Emma refusing to Hug Ann

[Nancy.]

Anyone notice how Emma swanned off up the stairs without giving Ann a hug?

Nasty cow!

[Amy Jade]

Would Ann have been a willing recipient?

[Marches]

Did the interview happen yet

Is she getting berated like I anticipated

[bots]

Ann doesn't like to be hugged so she was being respectful

[Parmy]

Emma ruined another interview..she needs sacked.

[Nancy.]

Would Ann have been a willing recipient?

She hugged Shayne J and Andrew after they clashed, so I'd say so.

[Northern Monkey]

I think she just didn’t want Ann to have to get up.She’s quite old.
Also Emma seems pressed for time judging by the rest of the show

[T*]

I feel like Ann would start screeching and banging her head with her hands if someone touches her when she doesn’t expect it

[LukeB]

Ann was rude to her. I don't blame Emma

[Underscore]

SLAY

[lewis111]

She was obviously angry in the moment after the way Ann talked to her

Ann showed her no respect why she should To Ann

[mr rochester]

Emma did the right thing. Ann was deliberately difficult because that’s the persona she has chosen to give herself so she can hardly change right at the end. The act secures her another panto season.

I quite like Ann but I think she may be strapped for cash and at her age I don’t think she can secure an income in any other way.

Yeah people purposely forgot that to make out Emma was in the wrong.

[poppsywoppsy]

I see Emma chose pink, her bias showing

Don’t think so, she does the cruise circuit on Cunard...

I don't think Emma liked Ann much . It's always clear when they have their favourites :notimpressed: :suspect: .

[Twosugars]

I see Emma chose pink, her bias showing

And audience clapped loudly, biased against Ann. And the moon didn't show its face to spite Ann.

[Parmy]

Emma cant even make sure her research is right....bringing up anns cats when they died not long ago.

[Kazanne]

I just saw it as she was pressed for time and didn't want Ann to stand up too quickly but some will look for a negative in everything.

[poppsywoppsy]

I thought Ann a bit terse in that interview but as she has been attacked so frequently on their, I think she expected it again.

Didn't stop her from showing how unprofessional Emma's research was though.

[Livia]

Emma ruined another interview..she needs sacked.

Her interview with Ann was one of the most unprofessional things I've ever seen on BB, and that's saying something.

[Nancy.]

Exactly. She made a right mug of herself when she said that, but i'm pleased Ann corrected her and didn't fawn over her, like others do.
There's far to many snowflakes, arselickers and backstabbers in the world and that's why I love Ann. She doesn't tip-toe around people and tells them exactly what she thinks. The more people like Ann, the merrier i'll be.

Ann has an ex cabinet ministers pension for life, she is not strapped for cash :laugh: If you become an MP you have a guaranteed pension for life .... the height of unfairness I think.

[LukeB]

Her interview with Ann was one of the most unprofessional things I've ever seen on BB, and that's saying something.

Emma was fine with Ann:shrug: it was Ann being rude to Emma for no reason.

[Amy Jade]

It's not Emma's job to research facts.

She probably didn't hug Ann because Ann didn't want to hug Emma or if I were in Emma's position I wouldn't hug the difficult rancid cow either

[Parmy]

Her interview with Ann was one of the most unprofessional things I've ever seen on BB, and that's saying something.

I timed how long she pressed her about changing her opinion....you dont want to know for how long and how many times she asked her....wasnt nice to watch.

Your research is about as good as Emma's. She's old, she must be broke.


"Ann is the former MP for Maidstone, Ann is an author, writer, broadcaster and outstanding speaker who is also extremely well known for her many TV appearances and strong opinions. Her impressive and extensive political and television career make Miss Widdecombe a highly interesting and well experienced public speaker and allowing her to be at ease with any audience and any event, corporate or private. Ann is also happy to take any questions post-speech, dealing with them as a true politician."

Did you see her interview with Rylan? He did a better job than Emma (although still cringeworthy).

[LukeB]

Yeah miserable ann is that type to do that tbh, and the way she tried to show up Emma was unnecessary so it’s understandable why they wouldn’t hug each other.

[Livia]

It was quite a while I bet. It was bloody shameful, Parm.

[Kazanne]

Emma was fine with Ann:shrug: it was Ann being rude to Emma for no reason.

How is telling someone if she asks the same question,she will get the same answer being rude ? Emma should have been content with her first answer,I know you don't like Ann but really, she was not rude,Emma was unprofessional.

[Livia]

It's not Emma's job to research facts.

She probably didn't hug Ann because Ann didn't want to hug Emma or if I were in Emma's position I wouldn't hug the difficult rancid cow either

I love you with all my heart, AJ, but it IS Emma's job to get it right. She's the one who looks stupid if the research is wrong. It made her look cold and rude and not at all impartial.

Thing is, I'm delighted Shane J won I liked him from the start. But I'm appalled at how judgemental this forum has been while those in the house (with the exception of India and Andrew) came to a kind of mutully respectful peace.

