I know he's not flavour of the month on here. But Matthew Wright and his wife are expecting a baby after a long IVF slog. And I miss the Wright Stuff.

I always thought he came across as pretty anti-children

I think it was a defence mechanism.

Who is he and why isn’t he flavour of the month?

DioneTheDiabolist · 10/09/2018 19:12

He presented The Wright Stuff for 18 years on CH5. A discussion prog.
The poor man was desperate for a child.

Matthew Wright is a breeder!?!? Shock

Ah that’s nice, I do miss him of a morning.

RebootYourEngine · 10/09/2018 19:16

I smiled when i read this. I am happy for them.

I think the 'breeder' stuff was just an act.

Ah that’s nice, I do miss him of a morning. I do too. He's very annoying but his show was so entertaining. I was a bit worried when he said his wife fell and broke her teeth. Shock

Well that's nice to hear anyways, I used to enjoy his morning show

DioneTheDiabolist · 10/09/2018 19:20

I'm only on MN because he never shut up about it.Grin

GeorgieTheGorgeousGoat · 10/09/2018 19:22

He always had to present the ‘devil’s advocate’ side of arguments.

Completely delighted for them both. I wonder if this contributed to his decision to leave TWS.

EwItsAHooman · 10/09/2018 19:29

I think he's a bit of a twat and has some fairly twattish opinions although I'm not sure how much of that is his work persona and how much is actually him but good for him and his wife! Infertility is shitty and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Mumberjack · 10/09/2018 19:40

I’m so pleased for them, and for anyone who has successful IVF treatment. Eight years he’d said - jeezo.

papayasareyum · 10/09/2018 19:42

yay to them! I miss the Wright Stuff and hope he’s not off telly forever. He can find out what life’s like as a breeder Grin

ShalomJackie · 10/09/2018 19:43

And she had had a previous ectopic, and lost 2 IVF attempts that lead to pregnancy but miscarried at 12 weeks. I am pleased for thm both.

I like him!

flapjackfairy · 10/09/2018 19:45

Aw thats lovely. Some good news !

NoelHeadbands · 10/09/2018 19:46

It’s lovely news, congratulations to them both.

Singlenotsingle · 10/09/2018 19:47

I prefer Jeremy Vine.

Upsy1981 · 10/09/2018 19:47

He's doing a new show on Talk Radio apparently, if anyone is missing him!

IHaveBrilloHair · 10/09/2018 19:50

Oh, how lovely, I've always liked him.

YouCantBeSirius · 10/09/2018 19:55

Oh this is lovely news. I always assumed the anti children breeder stuff was a defence thing.

GaraMedouar · 10/09/2018 19:57

That is lovely news ☺

SapphireSeptember · 10/09/2018 20:04

Aww, that's lovely! Smile I'm so pleased for them both.

carnitine · 10/09/2018 20:06

That is wonderful ! I miss him on the Wright Stuff !

JungWan · 10/09/2018 20:08

I liked him. I know he wasn't popular on here but I liked him.

He's still alive I know.
