Said Orla I am here etc

This forum and elsewhere would have been in meltdown

So how why is it ok for Claudia to do it?

She's a woman.

Thiught it was out of place on a family show.

Thought it was incredibly naff. Tess usually does the desperate cougar stuff.

Quite. Double standards.

Said elsewhere if a man had done similar they would have been branded a pervert

Didn't notice. I have the Tess-o-matic filter on.

I mentioned the same thing. Bruce would have been booted off the show if he'd made a similar remark.

Sir Bruce is a multi talented living legend he does not have to resort to crudities to entertain.

Gay men can get away with that stuff though. Can gay women women get away with that sort of gag? Probably not any better than Tess and Claudia.

Same scenario as a bunch of "marauding" woman ogling (and in most cases fondling) male strippers as opposed to a group of "lecherous" men simply watching female ones.

Double standards all day long.

I'm surprised Claudia went along with it, as I doubt she came up with it herself. She was very manic and annoying tonight.

This.

The "It's Auntie Claude" line was most unnerving...

It was cringeworthy

And I also noticed Tess said Jeremy Vine got up in time to watch Pointless surely she meant Eggheads or was she being sly!

Thought it was really tacky and inappropriate tbh. Could have done without it.

Bruno has said a lot worse.

If you're referring to the "riding" you comment, that is hardly the same as it applies to both Ola and Chris as one person cannot ride alone.

The handcuff thing was so weird and cringe, like they were trying to cash in on some 50 Shades thing.

The gushing is starting to get on peoples nerves.

Borefest you are perfectly right. I felt the same way about Alison's "big girl sandwich" with Lisa Riley last year. Aljaz being their "filling."

If Claudia had jittered around on the spot slowly removing layers of her clothing whilst singing "Do You Think I'm Sexy"...

Yep. My toes have only just uncurled since that.

But yeah- the manic hen-party chatter does pall quite quickly.

All the presenting seems to be very manic.

The Davina McCall school of TV presenting, ever since she hit the scene I feel TV presenting went that way. Like compared to say her flavour of the month predecessor Ulrika Jonsson. I mean Gladiators never had this kind of manic crazy stuff and constant gushing over the men and Ulrika was hooking up with one.

Davina is the Queen of presenters
