No, I think it's all a bit silly tbh.
I can't stand the pair of them, but they were there for work purposes.. they're hardly going to queue for 12 hours for a 10 minute section on This Morning. That's why there was a press section .
If they had jumped the queue to go with their family then fair enough for the outrage, but I don't get the hoo-ha.

I think this is silly too. Loads of people got to go straight in, why shouldn't they have?

DoAllMyOwnStunts · 19/09/2022 20:04

What's wrong with my post?

pictish · 19/09/2022 20:04

I agree…petty rubbish. Who actually gives a fuck?

DoAllMyOwnStunts · 19/09/2022 20:04

Is it the link or the mention of Fern Britton?

7amByTheSeaPlease · 19/09/2022 20:05

I think a lot of people will sign it without even being bothered about the queue jumping to be honest, they seem to be very disliked. Him especially.

Foronenightonly01 · 19/09/2022 20:05

No, but I agree they’re odious and all tv should start to have some actual standards.

Perpop · 19/09/2022 20:05

Honestly people need to bore off and fight for something important

iklboo · 19/09/2022 20:05

No because I'm not Captain Overreacting. What a load of bollocks.

Yack02 · 19/09/2022 20:05

The backlash on this has been ridiculous so no, I definitely won't be signing the petition! It's like any excuse to be outraged.

DoAllMyOwnStunts · 19/09/2022 20:07

OK I'll leave out the link.

It's not the queue jumping which bothers me, it's the lying/denial afterwards. Like their former colleague Fern Britton and her ryvita and gastic band diet nonsense.

Darkness22 · 19/09/2022 20:07

I loved that quote that people were pissed off with rich, famous people wanting special treatment 😂. Oh, the irony.

Sparklingbrook · 19/09/2022 20:19

I'd sign one to get rid of This Morning altogether. Saying that though if it's on tomorrow I'll be tuning in to see what they have to say. <fickle>
I don't really understand going to see the coffin so not sure how much i care if they queue jumped or whatever personally.

Georgeskitchen · 19/09/2022 20:19

No it's time to let it go. They haven't exactly murdered anyone . All this hysteria is getting a bit silly

Cheeselog · 19/09/2022 20:20

Do people actually watch or care about that crap?

angeIica · 19/09/2022 20:22

I don't watch the program or care that they jumped the queue, but they sound like an odious pair.

This.

SM is so toxic at times.

People believe anything the media want them too. If DB hadn't been in the queue at the time the whole story would have been different.

We've far bigger problems in this country than 2 press personalities using a press queue 🙄

wherearebeefandonioncrisps · 19/09/2022 20:22

I wish they'd go.
I'd like to watch a magazine show in the morning, alas, it's usually The Holly and Phil Show including all their in-jokes .

Scottishguy · 19/09/2022 20:23

They didn't jump the queue, they were their to present their show. They didn't view the Lying in State.

badbaduncle · 19/09/2022 20:24

This is an excuse to get rid of him, surely. He is such a knob head, he really is appalling. I think the UK has just seen it's chance to get rid haha

ChilliBandit · 19/09/2022 20:26

I don’t care about the alleged queue jumping, but I’d be happy for This Morning to disappear from TV and them along with it. I can’t stand either of them, they come across as so smug and superior whilst appearing incredibly dense at times.

Nameless3 · 19/09/2022 20:26

Really?

Fucking hell.

LuluBlakey1 · 19/09/2022 20:27

Never seen them on morning TV. But I can guarantee however bad they are, 'Loose Women' has much lower standards and presenters that are a million times worse - it is a cesspit of talentless, has-beens and never-weres.

So true, I won't watch it since they bullied the woman cleaner, it was horrendous.