[Livia]

Did you see her interview with Rylan? He did a better job than Emma (although still cringeworthy).

I thought it was all very patronising. But yes, he did a better job. Just.

[Livia]

Strange you can't see it, Luke. You're usually saying how everyone should be inclusive and accepting of others. But not in this case.

[Nancy.]

Well, she should've kept her mouth shut about her cats then, shouldn't she?

At this stage of her BB career, she should be prepared to handle "difficult" hm's.

If I was Ann, I wouldn't have wanted to give her a hug either after such an unprofessional interview, but as we've seen, she doesn't hold grudges with people she's clashed with. Even if she had wanted to hug Emma, she didn't give her a chance considering she was up the stairs like lightening. I used to really like Emma, but her interview technique leaves a lot to be desired. She's certainly no Davina.

[Denver]

Davina would never be so petty

[Underscore]

who'd want to hug her tho????

[Livia]

I am so disgusted by this forum today.

[Parmy]

No wonder she had to rush off, it takes the hopeless cow 2 mins to say 8 words..
Ann was like a two day coke binge in her delivery compared to emma who sounded like she had just chuffed half an ounce of weed.

[bots]

I am so disgusted by this forum today.

Me too Livia. I've seen very few if any sour grapes threads, but so many threads from people doing exactly what they don't want done to themselves

[Livia]

No, no sour grapes to be seen. I liked Ann, but I liked Shane J too. I think they handled the situation the best they could.... but I'm actually shocked at the spite and the venom.

I'm not Livia, it's been getting worse and worse and so hypocritical, people spout hate and venom and when it,s bounced back they cry foul:shrug: no wonder the place is quiet :wavey:

And now anns responsible for the countless deaths her views have caused.:joker:

You have to put a laugh smiley or you would give up.

[Tom4784]

I'd refuse to hug her too, she was an utter hag to Emma in that interview when all Emma did was follow instructions given to her.

[Cherry Christmas]

Emma should have at least offered a hand shake she is representing the show, not herself, Ann was runner up and commanded a huge slice of the voting percentage, personal bias is never welcome in the workplace

[bots]

i didn't think it was the case, but if Emma didn't hug Ann out of some form of spite, I would be very disappointed in her. Ann has said repeatedly that she isn't comfortable with shows of affection, and I thought Emma was respecting that :shrug:

[Shaun]

Ann had just spent the latter half of the interview insulting Emma and her line of questioning, it's not really that surprising.

[reece(:]

Emma did well not to drag Ann

[Christmas Dynasnow]

emma is vile now

[bots]

emma is vile now

i am going off her, she comes over badly in interviews. If it was just Ann, i could let it go, but its been countless occasions now. She is far to bias and far to light weight for her to be considered seriously. We could say its only BB who cares, but when its set up as a method of challenging peoples behaviour in the house it should at least be consistent and professional.

[rionablue]

Nasty cow!

Emma is beautiful and the best presenter in the UK Ann doesnt like human contact which was established in the house and Emma possibly decided to respect that. The only time I saw someone hugging Ann it was very very awkward

[Amy Jade]

She didn't refuse a hug. That would imply Ann offered one and never. Perhaps Emma was being respectful of Ann's boundaries.

Emma never hugged Shane Lynch either but lo-and-behold no outrage to be seen over that :laugh:

[Jack_]

For Emma to 'refuse' to hug her, Ann would have to offered her a hug in the first place. She didn't. So no refusal.

Ann doesn't like a lot of physical contact. She was also sat down. She'd also just been very abrupt to Emma. I saw no reason for a hug.

And if all of that STILL isn't good enough, Emma offered Ann a hug as soon as she came out of the doors of the house.

misleading title and an issue over nothing.

You mean like she did with most of the hm's - just like she did with most of them again at the end of each interview?

Whether Ann doesn't like physical contact is beside the point. She could've asked "Do you want a Hug, Ann"? But she just swanned off leaving Ann looking bemused...then again, maybe Ann was bemused by her shocking interview technique and inability to handle "Difficult" hm's after all these years.

Yes you are quite right about my research being as bad as Emma’s. That is because I am neither a researcher nor Emma. I am merely a member of a forum which allows us to state our views. The views I stated were my own views as I was trying to think of any possible reason (of which there could be many) for why Ann chooses to represent herself in the manner she does.

I am grateful to you for your research which now disavows me of my clearly incorrect submission.

I will now have to give some thought as to other possible reasons why Ann behaves as she does if it is not for financial gain.

Thank you.

[Amy Jade]

If Emma had of hugged Ann I could imagine a similar thread demonizing her for having the audacity to hug Ann.

:facepalm:

[Marches]

Utterly disgusting replace Emma with kim woodburn

[BBUKfan88]

Ann was rude through the whole interview and made a comment about how many times Emma asked her the same question about Ann changing her mind in regards to her personal views.
