But I can see a similar abhorrent campaign leveled at Cerrie Burnell from CBBC. Some of the comments made by the public were very, very disturbing and bordering on the criminal. I cannot understand some people's attitudes to this sort of thing. I wonder if they were ever to be in this situation, that they would want to treated in such a way?

It's those attitudes we have to change. It won't be a quick process, but hopefully this (and featuring other presenters who don't quite fit in with our ideas of acceptable TV presenters) will help.
I have to admit, I may have sounded a little anti-five in my previous reply in this thread. That wasn't the intention. The intention was to highlight the fact that the media in general (not five specifically) has been putting ever more "pretty" people on our screens..
I think the fact the five is doing this is good. OK, so it's only for a week, but it's a start. Maybe they are just trying to avoid the problems the BBC had.
