The comments are not justified.
She is a slim good looking woman in her early 50s.
She has a great cheery personality and does more than present the weather nowadays on the beeb.
She looks great for her age, not that age should even matter. She's a pretty woman with lots of fans.
Sadly, I am not one of them because I cannot bear her voice. She even makes a Scottish accent (which I usually love) sound really, really irritating. I always mute her.

She should get Anton.”
And you berate others for judging people before seeing them dance. You should stay in the mean girls thread.
I expect we might get some really subtle jokes in there as well.
"Let's hope Craig doesn't rain on her parade or give her a frosty reception!", "Carol will be the first to tell you, it's snow joke appearing on Strictly!"
She seems a nice enough person and well-known on BBC TV, but I'd never consider her physicality suited to ballroom dancing. But I guess you could say that about a lot of people who have been contestants.

I don't know her , but she sounds just fine for Strictly .
People need to get real . We can't have George Clooney and Angelina Jolie , so we need to make do with what the producers can access . I'm happy to give everyone a fair crack of the whip . Even though I might dislike someone in the first week they can turn things round a week later .I'm fickle but fair .

Me neither - but her sunny, (no pun intended!) easy-going personality and full appreeciation of having been selected will win through a keep her in a good few weeks regardless. Of those announced, she'll be "The People's Champion".
Personally, I've wanted her to do Strictly forever!
I don't find she has much of a personality tbh, she's very pleasant etc but she doesn't come across as someone who has her own opinion on anything, but merely enthusiastically agrees with whoever she's speaking to.
