Holly Willoughby…on Dancing on ice. For some reason I thought she wouldn’t be coming back, she seems a little different

BobnLen · 14/01/2024 21:59

Being not liked by people on X and the DM is par for the course so nothing to see there.

These comments are quite tame compared to Twitter and the Daily Mail comment section since it was announced she was coming back

She is definitely not liked by many by the way those comments are going

Show quote history

Both of those forums are full of hate for everyone, particularly women. She shouldn't take it personally.

But why didn’t This morning mention her at all, they discussed DOI at length last week?

I don't know much about her, but presumably her job is a presenter, so presumably she'll pop up on various programs?
I don't get the issue, she's doing what she studied / trained to do. Good on her for getting the job, I'd imagine it's extremely competitive.

It's envy. Women's are socialised to believe other women are their competition and that more attractive women are worth more as people. Holly Willoughby is very attractive. We are not socialised to lift other women up, especially if we perceive them as better than us.

It's misogyny. Everything is women's fault. So it may have been phil schofield who did something inappropriate, but as the first rule of misogyny states it must be a woman's fault so Holly gets the kicking.

And it's also that there are just some nasty small minded people who can only feel good when they're having a go at someone else.

I don't watch dancing on ice or this morning but I'd have thought after what she went through, normal people would be sympathetic. But I foolishly forgot she was a woman in the public eye so actually only deserves ridicule about every aspect of her appearance, her personality and her life.

Shame on the misogynists.

There must be other presenters who could do this. I’m sure she has earned enough she can’t be desperate for money. Must need the limelight.

What a ridiculous comment. You could say that about lots of people! Why do Hollywood actors keep starring in more films? I imagine they want to and enjoy it.

cant stand either of them wont be watching-shes fake and hes annoying

I can't remember SM being that bad when he filled in before, it was like he was trying too hard, Holly was fine though and seemed quite relaxed.

No pressure on him as a standin. Huge pressure tonight as the permanent replacement.

I thought Holly was "fine" as usual, no more no less. She always does a competent job of presenting and stands still looking amazing in a succession of fabulous frocks.

After everything she’s been through in her shoes I would take a step back focus on having a more private family life and let the husband be the main bread winner. Why doesn't the husband insist on that? For her own well-being. If he’s half way decent. Don’t know why but I’ve always had a bit of suspicion she is coerced I don’t know why though.

What have I just read?

You're seriously suggesting her husbands insists she's not allowed to go to work?

She's had 3 months off with her family and Dancing On Ice is not a daily show, unlike This Morning was.

Give the woman some credit for knowing her own self.

What an awful comment, you’ve no idea why she chose to stay, if indeed he did cheat

is it envy, is that why people make these horrible comments.?

So, WHY did she stay? Didn't have anywhere to go? Not a good role model for young women

3peassuit · 14/01/2024 21:44

She’s been through an horrific time. I hope working will help her recover.

I don't watch presenter type programmes. But can see that they carry a programme because people like them. That's a big responsibility.

@Newgreendress what a horrible comment. Would you say that to a colleague who chose to stay and try to work things out? Just because she's in the public eye doesn't mean she has to conform to your sense of propriety

CoolShoeshine · 14/01/2024 21:32

I caught a bit of it and thought she looked fantastic considering all that she’s been through. She’s a good presenter for the type of programme.

You could say they about any presenter that they’ve earned enough and should allow someone else a chance - why single Holly out?

BobnLen · 14/01/2024 21:23

She only left TM, she didn't say she wasn't going to work at all, she is only in her early 40s, she probably doesn't want to give up work yet.
