During a recent appearance in The One ShowVisage, who is known for harsh criticism on the judging panel, asked if she really got worse over the years.
“I am a mother, of course I got worse over the years,” she joked.
“I judge what is necessary, what is appropriate for the situation. If they are outraged, or they are not learning, or they are belligerent, I get a little harder. If they understand and are open, then I am kinder. I am criticizing at the moment. “
