Greg Davies ( mock the week ) once said of Mz Balding that he loved a woman that looked like she could hold her own in a pub fight
ReplyDeleteWe have a less than six degrees connection with Clare's family since she was a child. We think she's great. What's with the "Jolly Lesbian" title? She's not defined by her sexuality. You of all people should know that. FFS. She's a brilliant accomplished TV sports presenter. And pretty nice with it.
ReplyDeleteIt is an affectionate title that's all
DeleteI adore her ability to be professional, likeable and bloody talented
At least he didn't call her a 'dike on a bike'.
DeleteNothing to do with your post, but it's snowing and I wanted to moan at someone.

She is a breath of fresh air - I think she's great. xx
ReplyDeleteSo do,I di
DeleteShe could teach all of those 2 something loud and shouting presenters we have to suffer these days.
We are always looking for new blood

ReplyDeleteIndeed, a true legend of BBC's incredible and sometimes correct sporting coverage. Jockey Liam Treadwell says, with a toothy grin, "I fang her for all her dedicated sporting work."
ReplyDeleteDon't know her, but sounds like she knows her stuff :D
ReplyDeleteSounds like a talented person who knows her hats!
ReplyDeleteAnd she gives wise dental advice too!
ReplyDelete:-)
DeleteI've been out rambling with her, many times. (Thanks to Radio 4). She's very good indeed.
ReplyDeleteI second yours and all the above positive comments. If I was hetero I'd be wishing she was too. (What's that got to do with anything? Search me! Just thought I'd throw it into the mix.)
ReplyDeleteI have no idea who she is, except what you wrote here. But what I know is that the world needs more people like her. Not lesbians, not TV presenters, but people who are good at what they do despite the useless bullshit that plagues everyone's lives.
ReplyDeleteShe's very good at her job and doesn't seem to have a single ounce of nastiness or arrogance in her, which is truly refreshing.
ReplyDeleteIf I were her, I'd be deeply offended...old indeed!
ReplyDeleteShe has made sport more interesting for me so congratulations to Claire !
ReplyDeleteShe stole my BAFTA! The Olympic Opening Ceremony was up for a BAFTA, but we didn't win. Just because she was brilliant is no excuse....
ReplyDeleteI agree. Good for her. Just a shame Miranda Hart came away empty handed yet again but good on Olivia Coleman - the queen of the show.
