I think Fiona is fab, her occasional crassnes and general dizzy demeanour are all part of her charm for me, at least she's not stiff and starchy.
This is one of those rare moments when we agree. I used to find her annoying, but she is the only onscreen companion for Eamonn.
And Mel Sykes? <shudder>
I stopped watching GMTV ages ago, Fiona is so patronising on the one hand, but then manages to ask the most inane questions. Kate isn't much better either.
Add the TV review, and the Cheggers bit, and its a complete and recurring daily nightmare!!!
There is a reason why GMTV is looking so dated and so crass.
It's because all the female presenters look desperate.
In fact, they could all be in Sex and the City.
Penny Smith is the dead ringer for Samantha.
Fiona is Carrie.
Kate is the uptight one who married someone important (or was that impotent)
Anyway, ten years ago... when most of these people started... they were seen as young and funky... the new generation.
Now they're all looking just a little bit sad. And, as i said, Desperate.
Noone looks as though they'd had a good shag...and enjoyed it... for ages.
But you know they've all just scoffed a full fat yoghout. Toffee flavour, I would imagine.
And Eamon.
Dear Eamon.
"Big" just isn't the word.
It really needs a full makeover.
There's no denying Eamon is a good broadcast and him and Fiona have chemistry. Unfortunately, I always hated chemistry at school.
And the subject matter... if it's not breast cancer leading the bulletins it's that slimey dokter talking about meningitis (see I can spell).
So... Emily Maitliss and Ben Sheppherd presenting and Owen Thomas reading the bulletins. Er that's it.

Emily Maitliss and Ben Sheppherd good combination and Owen news reader would make a good show- it needs a change. Even the set has not changed much after the shambles of a launch where they sat at a breakfast table with the fire in the background (remember that one) who would have thought they would have turned it around but they have.
Big mistake to take the STV girl in (nightmare) and thats coming from a Scot!
Oooooooh ooooooooh please whatever happens do not let Jenny Faulkner take over I cannot stand her voice and I am Scottish, and the only other Scot who I have heard talk like that is Natalie from Hollyoaks.
Its when your watching GMTV and all of the presenters are English then suddenley lorraine kelly comes on. Her Scottish accent stands out a mile away. Same with the Irish and Welsh accents. When I go to England (try not to) my accent stands out like a sore thumb and I feel stupid when I talk as I feel as if I don't fit it.
Banksey.....well I'm a BA Purser & work many domestic flights, but even in drag I dont think I would resemble any of the GMTV females (would prob look better!! )
Maybe I've missed someone, but think I'd have noticed a 6'2" rugby player in a frock on the box
No - don't let Ben Shepard anywhere near the sofa. That inane, rictus grin and smarmy 'the housewives all love me' attitude of his is enough to have me diving for the remote.
So... Emily Maitliss and Ben Sheppherd presenting and Owen Thomas reading the bulletins. Er that's it.
Welcome to the 21st century.
Emily Maitliss good idea, Ben Shepherd is too young and wouldn't be able add the gravitas to major news stories that you get from the likes of John Stapelton, Owen Thomas reading the news would be awful, he's only just bearable on the ITV overnighters.
It simply has to be an old man - young woman combo, so I'd like to see someone like Jenni Falconer (who I think is absolutely fab) with someone like Bob Warman. I can see them working well together, with maybe the *fab* Jackie Kabler doing the news.
