Why do I find Phillip and Holly so annoying!!

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

My brother works in telly and says that what you think about Phil isn't actually the case.

incywincybitofa · 25/01/2018 17:33

Well Vanilla if he isn't what I think he is, then he must he's kind and avuncular Grin

MsGameandWatching · 25/01/2018 17:36

I can't stand the breathless reports of how disgusted or shocked Phil and Holly were by controversial guests on their show. As though they're some kind of moral barometer, leading and guiding the viewing public. Who gives a hoot for the opinion of two mediocre tv presenters?

I think they're ace! The few clips I have seen have made me laugh out loud 😊 But then I also like Miranda and MBB.. so my 'hilarity' borometer may be skewed..

Problem it's the same thing every day 4 days a week.

I would be surprised @Vanillasugar if he is not exactly what I think he is in real life. That and the fact that I think his mask is slipping a little bit as he gets older and the anger comes through

foxyloxy78 · 25/01/2018 19:46

Yanbu. They are a pair of tools.

mrsharrison · 25/01/2018 19:50

Turned it on today to see if Eamon and Ruth were on but no, so turned straight over to C5.

I'm boycotting this bollox.

ferretyfeet · 25/01/2018 19:55

[ was really looking forward to DO[ until I realised these two idiots were presenting it. I have'nt been able to watch it

VanillaSugar · 25/01/2018 19:55

Although i did have a LOL moment a couple of weeks ago when Brenda Blethyn's (Vera) dog became all frisky and shagged her leg.

Nims45 · 25/01/2018 20:25

I can't stand PS anymore or HW. What is it with ITV and its long list of irritating blonde women? So plastic with nothing of note to say and just dull dull dull. Haven't seen GMB or TM for years and years. And don't get me started on Lorraine....

The80sweregreat · 25/01/2018 20:50

Lotraine kelly will be there when she is 90!

mrsharrison · 25/01/2018 20:54

Lk deserves her own "wee" thread.

The80sweregreat · 25/01/2018 21:02

LK is annoying too. Not watched or heard her in decades , but she still annoys me! She isnt blond or silly, but just always there. They need new people ( or less ads)

MissionItsPossible · 25/01/2018 22:44

Half the time that I'm off work and have ITV on in the morning and Lorraine comes on she's not even presenting it!

BrightonBollock · 26/01/2018 00:16

Where have all the 'real people' gone?🤷🏻‍♀️ Hi 'Holly,hi Phil'..here's a plastic wave 👋

NancyDonahue · 26/01/2018 06:20

Yes I remember the lady on the phone to Richard, Judy and Denise whose husband locked her in her house. Denise was such a lovely lady, I believe she helped the lady off air and she did manage to escape the relationship.

PrincessoftheSea · 26/01/2018 06:22

I loved Richard and Judy. So comforting. Never watch TM these days

Redact · 26/01/2018 09:51

Can't stand Holly and Phil presenting TM and just can't watch it when they're on. Much prefer Eamonn and Ruth, they are real and far better at interviewing than the plastic, vacuous Holly and Phil. Every time I switch on the telly Holly and Phil seem to be on it. Please ITV think of the viewers and give us a break from these 2. Surely to goodness they have more talented presenters they can use. And I find the way Phil presents himself as the Scofe so annoying as if he thinks it's cool and down with the kids. Loved TM with Richard and Judy. Please someone bring them back!

NancyDonahue · 26/01/2018 10:03

Did anyone see the Halloween show when Phil got dressed up in a ridiculous costume and couldn't talk? He still managed to be a twat even without saying anything

DameSquashalot · 26/01/2018 12:22

I did. Even the makeup couldn’t hide the smugness

busyboysmum · 26/01/2018 13:39

I was wondering if its better watching an actual married couple as they don't pander to each other as much. They're not scared of disagreeing with each other. Makes it a lot more interesting to watch imo

incywincybitofa · 26/01/2018 16:00

I think it isn't the marital status but the "Personality" that makes the difference.

mrsharrison · 26/01/2018 16:26

Yes Nancy that was the last episode i watched. I just wanted to slap him.

raisedbyguineapigs · 26/01/2018 16:38

I think it's more the R&J and Ruth and Ramon (more Ruth) don't pander to the lowest common denominator. They are intelligent, trained journalists and aren't afraid to be seen as grown ups. Holly strikes me as a silly giggly schoolgirl even though she is a mother of 3 and Phil is just patronising.
