Alexa Chung says the US 'doesn't get her'

Alexa Chung has been lamenting the loss of her American MTV show, It's on with Alexa Chung, and blames it's failure to take off on US audiences not "getting" her.

The T4 presenter basically says that she had too much personality and individual style for a woman host in America, saying, "They don't have the tone that T4 has anywhere in American TV. If you're a girl and you're my age, you're on a shiny night-time show and you've got your boobs hoiked up, and you're not really giving opinions. You're merely a conduit."

For example, she explained, "Sometimes I'd be in the middle of interviewing [a celebrity] and I'd aim to have a joke and be irreverent, and then it would transpire that they weren't getting it and I had to switch back and do a straight interview."

And it's not just our TV Alexa's been missing - she even misses the London paps too.

"In New York they do it on a long lens. In England, because I know some of them, they'll take the p**s out of me and they're quite funny", she admitted.
