beverley turner rant on Channel 5 (merged)

bastinscully · 7 Jul 2004, 10:09 (Ref:1028987)

just channel hopping before going out this morning, and I saw beverly turner on channel 5`s "The Wright Stuff" in a segment called Women in sport. She was Slating Formula One big time saying comments like "I was talking to two guys from Mclaren last year, They said there would be no women in Formula One because their not pretty enough"!!! plus when one caller said she thought all of the F1 Guys really good looking she snapped back "No their not,they ugly and all under 5`6". opps I guess she`s still bitter for being sacked from ITV, But why have a go at F1 and not ITV? The programme has Vicki-Butler Henderson on tomorrow. Should have had her on today she know a hell of a lot more than Turner!!

She's trying to push her 'book' so want's to create plenty of noise, which may shift a few more copies in the short, term but unlikely to be a good 'career move' long term.

Kicking-back · 7 Jul 2004, 11:06 (Ref:1029060)

I don't think Beverley needs to be too worried about career moves.

She always makes money from modelling and corporate work - and sexists may note she has a rich husband!

Lets not give her the pleasure of free publicity and leave this thread to die.

Down F0rce · 7 Jul 2004, 11:21 (Ref:1029078)

I didnt even notice she was gone.

bastinscully · 7 Jul 2004, 11:23 (Ref:1029080)

should have had Vicki-bulter on there to smack her down!!

Judit Forro, Clare Fox, Kirsten Kolby, Clare Redgrave.

MikeM · 7 Jul 2004, 14:11 (Ref:1029244)

Amanda Whittaker? Very under rated

Dan Fielden · 7 Jul 2004, 14:20 (Ref:1029254)

Please Please let us not forget Simone Abdullnor (sp??)

Andrew Hornsey · 7 Jul 2004, 15:37 (Ref:1029335)

What about Ralf - he is a bit of an old woman! :-)

Emma B · 7 Jul 2004, 15:57 (Ref:1029353)

What about Fanny Duchateau and Barbara Armstrong??. There's always Giovanna Amati (Brabham F1 driver in the early 90's). That's enough anorak for one day. EB

Remember also there is Susie Soddart, who is racing in the British FRenult championship this year and mark my words that girl is going places.

jiggly_puff · 7 Jul 2004, 20:12 (Ref:1029572)

Ditto. I had to remind myself who she was...

She was pants anyway.

mark_l · 8 Jul 2004, 05:07 (Ref:1029852)

She was pregnant if I remember rightly, so she would claim to being on a maternity break.

She probably jumped before she was pushed, although her book, according to reviews, does seem to be rather bitter. She also acknowledges none of the ITV crew in her book.

stoned pony · 8 Jul 2004, 06:49 (Ref:1029876)

Settle, guys. The truth is their are no good-looking Pommy sorts to be found anyway. Well, maybe Liz Hurley but would you let her drive your car?

RWC · 8 Jul 2004, 09:18 (Ref:1029954)

So a grumpy journalist is having a go at cr*p f1
The least she could do is stick to what's relevant.There's plenty of real stuff to complain about in f1!!LOL

Saw Bev on C5 show, her new hairdo doesn't suit her, she used to be quite attractive.

jiggly_puff · 8 Jul 2004, 15:01 (Ref:1030343)

she has written so many articles now in various routes of press rehashing the same old stories........being a women who would love to work in f1 myself, at first i found it interesting now im just bored with hearing it! if women hate it that much then get out and stop being bitter thats the way it is. END OF STORY BEVERLY!

Fuzzyfelt · 8 Jul 2004, 15:38 (Ref:1030371)

If BT wanted to be taken seriously she should have acted it instead of poncing around at Black Tie dinners giving us an 'insight' into the Lifestyles behind the sport. I don't care what the rich and privilaged of motorsport wear.

You can still drown in shallowness.

They're already holding the signage boards for the drivers.

That's enough for me, no need putting them in the cars.
