Holly doesn't really have a lot of personality imo, she's like a more extreme version of Tess Daly from SCD where they come across as nice women, but they're only really hired for their looks whilst Claudia/Philip/now Dec does all of the jokes/main elements of their shows such as interviewing the contestants and telling you what's gonna be coming up in the next segment.

As I've said I have nothing personal against Holly (nor Tess for that matter) but I can understand why some people would be critical of Holly's presenting skills as it's non-existent.

Yeah and i wish gender would stop getting mentioned , I'm a woman myself and i thought Holly WASN'T the best choice for Dec's co presenter and it's that simple .

Plus when you get a comedy duo that's been working together for years!!! , it's hard to copy or replace that kind of chemistry.

I would of felt the same way if Ant & Dec were women and if Ant still got replaced by the wrong person .

Yes Holly is gelling more with Dec now and she's trying the banter , but she still seems a bit out of place especially at trials .

I think you're confused. Gender is only mentioned on the grounds that Dec specifically wanted to work with a woman so as not to feel like Ant was getting a replacement. Not that she's above criticism because she's a woman.

(Although there is some validity to Ashley's comment about holding men and women to the same standards).

Which is what they're not trying to do. She's merely company for Dec whilst Ant isn't working. Literally all it is.
