Can't bear the man. Bad interviewer. Vile to his wife on This Morning. Smug. Self important.

I've probably spelt his name wrong but I CBA to Google him for the correct spelling. Why is he still on telly? 😠😡😤

Horrible bastard.

They are all false, ruth i find very wooden, philip and holly think they are the bees knees, i am probably no better than any of them but least not in the public eye.

WillowKnicks · 02/09/2017 09:59

I like him, find him really entertaining & he dotes on Ruth & she knows it.

PelvicFloorClenchReminder · 02/09/2017 09:59

He's a ferrety wankweasel.

MamaOfTwos · 02/09/2017 10:05

YABU

Eamon & Ruth adore each other and are lovely in real life too!

derxa · 02/09/2017 10:06

I like him. I miss him on Sky. Ruth adores him and vice versa.

GabsAlot · 02/09/2017 10:08

hes tactless told some woman who owed mony to a loan shark who raped her thn went to jail:

at least u dont owe him money now-whole studio went silent he has no empathy

pilates · 02/09/2017 10:09

I do feel uncomfortable with the way he behaves towards Ruth and the things he says sometimes. It's bad enough when your husband says something annoying at home but embarrassing on the TV in front of a million viewers.

stella23 · 02/09/2017 10:13

Phil and holly are awful, holly is very self centred and in interested, and Philip is really quite smug and I feel he's laughing at people

TeacupsAndDaffodils · 02/09/2017 10:13

He was on Celebrity Who Wants To Be A Millionaire a few years ago with Alex Fergusson and came across really well. He raises a lot of money for Charity. I haven't seen him on much else.

Eleanorsummer · 02/09/2017 10:19

I prefer him to Phil.

FreeSpiritJen · 02/09/2017 10:22

I don't love him, but don't hate him. He is OK... I don't think he is vile to Ruth though. But he does make little potshots I have noticed.

Ruth is very attractive, and he is punching above his weight.

And I think he knows that, and that is why he makes the odd little snarky remark. Quite trivial, and very subtle, but I notice them too occasionally. I think he does love her though, and the potshots are just because he is insecure at having a frankly, quite 'hot' woman.

She does seem to adore him though, and doesn't seem to notice. At least, I haven't noticed she has noticed!

I have always liked Phil and Holly, but this past year, I have started to grow increasingly irritated by them, and their 'laughing fits,' and their 'banter,' etc etc. I even preferred Rylan and Geri on This morning to Holly and Phil. THAT is how much I am getting narked with Holly and Phil! Blush

And don't even get me started on the sickly and annoying Lorraine Kelly! I preferred Christine Bleakley so much more on Lorraine's section.. I really cannot see the point of that section of the morning tv Lorraine has. It's just mostly cookery and fashion. Coz that is all women are interested in. Hmm

HateSummer · 02/09/2017 10:22

I thought you were going to say he was dead!

Me too...ConfusedGrin

NameChanger22 · 02/09/2017 10:23

I don't like either of them, I like her more than him though. I look at lots of people on the TV and wonder why they are there. I think some people are in the right place at the right time and don't realise that they get famous because of luck, not talent.

GabsAlot · 02/09/2017 10:36

teacups jimmy saville raised alot for charity bit irrelevant

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 02/09/2017 10:44

I like him.

I think he's a far better presenter of This Morning , certainly better than Phillip Schofield.

EH is at least a decent journalist unlike 'Schofe' who started off his career talking to a stuffed puppet called Gordon but who thinks he's the Jeremy Paxman of day time telly,I loathe him.

WomblingThree · 02/09/2017 10:52

Oi StillStayingClassySanDiego don't be mean about Gordon! He's a legend Wink

Heyx · 02/09/2017 10:54

Ruth seems to be jealous and possessive towards him eg making little digs that he needs to behave himself.

Agree about Holly and Phil, too many in-jokes and a bit sneery. I also prefer it when they have different presenters. Sarah Green was fab. And to the pp who said Christine Bleakley was better than Lorraine, yy.

formerbabe · 02/09/2017 10:55

I like him. I think him and Ruth are excellent presenters.

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 02/09/2017 10:57

Wombling Gordon was better and funnier than the human Grin

SinglePringle · 02/09/2017 10:59

Met him a few times and he's genuinely lovely. Much loved in the industry. And he and Ruth adore each other.

Much prefer him and Ruth to Holly and Phill. Smug, arrogant and stand-offish (the last Holly, not Phil. He's actually nice just don't like the pair of them together).

RainbowPastel · 02/09/2017 11:00

I love him and Ruth. They have banter between them. They clearly adore each other. Much prefer them to fake Holly and Phil.

MumsOnCrack · 02/09/2017 11:01

Can't stand him or Ruth

Kidsarekarma · 02/09/2017 11:04

He's working to a script though so it's difficult to tell if he's as insensitive IRL.

Ruth seems lovely and I get the impression that even though he makes sly funny digs at her, he'd be utterly lost without her.

OstentatiousWanking · 02/09/2017 11:07

He has always been really lovely when I met him for work stuff.
