake her lack of personality/charisma/charm as being sarcastic/"current"/humorous.

Konnie has been misunderstood.

I reckon that by the end of this year's series, people will have started to warm towards her.

I am not a fan of Holly but Konnie is a terrible choice, its painful viewing, I don't think she is a non-entity but she isn't exactly A-list in my opinion either.

" I think it's because people prefer women not to be outspoken" No Konnie people prefer women to just have a personality full stop, I saw one week there was a contestant sitting right next to her and she was twisting and turning her head looking for them up and down and asked where they were and he was like "I'm right next to you" bless her lol it's not her fault really, the shows just too big and she's out of her depth but she does seem lovely, shes to understated and shy for the show

She has killed the Xtra Factor this series. An absolute disaster. Every comment is laboured, she sounds wooden and lifeless, awful, just awful.

The xtrafactor is rubbish anyway, I don't see how Konnie could make it any worse.

I think that Konnie would make an even better X Factor judge/mentor than presenter, given her strong interest in the music industry.

Also, when she was younger Konnie played an active role in the National Youth Music Theatre and used to sing solos on Blue Peter.

Konnie is absolutely TERRIBLE, she cant present to save her life, i cringe watching her, she has ruined the xtra factor... all she does is say "absolutely" she needs to think of new words....

And Simon needs to get rid of her and bring back Holly
