On GMTV this morning, they read the headlines and one of them was about the paternity of Anna Nicole Smith's daughter

The caption on the screen?

WHOSE the Daddy?

you should watch 'chucklevision' on cbbc - sooo much more entertaining than the likes of GMTV

Saw some of GMTV yesterday ( half term so lazed around in the morning ) , Fiona Phillips had a real serious face on and said' now some breaking news' (' Breaking News' flashed up on screen ), my ears prick up - has there been another bomb on the tube ? has the Queen pegged it ? No Robbie Williams is back in rehab !!

Very sad for Robbie why the hell is that breaking news ?

Fiona Phillips gets right on my tits , she couldn't interview her way out of a paper bag !

At least I finished the London Marathon whereas Andrew Hardcastle didn't !

I quite fancy Andrew Castle actually!!!!

mummydear · 14/02/2007 10:43

Fiona takes herself too seriously ! At least Andrew had a career before GMTV. ( tennis I believe.

Fiona Philips makes my hackles rise.

you're definitely expecting too much. why on earth do people watch tv in the morning? (she said in a curmudgeonly radio 4 kind of way..)

bundle · 14/02/2007 10:47

one of my colleagues interviewed FF - said she was v nice!

mummydear · 14/02/2007 10:49

Dont usually have time to watch TV in the morning , I usually listen to Radio 5 live.

Being a lazy bugger this week , still in dressing gown as DH is off.

I've met Fiona Phillips briefly, she still makes my hackles rise.

suedonim · 14/02/2007 12:57

I was watching Sky News this morning (the only UK news available in Nigeria) and they had a caption about 'Brest' feeding.

piglit · 14/02/2007 12:59

GMTV?

Total and utter sh*te.

Give me radio 4 any day.

IntergalacticWalrus · 14/02/2007 15:28

I also dislike the fact that GMTV give Dr Hillary Jones a job
