I thought they were doing the holiday slots on This morning. I was looking forward to watching them on my week off. I love dermot and Alison but they are so painful on this show!

@normalsaline

Who cares
Erm I think the OP does, as she started the thread? If you don’t have any interest in it you can scroll by, it’s really easy!

Eamon is ill isn't he? Been in hospital recently

lollipoprainbow · 14/04/2021 12:03

I wondered this too ! I only watch when they are in and I'm very disappointed to see they aren't on this week, we were told they would be presenting in the holidays, are they only allowed to do one week now?!

Thought they were being phased out as they're not very popular also he's made a fair few sexist comments.

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 14/04/2021 12:28

Having not learnt anything from his past sexist remarks, I understand that Uncle Nobby, I mean Eamon, was in the doo doo again last week(?) for suggesting the Irish woman chef could take to selling nudies on the internet if it all went pear shaped Hmm the bloke's just a ticking bomb really. Ruth seems really nice, but he talks over her, and it's uncomfortable watching. I wouldn't be at all suprised if they're, or at least him, are being phased out.

Plumtree391 · 14/04/2021 12:42

I like them, they are a lovely couple but I generally don't have the TV on during the day (tho' have at the moment), so not noticed their absence.

They could be on holiday now restrictions have lifted.

lollipoprainbow · 14/04/2021 12:42

@SpongeBobJudgeyPants despite said chef not appearing to mind much and revelling in the attention she got ? Hmm

Meltinthemiddle · 14/04/2021 13:09

I find him hilarious of I'm honest depends on your sense of humour 😬. I love his relationship with Ruth and their banter. They just seem like a normal older married couple if you ask me not sure why there is so much hate for him.

I read he's ill. I've always wondered who styles Ruth's hair - it always looks like she's wearing a helmet.

sweatervest · 14/04/2021 13:21

ruth had her hair dyed yesterday (she said on instagram).
dermot and alison are growing on me but why dermot sits like mr messy i don't know.
i am not missing p&h at all. in case you were wondering.

Fatarseflanagan09 · 14/04/2021 14:20

I like them, they’re normal, not like Phil and Holly cackling maniacally and jumping about like over excited gimps.

Meltinthemiddle · 14/04/2021 14:23

Dermot always slouches drives me mad!

Can’t stand watching Eamonn and Ruth. He’s awful, he just looks bored the whole time.

I too like them, the fact that they are like a lot of other couples is an attractive quality.
SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 14/04/2021 15:05

@lollipoprainbow. You try and justify it if you want Hmm

peak2021 · 14/04/2021 17:05

Regardless of whether you like them or not, have you really nothing better to do at that time of the morning? Assuming you are not ill in bed.

Meltinthemiddle · 14/04/2021 17:14

Have you nothing better to do then comment on my thread? I'm enjoying a lazy day off and if I want to drink tea, eat biscuits and watch morning TV I will thank you very much 😊

I stick it on as background noise while doing housework sometimes. If something interesting comes on (rare admittedly) I'll stop to watch.

That's if I'm not at work. Grin

They are on tv advertising some vibrating plate for your legs type thing.

weewitch · 14/04/2021 23:39

I was wondering the same Op - I'd like Dermot and Alison to replace Holly and Phil and go back to Eamon and Ruth on Fridays / holidays (although Dermot's slouching bugs me too!)

Sparklingbrook · 15/04/2021 05:26

Also Eamonn advertises some equity release thing.
ElGuardiandenoche · 15/04/2021 14:35

Hahahaha! @Sparklingbrook. I suppose they have to earn their money somehow.

Sparklingbrook · 15/04/2021 20:10

I guess so. Both adverts are unwatchable and toe curling. Grin
ElGuardiandenoche · 18/04/2021 03:06

@Sparklingbrook I agree completely they are so cringe making like so many of the celeb adverts, I'm so grateful for the fast forward button Grin
