Photo

In the picture she looks ready to pounce on someone and suck their blood. There must be some less disturbing photos - I almost choked on my Cornflakes. It is a health risk.

A girl's gotta eat. --Bonalaw 09:23, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yea, not a flattering photo of her. --Pongles 10:35, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

but she is beautiful.

This is the picture that needs to be used

This picture is nice, but I hope it doesn't put her in danger from Islamic fundamentalists. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.109.248.104 (talk) 21:47, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's a good, sexy photo - but it's not really representative of who she is, is it ? She doesn't normally appear like that on Blue Peter ? -- Beardo 15:18, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speaking of sexy photos, does anyone have a view of the FHM appearance recently? 149.254.217.49 (talk) 08:23, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Huq's Parents in 1460s

"Huq's (pronounced Huuk) parents moved to England from Kentucky in the 1460s," Surely this can't be right?

Huq is NOT Bengali, she is British of Bengali heritage. I have made this correction several times but it keeps reverting. To say she is Bengali is both factually wrong and a racist assumption. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.125.209.126 (talk) 19:29, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Depends if you mean ethnically or nationally. Ethan Duffy (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 02:43, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It never seems to apply to white people though does it? Ethnic Dutch? Norwegian? Asians though............ why is that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.125.17.222 (talk) 20:20, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good question, but it's not a question for here - please see the talk page guidelines. _Talk Islander 20:23, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Richard Bacon section

Is that section really needed? Perhaps a small mention elsewhere in the article, maybe a section titled private life could be added. But unless I've missed something major the Richard Bacon relationship is not one of the most significant stages of her life/career to warrant it's own section like that, especially wen most of the information included doesn't really need mentioning is as much depth here as it currently is. I'm not changing it yet as I want to see what other people think first. But I will potentially change it after others have been able to say anything to stop me :) Evil Eye 19:27, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Richard Bacon, again

I've removed the following:

In August 2006, former Blue Peter co-presenter Richard Bacon announced that his relationship with Huq was over.

as uncited. Again, do we really need this level of detail about her private life here? -- The Anome 14:20, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It shouldn't have it's own seperate section but it has a place in there somewhere, both have been quite open about the fact that they were an item and both are quite well known in the media and he did announce it very publicly.--Lord of the Isles 17:43, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Notability??

I am removing the notability tag from this article. I am assuming good faith and that it was tagged in error. Devious Viper 13:46, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Underpaid

I think there should be mention of the time when Konnie discovered she was being paid less than all her co-hosts and threatened to walk out. However, can't find any citation for this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ozzy789 (talk • contribs) 10:06, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Degree

I thought she got a first! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.129.127.86 (talk) 01:32, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Torch stuff

I removed the section on the olympic torch thing cause it wasn't sourced, and WP:BLP is pretty clear on this. If anybody wants to add it back, sources can be found here: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article3688458.ece http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7332942.stm Lampman ^{Talk to me!} 13:50, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
