BB FANS

Thing is - he didn't just have to stand there and look pretty. He had to take his turns on the autocue. And I felt bad for him, as it was obviously beyond him. I think he'd be quite good at just chatting to people, once he got over his nervousness, and as his diary room date with BB proved, he can be very quick witted with funny oneliners.

I think with an autocue, you would have to make it look as if you were casually glancing at the autocue screen, everytime you read your next part. I have seen "experienced" people do this, and even with them, i could tell why they were looking at that little screen for. I don't know what it must have been like for Anthony, but i'll sharp see.

Taking the mick out out of his speech is out of order, i think thats going abit far Saying you didnt think he was very good is one thing, but thats abit personal and OOO!

Anyway, didnt see itr sadly Doa nyone know if its repeated atall??

It might just be the way he talks, slang to be precise. It will be hard talking properly if you are used to speaking in slang, but he needs to work on this. If this is what people are talking about. Anyway, to be honest, i didn't really think there was anything wrong with his speech in the house. When doing his interview, it could have had maybe a bit more depth, but as for what his speech was like inside the house, seemed okay to me.

To be honest, I was expecting him to be really dreadful on this, so I was quite pleasantly surprised. He wasn't brilliant, but he was better than I was expecting. You could see that he was reading, but I liked it when he got a bit tongue-tied and said 'taxi for Hutton' and was able to laugh at himself.

Dear oh dear, he wont be doing that again.

who else would employ him after that?

hes not very bright is he?

did you hear him call Army of Lovers by Lee Ryan Army of Love?

Schoolboy error!

at least he seemed easy going

he wasnt good but i never really saw anthony as a presenter.
I think he should stick to the 70s dancing

omg! Arrestable offence there!

I didn't see it, so can't really comment, but having been in the CD:UK audience a few times in years gone by, I was able to appreciate just how difficult live TV can be.

Of course he's not going to be brilliant - he's never done it before, and it's unlikely he had any coaching for it!

Its recorded on a Saturday afternoon, according to the ticketing website.

It is... but it's filmed as if it was live - there's no stopping and starting.

Live or not, TV presenting doesn't come naturally to many people at all!

No, fair point.

But surely they saw that he wasnt very good during a screentest?
