Big Brother's Little Brother host Zezi Ifore has responded to complaints about her presenting skills.

The 23-year-old multi-media self-promoter said she wasn't bothered by the "spitefulness" of Big Brother forum users and claimed there were plenty of people who thought she was doing a "good job".

"Good to luck to them," she told Metro. "I don’t have time to post crap on forums at 2am.

"I’ve got hundreds of people on MySpace telling me I do a good job but, on the flipside, you get people saying the opposite. They’re within their rights."

She added: "There are things I don’t like on TV but I’d never dream of posting them on a forum. There are other things to do. Watch something else, talk to your friends, have a beer, buy some shoes.

"All that spitefulness doesn’t affect me. I’m not sitting at home crying into my tea."

Yeah zezi, friends on your myspace will always say good things

Why does she think it's spiteful anyway? She must know she's not very good surely! How deluded is she?!

And she wouldn't dream of posting what she didn't like on tv on a forum?! Why not? It's hardly a crime! That's the kind of thing people post on forums.

As for watching something else, yeah it does turn me off bb which is a shame because I used to like it when dermot presented it...

Yes her Agent Rushed to get her in the Free Metro
since Millions Hate her.

I am so glad she did that. Some forum members are just that spiteful. They would sit in front of their computers all day,bumping up the how horrible zezi is thread,just to keep it going. Fair enough,criticize her presenting skills, but when you keep attacking her on a daily basis, about her appearance and everything else. I would call them spiteful as well. I havent seen one of those people acknowledge the fact that she's been better everyday, and yes she has technical difficulties, but from what I see, she does better all the time. But she is right, some people just have too much time on their hands

Not a very professional way to respond to the public though! she could have said she was taking some comments on board and was always open to constructive criticism without being so childish with her response.

[Wildcat!]

Well the fact to me is, she is telling the truth. I am sure she is new to PR, so she is not exactly polish about how to handle criticism, but like her presenting skills, that will all come in time. Its just that some people are absolutely mean spirited, and it seems they only watch to criticize. Like thats their goal in life!

Exactly what I was thinking. I don't think it does her any favours.

She's an idiot, she needs to be replaced.

I understand,but why would she bother? We all know FMs main purpose is to look at negatives. Her audience are not the FMs anyways. They all claimed they cant watch zezi,so fair enough if you ask me.

But then again, a lot of the people who do complain about her do it in a childish way, so I guess she is replying in the same way she is being treated.

But I still think she is an awful presenter! It's like she's had no training whatsoever. I could literally go and present bblb as well as she does right now! I think anyone could.

Sorry, I just find her really annoying. I don't know many other reasons why I don't like her, I just do.

[Bright-Eyes]

I am gald she spoke about this. I lke her a lot and know others do. Go Zezi!

[Wildcat!]

when 80% of the criticism she gets are obviously from bitter childish people, she is bound to be crossed by them. If I was her, frankly I wouldnt bother with them. I actually like BBLB now, which I didnt before, because with dermot, it felt like a robot. I knew exactly what he would say, what he would do, the jokes he would make, and he was very biased. These guys are funnier in my opinion, they just need to be given time to improve. They are bound to struggle, since everyone is so used to dermots usual gimmicks.

[Spike]

I don't why people don't like her she is brilliant on BBLB.

I don't think that's true. A lot of people just don't think she's a very good presenter. Not sure how that makes them bitter or childish. If anything, her response is childish.

I think a lot of these presenters are just used to being surrounded by people telling them how great they are all the time. There is certainly a bit of arrogance to her comments. She can't think she's perfect surely?!

She'd look better if she were a bit more modest and took it on the chin.

Id refer you to this forum thread to see how spiteful people can be, and childish!

hmmm channel 4 will be happy with that wont they, a presenter criticizing people for using a forum that is actually part of their show...wonder how that will go down...

yeah...only use the forum if you aren't going to say anything bad...has she ever seen a forum before...I think she's gotten off quite lightly.

she is an awful presenter, and she has made many BBLB fans turn away, that is not good, and the producers need to really think hard about it.

also, by this "statement" she actually comes across the way I feel she does on the show, very COCKY, for someone who can't back it up with talent or skill.

But I don't think 80% are. I don't rate her as a presenter at all! Lots of others don't. I realise some are a bit childish in how they word it but that's all it is at the end of the day. I think saying people are "bitter" is a bit of an exaggeration.

I mean it is a forum- people will talk about the good and bad at the end of the day and she does make a lot of mistakes on the show- she can hardly expect nobody to mention them.

I'd say something funny about that but I don't want to be labeled as being childish and bitter

Her statement just confirmed to me that she really does think she's that great- she really is that cocky and annoying!

I really was hoping she'd be more humble.

Ah go on, just say it !!

[GiRTh]

Can I ask all the people who are defending her - Do you honestly think she's a good presenter?

I've seen her twice once on the first day and again on Sunday because someone told me she had improved. She hadn't not even a little bit and I'll tell you why.

If she was presenting the show on her own ie running into every breaks, coming out of every breaks, inteviewing every guest, introducing every article etc then I too would probably be saying give her a chance but, BBLB last for 30 minutes, probably 22 minutes discounting breaks. George is the main presenter so he gets the most screen time so, lets face it, she's on screen for about 5 - 8 minutes each episode and she cant even get that right.

She's terrible. There is no nice way of putting it. She looks like she unde rrehearsed everything, she fumbles over her words, on sunday there was one point where she repeated the same phrase about four or five times after a guest got a question right, she failed to properly introduce the item she did out side with Steph She was absolutely atrocious. If I was her I'd be rehearsing my ass off and I dont think she is. She strikes me as unprofessional and seems to think she can wing it, which she cant. She's got to go. For the integrity of the programme. They've got to replace her.
