Why she might be annoying:

    When asked what her most embarrassing moment was, she answered: 'I don’t get embarrassed.'
    She elaborated by saying that she once went to see a thriller at a movie theater and was laughing so loudly that the couple behind them mistakenly thought that she was on drugs.
    She said of her appearance: ‘There’s this one wrinkle line just above my nose that I’m not keen on because it looks a bit frowny, but I’m happy with the other ones.’
    She's married to a man named Simon (and, as such, has to constantly go 'no, not THAT Simon!').

Why she might not be annoying:

    Her maxim is: ‘Don’t let perfection be the enemy of the good.’
