I like the frock section . I like getting a whiff of what the dancers will wear even though half the time the sketches shown bear no resemblance to the finished article .But it could be hosted by anyone with even a basic knowledge of the show . Vicky is a nice person but that giggling and grinning is OTT .
Get back in the sewing room Vicky, time's a wastin' .

She comes across as a very nice person and a highly respected professional , I much prefer her as a guest to the over the top camp Ian Waite .

Yes, we are sadly missing godets this year!!

Lol some of these replies are hilarious.

I get my dressmaking-terminology-fix from Sewing Bee. Plus a healthy dose of Winklemania to keep me going in the absence of Strictly.

I feel really sorry for Vicky on ITT, she clearly isn't comfortable being on TV and giggles because she is nervous. I think Zoe actually makes her job harder because she plays so dumb and pretends to be all agog the minute she mentions any term remotely related to dressmaking like "godet", and makes her explain it when she's already done it a million times before, so I sometimes thinks she over simplifies what she says to avoid any stupidness from Zoe because she doesn't know how to react to it.

I really hate the Zoe era of ITT, I wish she would change it up a bit and treat the viewer like they don't have the memory of a fish.

I don't . Way too loud


Although I have no interest in Vicky's section, the fact that she is smiling and laughing (for whatever reason) is a breath of fresh air to the usual misery guts on TV these days.

I would much rather watch her on ITT than either Hardy or Waite, I go and put the kettle on when either of them appears.

She seems like a sweet person - but have to agree about the giggling - just one per 5 mins please - not every 5 secs.

OOOH , I love sewing bee . I only got into it last year but wouldn't miss it now .

Not liking Vicky putting Tameka in raggy taggy bin bags . We know she's a chubber but blimey , give the girl a bit of help with a bright costume . Even her frilly swimsuit was better that this week's funereal bag of old rags . Get a grip wardrobe .
Loving Louise finding her inner dance diva in a sparkly leotard . Simple but effective .

Exactly, far better than some schooled "presenter". I think her giggle is cute, too.

I'll take her any day over the Winkle Woman who IS very irritaing now!

I love Sewing Bee too. But I think I think the Strictly wardrobe dept. does some people no good at all and they seem to have awful outfits week after week. Larger bosomed ladies almost always suffer badly from unsuitable bodices with no proper support. Natalie always looks gorgeous however. I wish we could have proper full length ballroom dresses for the ballroom dances. They don't need to be meringues, but should have skirts that flare out nicely. Flavia used to have some lovely dresses, in subtle colours and simple, unfussy fabrics which draped beautifully. They were just classy.

I agree but I spell it gushed.

Infurtiating? This seems a bit harsh a description for someone that just discusses the dresses that are going to be worn. Some people in politics infuriate me when they lie or have silly public bust-ups because they can't just communicate like adults, but, no, Vicky in contrast doesn't infuritate me.

Gushed , . True though .It is all very gushy. I'd love it if Zoe just said "that waltz dress is a bit grim . A few more layers of tulle or organza and some diamante needed there babe . "
Or " Blimey, hasn't anyone told you that putting chubby people in all black does NOT slim them down .It just gives them yet another disadvantage " .

nope

I adore Vicky Gill

she is lovely - wish she was on ITT more

I always thought Claudia did a better job. Particularly at the beginning of the series, when the tiny set she was given looked more like "Santa's Ghetto." She could be quite acerbic but very funny. But it was obvious in the later series she was told to "tone it down."
I've never taken to Zoe Ball, it's too much about her.

She's actually my favourite part of ITT.

Love gigglers so no she's fine by me.
