Thank god we have wonderful women like her on TV who will willingly stand up for basic human rights and fight for gay people! What a lovely woman

A damehood is just around the corner for her incredible work for advocating equal rights That, a baby on its way and several lucrative prime time presenting jobs - couldn't be better for her eh?

[Samm]

A truly kind hearted human

[Mystic Mock]

Her job is suppose to be a TV Presenter on BB, not a gay rights activist, she can do that in her spare time but not on a Reality TV Show.

And besides she would've been told about everything about Winston so her pretending to be in shock isn't working for me.

Exactly, she should have walked away from her job in disgust once his VT aired, principals before cash ..hardly

I would rather she was an impartial interviewer and presenter. I dont care for her supporting any bandwagon or "cause" because she happens to agree or disagree with it.

She was embarrassing tbh. You could see she lost control of her emotions. A point for Winston despite his crap views.

[reece(:]

Truly a TV icon!

Part of Emma's job is to interview housemates once they get evicted from the Big Brother house and when Winston got evicted she had to talk to him about his views on Gay people, as if she hadn't then she would be told off by the producers of the show and she would have been brandished a homophobe her self for failing to mention it. Also if she had been soft on him, then again she would have been targeted, so really she had no choice!

I wouldn't say, 'Bless Mrs. Emma Willis'. What I would say to her is that she did her job and look forward to the nice wage packet that you are going to get at the end of the show and get ready for the next series. I think she is good and I like her better than Davina personally.

Well said, Mock

I was applauding her. It could be that her pregnancy hormones made her more emotional than usual but maybe not.
She seemed genuinely upset and wound up.

I used to love Emma, but after this car crash interview, I cant see her in the same light. On the voice tonight I couldn't warm to her. That's sad because I really used to love her a lot. I just now view her as a puppet for hire.

it wasnt what she did; its how she did it. She came across unprofessional, rude and conducted herself terribly.. Go watch her and compare her to Rylan who touched the same issues but did so while coming across unbiased (even though he obviously opposed) Winston. Emma got on a soapbox and took the opportunity to have it be about her own personal views like she was on a crusade. That wasnt the time for that. If she wanted to share her opinions, she should have done so when she was interviewed, not when she is the interviewer

She didn't get upset or wound up when interviewing a real homophobe like Jim Davidson.

What a fantastic point.

I loathe Jim Davidson. If he had said something homophobic just prior to her interviewing him maybe she would have.

Winston didn't say it just prior. It was during the general election.

You can't pick and choose.

What Winston said was a general opinion about adoption based on his religious and political views. What jim Davidson did was call Emma's friend and colleague a "shirtlifter" and a "****."

Yet Emma was only furious with Winston. Odd that.

Winston's homophobic remarks were the reason he was voted out by the majority of the HM's. So it was a hot topic when he was being interviewed.
The dick Davidson's remarks were not on the radar at all during his interview and bringing them up would have been irrelevant.

yes, but it was the producers that made it a topic, hence their manufacturing of the whole self righteous outrage. That's what the problem is.

He made his views clear enough in his own VT. I assume therefore he wanted us to know how he felt. He could have taken the opportunity when the topic came up to explain how he felt in a way that wouldn't cause hurt to many but instead he expressed his opinions in an offensive way and made further homophobic remarks for example when speaking to Rylan - "you're a great presenter despite being gay" etc. He alone is responsible for what comes out of his mouth. The producers can bring up issues, but it is up to the celebs how they deal with it. Many in the past have turned things around in their favour when things they would rather not have mentioned have been brought up during tasks.
