The One Show: Fashion flops or not?

Now that all the fuss has died down a bit, I thought I’d throw my two penny's worth in and give my opinion on the new look ‘One Show’.

Considering I never watched it before Bleakely and Chiles defected to ITV, I’ve got nothing to compare Jason Manford and some Welsh lass called Alex Jones to.

Critics pretty much mauled their appearance on Monday night, with the Daily Mail’s columnist, Amanda Platell slamming the pair for having no chemistry.

Oh, but how opinions have changed two days on now that the viewing figures have been announced. Viewers tuned in in droves to see the pair make their debut and now the Manford and Jones combo has been hailed a massive success. How very fickle.

Anyway, all I’m bothered about is how Alex is faring in the fashion stakes considering she's been likened to a carbon copy of Christine.

Well, she’s pleasant enough with shiny hair and a generous smile, but as for her style? Well, I didn’t like her outfit on Monday night at all- it seemed a bit retro and not cutting edge enough in my view, while Manford’s tomato/burgundy coloured shirt was just plain boring.

As for last night’s offering, well I think they're improving! Alex's pinky plum look was much more flattering, but Jason still has a lot to learn about fashion.

His Purple oddly creased shirt was a big no-no in my eyes- bring him out of the style doldrums and give the man a makeover! He's got all the assets, he just needs to know how to use them.
