Should Holly go too?

After all the recent controversy (and everything that has happened since 3 years ago) should she go too?

She lost any ounce of respect (not much) that I might have had for her when she covered her face to supposedly pay her respects to the late Queen. Whether or not you agree with monarchy, show some respect and show your face!

I think she should go, her career is tainted from riding on the coat tails of a man who has treated people badly. She chose her side, she should go down with him!

Harringtonperle · 22/05/2023 13:14

Holly's an arse. She must have known about the runner unless she's totally stupid and she's dropped Phil as soon as she's found out the world is about the find out nasty things about him. Also, regarding the queue jumping, PS and HW aren't bloody journalists! They're presenters and had no right IMO. Alice Beer is a journalist, so not a fair comparison

I have literally no idea. There are all these rumours. How much is true and who knew what and what else there is to uncover is all unknown.

The whole thing is incredibly annoying. The media is talking about it all constantly but they can’t say what they want to say on the subject so it looks like he’s been sacked for really no good reason. It all needs to be in the public domain.

Littleworkaholic · 22/05/2023 12:59

On what grounds do you feel she should be fired op? Some gossip you read on line? Really? You think folks should get fired for gossip?

Hmmph · 22/05/2023 12:58

I have long suspected the Queuegate was not actually about The Queue, but because the press know other things and can't write about those other things, so used it as an excuse to whip up some hated- an attack by the side door.

I think all the stories over the last few years are connected.

Dillydollydingdong · 22/05/2023 12:57

Yes she should go. What did PS actually do wrong apart from not tell her about his paedo brother? We're told she told the bosses "either he go, or I do". So forced him out of his job. She can't recover after this, she's shown herself for what she really is.

@Whowhatwherewhenwhy1 In what way, how do you know?

Thesearmsofmine · 22/05/2023 12:44

Yeah she does need to move on.

Tbh I think This Morning had its day a long time ago and ITV should shake things up.

Whowhatwherewhenwhy1 · 22/05/2023 12:42

Holly is not the personality or character she portrays on screen.

Inkanta · 22/05/2023 11:27

Yes I think Schofield is in victim/blame mode and could take it out on Holly - telling tales on her.

Bluebells1970 · 22/05/2023 10:56

The Tattle thread on her is very interesting reading. She's supposed to be a fan of the "snow" sniff sniff, a heavy drinker and has had a few affairs (someone from MIC and Mr No Likey No Lighty).

All rumour, of course, but I don't think she's anywhere near as squeaky clean as her PR markets her to be. She must be bricking it about stuff coming out about her if PS is as angry as he appears to be...

@Bluebells1970 What are the rumours saying?

Bluebells1970 · 22/05/2023 10:36

The rumours about HW online are only slightly less savoury than those about PS.

They both deserve to go. But her H appears to have a lot of influence so I'll doubt she's going anywhere.

Inkanta · 22/05/2023 10:22

I think she might need to move on and make a fresh start somewhere else. I think she's a good presenter. It might not be an easy ride for her staying in this job.

YoucancallmeKAREN · 22/05/2023 09:38

Holly is just another Amanda Holden, a talentless, irritating cling on. She is another that will have to be pushed.

lollipoprainbow · 22/05/2023 09:00

Oh yes and the cringeworthy coming out of Phil when she said she would be by his side forever. Ha !

lollipoprainbow · 22/05/2023 08:59

She threw him under the bus then has the two faced audacity to release a statement saying she'll miss him on the couch. She's so fake and insincere it's unbelievable. I can see right through her cutesy pie act.

QueenoftheNimbleFlyingCat · 22/05/2023 08:33

Why are we blaming Holly for the mistakes of a man? Why would she know about the rubber, I assume at the time she thought he was happily married as they all holidayed together. Why would she suspect he was grooming the runner - maybe she suspected he was gay and thought he was too flirty but some of my friends have had affairs and I only knew afterwards.

I truly believe the reason they have fallen out is because she found out he knew about his brother and he was around her children. I would be furious if that happened to me.

I realise I have made massive assumptions but they are believable and I don't think she should be punished for being friends with someone.

Laiste · 22/05/2023 08:01

I can't stand her or him and never watch day time telly.

However i've been following the story and I think if she goes it will make her look implicated in his wrongdoings.

It’s only on mumsnet that there’s this bizarre hatred of Holly W.
Is it jealousy? I don’t get it??
If the show didn’t pull in the viewings then I’m sure itv would not be slow to cut her loose, but it obviously does.

She's smug, insincere and completely irritating. Why are we always deemed to be jealous if we don't like someone?!

Shimmeringshadow · 21/05/2023 09:41

I’m not keen on Holly or Phil. I don’t like the way she has dealt with his situation though. I think the best thing for the show would be fresh presenters, not even smug Holly, so viewers can start to enjoy the show again.

Unicorn2022 · 21/05/2023 01:34

I think she should go but only because it would be nice to give someone else a chance on the sofa, not because she's done anything wrong.

HeddaGarbled · 21/05/2023 01:30

Give some people a taste of blood 🤷‍♀️

FangedFrisbee · 21/05/2023 01:24

Yes
