Well done, Eamonn!

He’s had a lot to say this morning, probably things, he, and many others, have wanted to say for a long time, very interesting. He and Ruth seem to be v well
liked and respected in the industry and are good, decent people.
It seems karma is working it’s magic, which is so rare with workplace bullies and arseholes, I’m so here for it. May the decent people prevail!

Bloody hell, has Eamonn forgotten that his wife still works for ITV? He's so keen to put the boot into P&H that he's not bothering to think about how things might be for Ruth going into work this week!

Id love to see his phone messages though.

Dawn Neesom was very interesting. It's so funny watching tv shows try to tackle this subject without mentioning the elephant in the room

I wouldn't say most of us are praising him, just enjoying the schadenfreude.

EH always struck me as a pompous twat, but I can enjoy him having a go as the smarmy nonce who's used superinjunctions to hide who he is.

You don't have to have an affair with a young boy to be a bad person.

It depends how you define bad. And whether you’ve actually met the person.

Nobody ever just leaves This Morning - there's always a shit load of controversy surrounding every departure.

Cantstaystuckforever · 22/05/2023 11:18

Don't like Schofield either, but praising Eamonn Holmes just highlights how the bar is on the floor for male TV presenters.

JulieHoney · 22/05/2023 11:17

Thank you @VikingLady , @TheFairyCaravan @tuvamoodyson @AbreathofFrenchair for attempting to set me straight.

I still had to Google because yes, I know he was the Not Drink Driving One, I didn't watch Byker Grove and I couldn't picture their heights.

He's the one who looks like a friendly wee lad, not the one with the big forehead.

Cantstaystuckforever · 22/05/2023 11:17

Eamonn's repeatedly shown his misogynism through what he's said and how he's acted to others, was painfully smug on Gogglebox, and anyone who'd agree to be on GB News is not one of the 'nice' ones.

Eamonn really strikes me as an honest bloke who does not want to be two-faced. He didn't pretend to like the dreadful Anthea Turner either

Not everyone's style to be that open with one's opinions but fair play to him

I hear he can be a bit grumpy but is always reasonable, fair and easy to work with as in you know what you're getting. No back-stabbing.

What's wrong with Anthea lol

I have to laugh at the fact that Eamonn Holmes is being held up as some paragon on integrity here.

He’s a thoroughly unpleasant and disagreeable arsehole.

Well he is a saint compared to that Schofield, child grooming, peado protecting bollox.

Eamonn may be unpleasant but he is none of the above.....

@penniesmakeshillingsandshillingsmakepounds Exactly! I think many here defending P & H and saying how awful
Eamonn is will be shocked

I haven't read the entire thread but a quick scroll through and I can't see anyone defending P & H

Surely it's safe and easy for him to be saying all this now? I'd agree with you applauding him if he was saying it a couple of months ago!

Would you trust him and Ruth or Phillip..... too easy!

on that clip they even said who watched it;
and quoted:

retired
off sick - whenever i was off sick, i would watch homes under the hammer, and that heirs programme
unemployed
students - for a start i cant think of any students that i know of who would watch that.

eamon holmes is awful,

GalileoHumpkins · 22/05/2023 11:09

Eamonn Holmes is a cesspit of a human being.

Treesandsheepeverywhere · 22/05/2023 11:07

Mirabai · 22/05/2023 10:56

It is. And it’s quite ridiculous. Women have to work with cunts the world over. If we all left our jobs to avoid working with arseholes half of us would be unemployed. Unless you maintain that HW too has had an affair with an underage person there is no equivalence.

I'm surprised to hear that. Eamonn seems pretty unpleasant and Ruth a well-meaning divvy.

Good for Eamonn. People should be shouting from the rooftops about this disgusting nonce protector and his simpering, too sweet to be wholesome sidekick.

She should she slung out with him.

YerArseInParsley · 22/05/2023 11:03

Favoured over Phil?

Holly hasn't done anything wrong.

PicturesOfDogs · 22/05/2023 11:02

AFishCalledKeith · 22/05/2023 10:57

The sheer amount of press attention this is getting is convincing me there is much to come out about Scof.

Why else is it getting the headlines if it's not really because there is much more to be said - as soon as they are allowed to?

Dawn Neesom in the clip basically said this, there’s a lot more to come out we all know this.

Interesting someone said an injunction is due to run out soon.

ReformedWaywardTeen · 22/05/2023 11:01

I was gutted then they left This morning on Fridays. I've always felt This Morning is very much a program crying out for an actual couple to present. It worked well with Richard and Judy for years as they sparked off each other. Its why him on GMB alone doesn't work, he's just a pompous arse. Whereas with Judy it was banter and she would give him what for.

I always found Holly and Phil fake. All that OTT laughing over double entendres. He's just smug (or was, probably down to how he was seen as Golden boy until Holly gained more popularity) and there's something unlikeable about her.

I would love it if Eamon and Ruth came back but can't see it.
I loathe Alison on Fridays, she's OK for OBs that are short but she can't carry a show.
Her goodbye felt so false this morning.

CherryCokeFanatic · 22/05/2023 10:54

Not defending the awful Phil and Holly but Eamonn is a nasty bigoted right winger himself so take what he says with a pinch of salt. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone and all that

Yep. He’s a total arsehole.
