No, I haven't wondered actually...particularly as she does the mega-fundraiser that is Children in Need every year...
Tess is not as bad as everyone is making out. Granted, she is not nearly as quick-witted and spontaneous as Claudia but is pretty and adequate enough. I think she gets a lot of unfair stick on here like blaming her for "brilliant orchestra" or "Strictly stars" (which BOTH her & Claudia say but no-one mentions Claudia). It is clear that the previous phrases are considered "Bruce-isms" and that the script has been changed to reflect that.
Fact of the matter is, she nabbed what has become one of the best jobs in television so the jealousy word plays a big part here. As for Tess, she has not only become synonymous with the show she's also no fool and will not be going anywhere just yet....unless she takes her Gleb-perving that one step too far...!
