Will This Morning be axed ?? What will be her next step -will she be let brave it out on her return date scheduled for the 5th June by ITV ??
Will She stay put / be ousted / dropped by advertisers?
Bad bad publicity being part of a toxic atmosphere- Will/can Dan save her "career"?? im intrigued . why cant they let new talent come in??
Alison H must be worried too.what if TM faces the axe ??

Hollys has zero journalistic background to speak of just a pretty face ( Sorry )
Packaged herself as a double act with Phil. The P and H show.
The fakery / the silly drunken staged antics after award cermonies
Taking the viewers for stupid morons who actually could see through their fake laughs etc etc.
Not as popular as She thought.

I do feel sorry for her as She basically backed the wrong person with her whole career. and now her back peddling is not a good look. she didnt have a questionable affair with a much younger colleague who she met at age 15 and who She was a powerful figure over but by her association is her career dead in the water ???/ salvagable

I think Alison comes across as more genuine than Holly ever did...

Oh common she's a millionaires

Holly could just get a normal job if she wants something to do. Maybe she could retrain as a teacher?

I don't think she will return on Monday and I think TM won't return after the summer
I think she will concentrate on her " wellbeing" site Wylde Moon plus she has advertising deals with M&S she would want to protect

SmoothSeasDoNotMakeGoodSailors · 30/05/2023 23:54

But surely her advertising deals with M&S and the make up are all linked in to her high profile on TM? If she's not on them they will drop her like a hot brick.

@EbonyRaven

From the ads and clips that get thrown up when stuff like this happens 👍

Haywirecity · 31/05/2023 00:15

They've announced that she's back next Monday after half term. I wonder if they'll just ignore everything or discuss it? She might be better to start her summer holidays early and start back in September.

24KaratCucumber · 31/05/2023 00:15

I don't get why this woman deserves over £700k a year for This Morning.
No one deserves £700k a year for TV shite work.
Guarantee Phil was in way more.

Cost of.living crisis my arse, distribution of wealth crisis.

FiloPasty · 31/05/2023 00:20

I think the WyldMoone line or whatever it was called was a total miss, she’s peddling to the daytime tv crowd, the Gwynnie pilates fanny steamers with cash are not watching daytime tv! I’m closer to HW in age but loved Fern, and Richard and Judy were my uni years.
just think she’s super fake.
Alison and Dermot I love.
reading the threads on here though it seems that the age imbalance has affected a lot of people, I too had teenage “obsessions/encounters” with older men and now I think wtf? I’ve drilled it into my girls that boys who go for younger girls it’s because the girls the same age thibk they are idiots!

TheUsualChaos · 31/05/2023 00:21

Don't think she really needs any pity. She buddied up with PS for her own career, has made a fortune out of it and decided to feign ignorance as shit was hitting the fan all around her, presumably in the hope it would all blow over.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 31/05/2023 02:03

Well whatever happens she's not going to be in the universal credit queue is she. Her kids aren't going to be impoverished and hungry are they.

Marcipex · 31/05/2023 02:13

I watch it; I have a disabling health condition and can do very little.
It passes the time and I liked H and P. I think apart from Craig Doyle, every part time presenter is dire, with terrible fake ( or real) accents and little intelligence.
I hope it’s replaced by some thing with a similar magazine-show format though.

God no! Loud, talks over people, no wit or charisma whatsoever and that fake laugh… she’s awful!

Oh, News of the World…

PenelopeTitsDrop3121 · 31/05/2023 09:17

I've a feeling she'll announce stepping down in the next day or 2. I'm guessing they said she is to gage the public reaction.

*she will be back on Monday to gage the public reaction.

Missingmyusername · 01/06/2023 09:15

If I were her I would want to leave, take a break and come back in 2024.

This Morning is finished. John Leslie, Fred the weatherman and now Phil and whatever comes of this story next. Personally think Phil should retire, not like he needs the cash is it.

x2boys · 01/06/2023 09:33

This morning has had several scandals over the years ,rumours about Judy Finnegan ,s drinking , Richard Madeley, " forgetting " too pay for wine
Fred, the Weather man
John Leslie
it's a wonder it's still going .

Peonyfun · 01/06/2023 09:39

I really hate it when a woman is blamed for a man’s actions. Abhor it.

your post op is almost salivating at the thought of her losing her gig on this morning. She’s under contract for much more than this morning, has many side gigs, and will be fine. With out without this morning.

Bluebells1970 · 01/06/2023 09:46

Thing is, she knew what PS was doing... and chose to turn a blind eye, like the rest of the management team. She may not be responsible but she enabled the behaviour. Her own DS is in his early teens - did she allow PS around him?

She should have left the moment she found out about it. As it is, she waited too long and is now tainted by association. I think she'll struggle to find work as well. As for Wylde Moon, it sounds like a toilet cleaner you'd find in Home Bargains. She's like the Gwyneth Paltrow of the cheap and nasty.

They all holidayed together.

RightWhereYouLeftMe · 01/06/2023 09:51

She's been co-presenting This Morning since 2009 so how do you come to the conclusion that she has no journalism experience?

Is This Morning journalism? I don't mean that as a bitchy criticism, there's nothing wrong with it not being journalism. I wouldn't think she'd need any journalism experience to continue presenting things like dancing on ice and this morning, so for a PP to criticise her for having no journalism experience seems a bit irrelevant.

Bookist · 01/06/2023 09:56

HW has no formal journalistic training or qualifications. I doubt she could write a press release if you held a gun to her head. She is literally just a pretty face, reading from notes and a tele prompter.

ImAvingOops · 01/06/2023 10:07

I think pp are being a bit harsh on Richard and Judy. We don't know that J is an alcoholic and even if she was, it's not a crime or even morally dubious. I've also heard rumours that she is unwell and that's why she seemed a bit shaky sometimes. Either way it's her business. Richard forgot to pay for something once. So what? A child I was minding nicked a shoe from New Look once - I found her clutching it in the buggy and I had to return it. These things happen. They were fab presenters.

Fred the weatherman is an actual criminal and shouldn't be in the same category.

I don't think you necessarily need to be a journalist to present tv but it's an advantage on a talk show - their skills add depth and journalists will want to do more meaty stories rather than a lot of the fluff that's currently on TM.
