The broadcasting legends provided a perfect dose of entertainment and brought the glamour and glitz of the Oscars to UK viewers for the first time in almost two decades.
However, many criticized their performance, calling them ‘cringe-worthy‘ and ‘piggybacking on American presenters.’
Moreover, everyone had the same question: “What’s the deal with Ross King’s face? Did he perform plastic surgery, or is it just shiny makeup?”

Another Question Everyone Had Was, ‘Is Ross King Related To Jonathan Ross?’
Since both the presenters have “Ross” in their names, the audience has often speculated they may be related.
Are They Brothers?
A big no! The talented broadcasters are not blood-related; they happen to be in the same business and share the same field of interest.
For King, his family is the most prized possession.
He was raised by his parents, David and Isabel, along with his sister, Elaine, his hero, who he describes as indescribable.
“She’s simply the best”
Elaine resides in Glasgow with her husband, Jim, and two children.
Although King doesn’t have a brother, Jonathan has four: Miles, Simon, Paul, and Adam Ross, and a sister, Liza.
Television Is A Family Business For The Ross Siblings
Since their mother, Martha, was a British actress and radio presenter, her interest and spark for the stage were transferred to all of her kids.
All of them started young, acting as children, mainly in commercials. Now, all are successful, building their own empires.
