Aww. She would be a fine mate.

Anthea Turner could do wth a few quid nowadays couldnt she?

But she is hideous, so not my first choice.

coochicoo · 26/03/2009 10:43

Not Coleen Nolan. She's hideous!

Emma Forbes. She's nice - and she has always had a good rapport with Philip.

Fearne Cotton has GOT to be the most irritating woman on TV. Closely followed by Fiona Phillips.

Loose Women not the same since Kaye left. It's all giggling and willy jokes now. Don't watch anymore.

LOVE Fern.

Baconsarnie · 26/03/2009 11:33

I second whoever suggested Liza Tarbuck. I love her. Or Sarah Greene. Or Emma Forbes. Please not Myleene Klass, who I have nothing against, but it would disappoint me if they went with someone much younger than Phil.
I like Fiona Phillips (am I the only one?) but don't think she'd be right for TM.

yes! Liza Tarbuck.

She is warm and funny

not myleen, she annoys the hell out me. Too much smugness.

dizzydixies · 26/03/2009 12:16

another vote for Lisa Tarbuck here - who do we inform of our decision

QuantitativeMeasure · 26/03/2009 12:24

shall we send an email to This Morning asking them to consider Liza Tarbuck?

dizzydixies · 26/03/2009 12:45

demand by the power of mumsnet QM, demand it

there surely should be someone on here who is involved with This Morning? you would think it would be a great place for research etc on the sly?

travellingwilbury · 26/03/2009 12:50

I think Jackie Brambles would be quite good . Not the same as Fern but I like her .

coochicoo · 26/03/2009 13:51

I think Liza Tarbuck would be good too.

I agree it should be someone with a bit of life experience, rather than some young thing who thinks they're the only person in the world to have a baby.

yeahinaminute · 26/03/2009 14:15

Liza tarbuck gets my vote ...

OR ....

Alison Steadman - but in her Gavin and Stacey Pam guise ... taking over from "not - so - fat - Fern" to share the sofa with "Phil- who -dyed- his- hair -and- is -now-Grey" Schofield

She'd be soooo un PC !

donnie · 26/03/2009 14:43

abi titmuss?

TinySocks · 26/03/2009 14:53

What is wrong with Fiona Phillips?? I think she's great!

MelanieLiv · 26/03/2009 15:09

Ditto Liza Tarbuck.....quietly goes back to lurking....

Glitterknickaz · 26/03/2009 15:21

I think Melanie Sykes would do it well.

tillytips · 26/03/2009 15:35

I vote for Kaye Adams as well, she is clever and funny don't really watch it as not around at that time usually, but i caught loose women this week with Fiona and she grates on my nerves big time, very annoying voice.

But to be honest i wouldn't care if they took it of air altogether;)

dietstartstomorrow · 26/03/2009 16:04

ooohh yes I would LOVE Liza - I think she is so funny.

She used to voice over a show (can't remember what it was now) and even her comments on that made me LOL.

I think Fiona is going to get the job though.

northender · 26/03/2009 16:08

I see Liza Tarbuck in a new light since someone on mn posted about her and what a horrible person she is (from personal experience). 'twas a regular poster but not sure who now. Will try to find the thread and link to it

LOOBYLOU2 · 26/03/2009 16:34

I agree Liza - I love it when she stands in for Steve Wright
Fiona was abs rubbish on Loose Women!
Fern is pretty irreplaceable in my humble opinion - she's made the role her own

BitOfFun · 26/03/2009 16:37

I doubt Fern is leaving due to salary issues - that is the kind of crap the tv companies put out to discredit women. They did similar to Carol Vorderman IIRC.

Re Liza Tarbuck, one word....Strap-on [cryptic emoticon]

solowitch · 26/03/2009 16:39

Ok,Ok, I'll do it.
It'll be a wrench, hard work and dreadfully boring next to PS(not!)but, if it keeps all those awful women off your screens, I'll volunteer.

LouMacca · 26/03/2009 16:40

Another vote for Kaye Adams here. I liked her when she was on Loose Women (when LW was actually OK). I think she probably didn't return to LW as she was embarrassed by the direction it was going in.

God, hope its not Fiona Phillips or Anthea Turner!

I think that they should defo go with someone who is a similar age to Phil and defo not a younger woman like Mylene Klass.

dizzydixies · 26/03/2009 17:05

william hill have odds on this already
Eammon Holme's wife is up first
then Fiona Phillips and then Holly Willibooby

Fimbo · 26/03/2009 17:12

Oh Dizzy no, no no. Loving Willibooby.
