Dear Oh Dear

[Jordyboy9]

I have just been shown a photograph of Judy Finnegan she could do with a make over,she is looking really haggard I think Richard should have a word with her

[Sqad]

Jordy.......she has looked like that for the past 25 years....overweight, alcohol abuse, ...............to mention just a few.

[Prudie]

She has looked rough for a long time but short of going under the knife there's not much she can do about it. They have a very long marriage so Richard must appreciate her in other ways.

[Sqad]

Morning Prudie my love.

Cosmetic surgeons can deal with most things, but the impossible comes much more expensive.

The problem is in the skull rather than the rest of the body and there is little one can do about that.

[kvalidir]

I don't personally like her ( or him) but I really don't care what she looks like, and she's quite a bit older than him so bound to look a bit more 'lived in'.

[Prudie]

hello sqad x I know it's a bit shallow but he has always been dashingly handsome and has probably had a ton of temptation put in his way, she hasn't looked good for a very long time. They are however a package and a split or scandal might ruin their careers. We cannot speculate on what goes on behind closed doors however.

[Sqad]

Quite.......

Was there an allegation some years ago concerning Richard and a shoplifting accusation?

[janbee]

She's looked pretty rough for many years now. I think she's about 10 years older than her toy boy hubby.

[Cloverjo]

I don't think she looks too bad for her age. We used to seeing celebrities all made up and botoxed, and are shocked when one of them looks like a normal woman. She has been ill, too.
I saw her in a restaurant almost a year ago and she looked great.

[jno]

she looks like a 66-year-old woman? It shouldn't be allowed. (Actually, I don't think it is, at least not on TV. Okay to look like a 66-year-old man, though.)

[janbee]

A good example about how NOT to live. A good advert for being tee-total !

[Prudie]

No it's not about being 66, she doesn't look particularly old or wrinkly or 66. She looks bloated and huge bags and unhealthy.

66 isn't about being wrinkly, though (most of us have developed a few by that age, but not a huge number). But weight gain is common among those genetically predisposed to it, and health isn't always what it was either.

Of course going about without makeup is a capital offence at any age.

[kvalidir]

Yeah but we all have good days and bad days and she might have some health issues that we- shock horror- are unaware about. It also depends where you are how you dress and what you look like- I never wear makeup unless I am going out somewhere special, I either wear my hair loose or in a pony tail unless I'm going anywhere special- in short I probably look rough a lot of the time, but I'm not spending hours getting ready to go to the shop or a dog show- and neither should she, if it was the Oscars that'd be different-she's just a make up free, possibly ill, possibly alcoholic older lady who looks lived in, and I think that's okay.

[Sqad]

kvali.........there are degrees of roughness...........rough and dog rough and she looks dog rough most of the time.
Yes, i am sure that she has "health issues"...probably alcohol related, but all Jordyboy is commenting on is "her looks" for a woman of 66 years of age, in the public eye.

\\\\ What makes you think she's a drinker?\\\

"Rumblings" over the past 20 years.

I have no direct personal evidence.

Sqad's a closet Bella subscriber :-)

[boxtops]

"Richard should have a word with her"? If my OH had a word with me about me looking my age, I'd poke him in the eye :-)

[bednobs]

PMSL at that article
"She spent 20 years of her career seated next to husband Richard Madeley as they co-hosted various shows.
So it comes as no surprise that Judy Finnigan opted to spend some time away from her better half on Friday as she enjoyed a lunch date with friends in north London."
or in other words "woman leave house on her own!!!! eats food, wears no make up"

[Retrochic]

I don't know if anyone else has experience of this, but a few very handsome men I've known have rather dowdy, sometimes even ugly wives. Years ago I was introduced to a drop dead gorgeous french man and when I saw his wife I thought it was his mother (and no, money toy/boy syndrome not involved). Again, a few years ago I went to a school reunion and the fat ugly girl we had in the class had a husband who was a George Cluny look-a-like. As for Judy -well she should have those eyes done if nothing else she looks like a blood hound.
