Well that was hardly worth watching. What a load of vacuous drivel. Like she doesn't give a monkeys!

Ah I missed it! Hopefully someone will post a link later on

She needs to go it's galling watching her. The sheen has gone and she should read the room

So a woman needs to lose her job because their male colleague, and friend, behaved inappropriately?

I dint even watch the programme, or seen today's 'speech' on TV.
But the frothing from some posters across Mn re HW is ridiculous.

Please remember that she wasn't the one sleeping with a young employee whilst lying to their wife about it.

I suspect the ones frothing about holly are the same ones who would stone the houses of families of paedophiles because “they obviously knew,” and who, in the days of old would have attended public floggings.

But people here aren’t going to be happy until someone does something irreversible. I’ve already seen posts from people saying they don’t really care if PS kills himself, do people feel the same about HW? Is that the end goal for some here?

Neither are going to kill themselves.. empty threats

She needs to go. She’s so fake & expects everyone to fall for it. The white dress as well-just cringey.

What exactly do people want here? If she’d said nothing people would criticise that. Say anything and she’s a fake. If she’d quit people would be saying that it was an admission of guilt. She can’t win.

And the truth is that no-one knows whether she knew or not. no-one but it suits the narative to think that she was complicit because then it gives people a reason to rip her apart as well.

If you don’t like Holly on this morning then don’t watch it. It ain’t that hard.

Oh course people don't want people to kill themselves. But it's happened and it's going to be spoken about. Although they shouldn't be hounded, I agree.

it is linked to on the bbc website
along with twitter comments.

life changing?
the bbc are loving this obviously

lovescats3 · 05/06/2023 11:00

Dressing in white to portray innocence, asking if we're ok as if she gives a shit, so fake and she's always been thick so will struggle to keep the programme afloat as well as having a smug smile, time for itv to move her off the show

Gistbury · 05/06/2023 11:00

What a load of lovey dovey nonsense. Completely staged and insincere.

I've just seen it. Blimey, it's hard to watch 🤣

Willmafrockfit · 05/06/2023 11:01

actually i thought it was a nice caring speech.
aimed at the people who normally watch.
i bet they dont hate her

lovescats3 · 05/06/2023 11:02

Whether and what she knew she's never been a good presenter, it's time to refresh the programme anyway

BellatrixLestrangesHeatedCurlers · 05/06/2023 11:02

Holly likes the magic sugar so her squeaky clean image is quite laughable.

Stalkedbyzombies · 05/06/2023 11:02

Holly and Dan need to pay for those expensive properties. If she goes, they would both have to go. It's the pity party to save the Algarve villa.
I remember the innocent times before the influence of laser-focused PR became common knowledge. Fans would be weeping into their Kleenex saying @What a lovely, angelic girl being put under pressure because they have made stuff up about that lovely guy who is her best friend!"

BriarHare · 05/06/2023 10:46

I groaned when I saw she was in angelic white. It’s all ludicrous and would’ve been better had she just said nothing.

Phil’s relationship with the runner was discussed all over SM for years. It’s just insulting we’re expected to believe that she, a very close friend who holidayed with him, managed to remain oblivious.

Yet a man in a white shirt - isn’t seen as symboling innocent. Why read so much into her hair, her nails and the colour of the dress. Red would be bloody, black morning. White is summer ….,

talk about taking the woman down - she hasn’t done anything wrong.

how many of us don’t have a work persona and a home one?

if I was at work and someone left the mug on the side I wouldn’t be demanding all the office workers came in the kitchen like CSI Miami and went through who had hot chocolate and seems unable to clear it all away.

she’s a presenter - she’s doing her job

MapofVenice · 05/06/2023 10:26

Honestly get a life, she’s just a person! Said too much you’d slate her, say too little she’s fake. It’s a tv programme - trump got less flack for being a rapist as president!

Exactly. Just forget it now. I don't want anyone lower down at TM to lose their jobs. They have done nothing wrong. The person who did has gone.

Mourning not morning …. But you get the idea

its like stomach watching men and women - she might be pregnant even at 45 where as he is in ‘fine form’

Exactly. Leave her alone. What does it matter what she wears?

Radyward · 05/06/2023 11:05

So she is top dog and top presenter now- its like PS doesnt exist. it looks power hungry by H and is not a good look by her whether she wears white or not.
Also the stuff coming out about the atmosphere onset ,bullying,traumatising of employees who have been managed out for calling out behaviours behind the scenes does not marry with the girl next door fun imagery provided to the public.the viewers now know the show friendships are fake and there is no TM family. that makes it unpalatable and unwatchable now to joepublic. its a total sinking ship now. to my mind going back is a bad bad career move on hollys part

TooOldForThisNonsense · 05/06/2023 11:05

Who is this nobody on with her?

Willmafrockfit · 05/06/2023 11:06

i dont normally watch, but i watched and they were all talking over each other
is this usually like this?

anotherside · 05/06/2023 11:06

Haha, never watch the show but had to see what the fuss was about. That speech had all the depth of the wee my dog did on the living room floor yesterday. And nothing says sincerity during a speech about lies and mental health than a plastered on joker grin and a fake/practised hug.
