BOTS is hard to bear at the best of times, because of the audience, most of the guests, and the idiotic filler items (which have become fewer recently). But with the eeeeeeeeee on the top of Emma's voice for most of the show, I'm finding it very wearing.

I generally like Emma as a presenter (though I'm increasingly bothered by the bias in what she said, regardless of whether it's down to her or to the BB producers), but it's her voice that's making it hard to watch, and I can't think of any other presenter with a voice like that.

(Courtney's voice is annoying as well when so goes high pitched, but she's not a presenter, and we don't get so much of it.)

(I wonder why it takes so long for the poll part to appear.)

You should have added another point:

I have to switch off when she's on BBOTS

That's the one I would be checking, but opted for the top one.

I don't find Emma's voice that bad, although I can think of a lot better!

Agree, esp when all her jokes are on the autocue, so she's already seen them once.

Her voice is dreadful, she could have coaching to help lower it.
Don't like anything about her , never have.

I like her on BOTS. On the other hand, for the main show, I'm starting to miss Brian.

The only thing that bothers me about her talking is when she suddenly sounds Northern, but only for one word out of a sentence. Like "dance" or "last".

Not saying it's bad to be Northern, just weird that it's only for certain words.

Oh, that's harsh! I don't like Emma's voice, but she's much nicer than Davina. Both are rubbish presenters and (especially) interviewers, but Emma is much less objectionable.

I just can't get on with BOTS, just as I could never get on with BBBM. It so often seems to consist of idiots saying idiotic things. Emma's voice is the least of my worries.

I will say that the BB12 BOTS was a kind of nadir and it has never been that bad since.

Like a normal person.

Her voice gets a bit irritating and high pitched when shes a bit over excited on BOTS, but I tend not to notice it and when shes presenting the main show or This Morning or whatever, she just speaks normal.

She knows what her voice is like, that's why she said 'who am I to criticise' when Courtney's squealing was discussed.

I haven't watched Big Brother before so I don't remember Davina McCall on it. However, I don't particularly admire Ms McCall's presenting skills on the things I have seen her front.

However, I must say that I really like Emma Willis. I think she's very charismatic and has a great presence and natural ability as a presenter.

She can get a bit shrill, but that's her only flaw. No-one's perfect.

Yes. She's trying to personalise it too much and be all charisamtic like Davina. Trouble is it comes over as showing off. Davina was getting too over the top towards the end and this happened with her too.
