Am I the only one that cant stop looking at Gloria Hunifords hair every time she is on television? It always looks so puffed up and unnatural looking and she always has a very long fringe. Do you think it could be a wig?

At 77 we should be " gentle" with her :-)
As I don't view daytime TV I rarely bump into her much - most of my replies were about her hair which I thought the thread was centred on.
Some might see the A_Hughes obsession with commenting on Ms H in the same way as they'd view a small boy running up behind a girl he fancies in the playground, punching her not too playfully on the shoulder and running away, just to prove his disdain and lack of interest.

Can sitting in a tree be far away?
Naomi - // Easy to criticise, but she's lost a child, she's human, and that's hard. Unless you've walked in her shoes how do you know? //

Every single time I have commented on Gloria Hunniford, including this thread, I have stated that I completely sympathise with her loss.

What strains that sympathy to breaking point is the way in which she talks as though no-one else has ever lost someone, coupled with her unseemly urge to bring her deceased daughter into any and all conversation on the flimsiest of pretexts.

As I also pointed out, her fellow Loose Women panellist Colleen Nolan has lost two of her sisters to cancer, but she doesn't drag up their deaths virtually every time she appears on screen.

I have every sympathy with anyone who loses a loved one, but I find it hard to sympathise with a woman who has parlayed her loss into a career staple.
anne - //At 77 we should be " gentle" with her :-) //

Why?

Does her age mean she is less willing to exploit her loss at every opportunity? Apparently not, so there is no reason to be 'gentle' with her while she continues to harp on about her bereavement as though she is the only person who has ever lost a child.

Some? I am sure I am not alone in not having the faintest idea what you are talking about.
I don't have a feeling about Gloria Hunniford either way but I think some of the comments are a little harsh, Grief is a personal thing and some people never get over losing a loved one, its still raw, I cannot imagine how devastated I would feel to lose a child. She obviously is still struggling to come to terms with her daughters death, this is why she is talking about it so much, I don't think she is deliberately trying to ruin interviews, especially when the interview is an emotive one. some of the comments about her appearance are a little insensitive..she is 77 for goodness sake.
Well said purist. I found her charming and friendly. I often still talk about my Vera. I lost her to her second cancer in 2011. It's a natural reaction, if you will. When you lose someone you love and are proud of, why wouldn't you talk about them? It's part of the grieving process.

andy-hughes, despite your assurances, when you dislike a celebrity it shows.
Waterboatman - but you don't go on TV and do it when you are supposed to be there to talked about the death of someone else do you? I am totally with Andy on this.

And for those who say you need to have walked in her shoes .... well I am in her position, a son in my case, as a few may remember on here as I have mentioned it a while ago. And I can assure you my loss is as great as hers. I've said enough.

I'm not racist ... but
Does it matter if her hair is going thin ? After all who wants fat hair ?

No argument about her feelings of loss, that is a given, but she is a professional TV personality, and as such, she should behave appropriately, and constantly harping on about her lost daughter is simply not professional.

As for her being 77 - there is no age limit on professional behaviour - in fact, at her age, and with her experience, she should know better.
Naomi - // andy-hughes, despite your assurances, when you dislike a celebrity it shows. //

I would hope it did, since that is what I am expressing.

As far as I am concerned, sympathising with someone's loss and being annoyed at their apparent inability to stop steering every conversation round to it on television, are separate.

What are you talking about?
andy-hughes, you make the right noises but the rest of your lengthy deliberations on the subject tend to render those inconsequential.
Naomi - //andy-hughes, you make the right noises but the rest of your lengthy deliberations on the subject tend to render those inconsequential. //

I am not making any 'noises', I am simply expressing a point of view, and if you think I am not genuine, that is your perception, but in my view you are incorrect.
andy-hughes, Yes, it is my perception.... but you're big on perceptions, so I guess that's acceptable.
Naomi - I have expressed my opinion, you have expressed your opinion on my opinion - are we done now?
