Me too Hopkirk!
People seemed down on Kelly brook from day one because she was gorgeous - a crim in some TV circles. She was also nineteen, and new to the job, and having phonetic cue-cards is hardly a crime.
Live TV is hugely stressful - you get 'gallery' sound through your ear-piece, which means instructions to twelve people on the floor go through everyone's earpiece, and the recipient has to pick out the messages for them, and screen out the rest - while reading an autocue and looking effortless and smiling!
it's not that simple, and she was never given enough time to learn her trade.
