I hope she's well, and just enjoying a break - although I gave up watching Ideal World years ago, I've always liked Loen's presenting style - she's friendly, chirpy and informative.
I like Loen too, she's a saleswoman for sure but likable and often irreverent which (apart from Rachel) is scarce among the Ghoulish Stooges on Ideal World now.
I fear she won't be long for the channel though unless she turns into a Bid Style Goon :mysmilie_59:
Agree. Loen does have a friendlier, more approachable and generally less manic style than her colleagues, particularly the ex-Bid throwouts. She can be a bit of a laugh too, definitely seems not to take herself too seriously. How she survives surrounded by the other dross, I don't know.
I gave up on IW before the Bid up invasion, when they moved the few watchable presenters to the craft channel, I just can't watch Dennice the drone, nice but doolally Hayley, manic Joanne, I did like Loen at first, then she got like all she ever seem to talk about was Oban / Andy what she had bought her Mother... where they were going on holiday what they were having for dinner/tea, she made her presenting time like 'life with the love's'...no ta Loen... not interested.
She's cool.
There's no self important (but laughably lacking in self awareness) lectures as you get from bores like Nan Nanty Nan, Poo Poo and GOLLUM.
Those three are about as likable as Verrucas :mysmilie_59:
:mysmilie_17: Right! Personally, I'd much prefer the verruca - at least you can get rid of it! I think the 3 you've mentioned came in a "buy one, get two free" deal from the Carp Presenters Agency.
