United Kingdom5 months ago I mean I like this well enough but I wish the presenter would stop with the hyperbole and exaggeration about how everything gets her in the feels. I had to turn the Dine and Dash episode off due to her "think of the kiddies" pearl clutching, its just not required, stop it.
