On the This Morning programme he appears insincere and judgy of others.

Ruth seems embarrassed of him most of the time.

Ruth could do better, surely to God?

To be fair, Anthea Turner is an utter tool.

Yeah why did they get rid of fit man on daybreak ? < off topic >

It's a puzzle, Door. He fair brightened my morning, he did. Especially if he stood up. Fine figure of a man

MarysBeard · 07/09/2012 14:29

Aargh, yes, the man is such an utter tool. I don't like his simpering pouting wife either. They make Richard and Judy look like the best presenters in the world.

Chris Moyles only has 5 more days. Sad

MarysBeard · 07/09/2012 15:16

YEY! I may actually listen to Radio 1 in the mornings again.

Saw him on TV (EH) on one of those comedy roadshow thingies. He was in the audience and when the camera showed him he put his hand at the side of his head to hide his specs. The next time the camera showed him he wasn't wearing them!! Talk about being vain.

SoleSource · 07/09/2012 17:06

Gosh jes! Or if he wears them when out and about people are less likely to recognise him? So doesn't want to be known for wearing glasses Lol

His ego is as over-inflated as his arse. He needs to get off my telly and make friends with a few salads!

SoleSource · 07/09/2012 17:47

He is very irritatingly insecure about his weigjt. It is annoying. He sits with folded arms as if tnat makes him look slimmer. I am heavier than he is. I am what I am

Each show he makes a quip or ten about his weight. His confidence suffers.

I've just remembered Jon Chulshaw's impersonation of EH, eating everything all around him, couches, cameras etc. and saying ?I was fierce hungry, so I was?

EH actually called in the lawyers he was so offended, and had the charcter cut from the series. Twat.

Hangs head in shame, but since being on mat leave he's grown on me, he has a strange sense of humour and can be funny at times.

Wat2do · 07/09/2012 18:20

Ruth always reminds me of Julian Clary for some reason Confused

I have a swollen steroid head (steroids for asthma), it makes me resemble the love child of Eammon Holmes and an Easter Island statue.
I avoid mirrorsSad

chickens, I have just yelled with laughter at your description of the dough faced one. I don't care if he's a bit fat and defensive about it, but I do think he is an ignorant throwback with prehistoric views. I have no idea how Ruth puts up with it.

Also agree he is very insincere, to the extent that in an advert for his Sky programme, he's in a cab blethering on and I always expect him to turn to the camera and say: 'this is all bollocks you know'.

Slidey eyed grease weasel.

NettOlympicSuperstar · 07/09/2012 19:21

Excellent, and I look like him.
Anyone have the number for dignitas?

Echocave · 07/09/2012 19:32

Netto I refuse to believe you have the shifty eyed sliminess of the professionally snider!

YANBU. He is revolting.

It's a case of the 'arrogance of wealth'. Holmes is from a relatively poor background who got into TV and has seen his salary grow to make him a pretty wealthy man. Along with a whole cart load of arrogance!

He often comes across as god almighty in his views - last week he told a businessman that CVs should have photos on them. When the businessman politely disagreed, Holmes insisted the he was wrong!

Holmes isn't the only obnoxious one on Sky. Dermot Murnaghan, who practically shouts at guests in a superior fashion, was caught on camera recently 'snogging' a 20-something make up girl in a public park. Wife nowhere in sight, of course.

Then there's Colin Brazier. Arrogant and condescending to guests, especially when they mis-pronounce words.
