On QVC Facebook someone, yesterday mentioned he was on IW presenting. A bit later in the day, I flicked over and there he was doing a show about a garden hose.

Can’t stand Julian Ballantine his voice gets on my nerves especially when he started trying to speak like the Queen when he is in fact a northerner and should stick to his natural accent.
Not a nice guy at all as far as I'm concerned. Read up on his failed ventures launching his own channels, and how people claim that when those channels went bust and they were left out of pocket, JB goes into hiding and doesn't ever make a statement about what happened, if customers will get either their goods or refunds.
The last channel he owned went bust, and on their Facebook page people were asking for him to acknowledge what was happening and getting rather annoyed that he simply disappeared. Then the Facebook page was swiftly taken down so that they had no place to voice their concerns about orders they had placed. Not good.
Don't be fooled by him trying to be a chirpy chappy. And I agree about his voice/accent....always banging on about being a Salford lad, yet trying to talk "like the queen" it sounds so fake.
I'm not fooled easy (or at all) and don't suffer them either, I don't know him or love but as far as presenters go, he's the one I can listen to and watch without immediately reahing for the remote, also I've got to say I've never once heard him trying to talk posh, and as for failed ventures, don't know about that either but like I say, presenting, only presenting......but as with everything, each to their own. :mysmilie_3:
Poor Julian's been scraping the bottom of the barrel since leaving QVC. He used to own a Ferrari. I wonder if he still does? I'm sure his sister or someone has a beauty salon in the Maida Vale area. Might have to pay a visit and see what I can find out.
Julian's been on IW for a little while. He was selling face serums a while back and they sold out. I always liked his presenting and he was quite personable on IW. He clearly needs a job and I for one would not hold that against him. He doesn't shout and that make him very watchable compared with most other presenters. Sally Jacks should have her vocal chords tuned down or cut out. Unbelievable screeching noise every time she opens her mouth.

Purely based on presenting style I can’t help but think that Julian has to be an improvement on any of the current stooges on Ideal World.
It’s excruciating, toe curlingly trashy. I sometimes think they behave like banshees to get people to switch off and use the website instead. Either that or the hysteria is deliberate to try to disguise the tripe that’s often being said.
Of course QVC has such moments too, albeit not quite as regularly. Then again, I reckon Chloe Everton wouldn’t look out of place on Ideal World.
I cannot watch her! :mysmilie_59:
