"It's my first presenting role so I'll be nervous, but it's going to be great fun. I can't wait to sample the food and meet the celebrities. Hopefully I can inject some of my own glamour"
About this Quote
Nervousness is the alibi; glamour is the pitch. Nicole Appleton frames her first presenting gig with a carefully balanced mix of humility and flirtation, the kind of self-aware enthusiasm that plays well in entertainment culture: she admits she is new to the role, but immediately redirects the spotlight onto pleasure, access, and vibe. The line reads like a press-friendly confessional, but its real function is brand management.
The details she chooses are telling. She doesn’t lead with craft, preparation, or the “honor” of the platform; she leads with food and celebrities. That’s not shallowness so much as an honest map of what presenting represents in late-90s/early-2000s pop ecosystems: TV hosting as social currency, a backstage pass recast as a job. By naming the perks out loud, she collapses the usual PR distance and signals that she’s in on the game. It’s not “I belong here because I’m an expert,” it’s “I belong here because I can add sparkle.”
“Hopefully I can inject some of my own glamour” is the key phrase: glamour is treated like a transferable substance, a value-add she carries with her. The “hopefully” softens the ambition into something likable, but the intent is assertive. She’s auditioning in public for a broader career lane - not just singer, but personality - and she’s doing it with a wink, implying that the event could use her energy as much as she could use its status.
