So, just caught the last bit of This Morning and is it just me or have they become really smug lately? Their egos are through the roof and the way they try and find something really funny and burst out laughing is getting a bit tiresome. These hilarious innuendos or slip of the tongues are not set up at all by them or the production team boring. They can never top Fern Britton's 'see you don't mind dunking a bit of beef' gaff, much as they try.

I do prefer Eamonn and Ruth, much more humble and in touch with the viewers.

Am I the only one who feels like this? I am not Fern Britton by the way Grin

On the rare occasions I flick onto that show, it's the bloody adverts that are on! Phil and Holly aside, I don't know how anyone can bear watching it due to the constant ad breaks alone!

VivienneEastwood · 24/01/2018 19:15

I can't stand them either. & who's idea was it to bring back dancing on ice? Yawnorama.

You could like many people choose not to watch the shows they present.

Loonoonow · 24/01/2018 19:29

The whole rolling in drunk from the NTAs or being too hungover to work is SO lame it casts doubt on the credulity of the rest of the show. If the producers think that we, as an audience, are dumb enough to buy into that charade, what other fake crap are they pedalling?

It used to be a real treat to have a morning free to watch TM but not anymore. It has become like a pantomime caricature of a good magazine show. I am more likely to watch Homes Under the Hammer on a morning off.

And also, whilst discussing daytime tv - did anyone see Loose Women today? When did Katie Price become so slow? I have never liked her, but she used to be reasonably quick witted. Now she can barely string a sentence together. Is she on some sort of medication?

mrsharrison · 24/01/2018 19:33

I watch the Matthew Wright show on C5 rather than deal with TM.

MissEliza · 24/01/2018 19:38

I think the whole ITV morning line up from GMB to Loose Women is pretty crappy. I used to have it on as background when pottering around the house but I actually bought a DAB radio recently as I just got fed up of it all.

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 24/01/2018 19:39

Oh hang on I’ve only just cottoned on, it was NTAs last night was it? So did they turn up ‘drunk/hungover’ this morning, again? Were there ‘piccalilli’ stains again too?

GinnyJumperoo · 24/01/2018 19:46

He has the tiniest waist I've ever seen on a man.

Seriously. He must buy his belts from the kids' department.

NotAgainYoda · 24/01/2018 19:48

Nope

Philip's ego is mahoosive in the manner of many a middle-aged man

Holly (whilst lovely) was brought in as the purty young thing to be his on-screen wife. And on-screen wives are always 20 years younger. Makes the man look good

NotAgainYoda · 24/01/2018 19:50

Did I mis-remember or did it go tits up with Fern when it came out that she was paid less?

lynmilne65 · 24/01/2018 19:54

Why the hell watch then , Its not compulsory.

NotAgainYoda · 24/01/2018 19:55

I don't watch anymore

WitchesHatRim · 24/01/2018 19:55

I think it did, but not surevit was comparing like for like because PS was doing other stuff for ITV as well, not just This Morning.

lynmilne65 · 24/01/2018 19:56

Mrs Browns contrived ? you have broken my heart 😭

WitchesHatRim · 24/01/2018 19:57

Lose Women has turned into the Katie Price show. Whenever she is on, it's all about mmmeeeeeeee

FlyingElbows · 24/01/2018 19:58

Bring back Richard & Judy, at least owned his smug twattery and Judy didn't pander to it. But more importantly bring back Paul O'Grady as Lily Savage getting pissed at the wine reviewing and doing the advice phone-in. Priceless.

Tbh, Op, as you can manage sentences and critical thinking you're not really This Morning's target audience. ITV is 90 % telly for the intellectually bereft.

altiara · 24/01/2018 20:01

No, they’re definitely smug and annoying. Didn’t used to be this bad.
I also think holly’s done something to her face, but I can’t work out what other than looking slightly more vacant, from one angle she looked like Tess Daly. Phil also thinks he’s god’s gift. Silver chihuahua - love that! Grin

lynmilne65 · 24/01/2018 20:01

Rylan ? Jesus H Christmas 🙁☹️

lynmilne65 · 24/01/2018 20:03

zen 👍👍

VanillaSugar · 24/01/2018 20:05

Ok, I discovered something today about Katie Price that made me feel sad and a bit sorry for her. This is AIBU and not Chat, so I won't say what it is as it won't disappear - only that she tried to do something good for Harvey but some other places excluded her because of who she is, so she couldn't continue with Plan A. Sorry, but of a derail there, but I've been thinking about it all day and then I saw her name a couple of posts ago.

lynmilne65 · 24/01/2018 20:06

Don't bleddy watch it then Angry

MissEliza · 24/01/2018 20:08

And GMB is the Piers Morgan show.

NotAgainYoda · 24/01/2018 20:08

aw lyn Are you Holly's mum?

The silver chihuahua's wifey?

VanillaSugar · 24/01/2018 20:09

Back to Phil... I suspect he thought his OBE was in the bag after the Prince Philip interviews, but he started to act over- familiar with the Royal Family.
.I think he's scuppered his chances when he hosted the Princes Trust awards (or something)...

Phil was compering and made a reference to Prince Charles in wide angle. Phil laughed and said "he's blowing his nose!!!!!!!!!" The camera instantly went to Chazza who was indeed wiping his nose. Phil then carried on the joke.

No no No! You do not make fun of the Royal Family in TV. You just don't.

Lethaldrizzle · 24/01/2018 20:10

Glamourising hangovers is a wee bit irresponsible
