It just reminds me too much of my own divorce. I dont know, the idea that you can you just roll the same show out in a year, it just seems wrong.

I’ve never watched it. Or anything A and D are in actually. That probably puts me in some kind of minority. Will I not watch because of Lisa? No. Not because I don’t have empathy but because I don’t know her or the real details, so who knows what went on? But something that did make me irrationally angry earlier was hearing ‘Ant Mcpartlin won’t return to tv until 2019 so he can deal with his ‘addictions’. Er, no. HE WONT RETURN BECAUSE HE IS A CONVICTED DRINK DRIVER. Sorry for shouting.

I don't watch it anyway because im not a fan. His behaviour of late hasnt been great considering he is a public figure and potential role model, however it hasn't been outrageously bad either. Plus Lisa and him must have had problems in their relationship for a while. Im sure they both have their faults.

i remember that Amy Winehouse got a lot more vitriol from the press but she never hurt anyone...........only herself.

KellyBailey · 10/08/2018 00:12

Thought it wasn't going to be back until 2020 anyway?

Fluffyears · 10/08/2018 00:12

Can’t stand the two little twats and won’t watch anything with them!

HollyGibney · 10/08/2018 00:18

I've never watched it and hope it never returns. All that palaver for one selfish, unfaithful man.

ItWasAlIADream · 10/08/2018 00:22

Does anyone actually watch this?

Mousefunky · 10/08/2018 00:24

itwasalladream millions watch it, sadly.

I don’t watch anything with them in anymore either. I grew up watching them on Saturday morning TV and Pop Idol too but haven’t watched anything since.

BuntyII · 10/08/2018 00:24

I don't really get the OP. Why do you feel sorry for Lisa - Ant won't be in it next year?

HelenaDove · 10/08/2018 00:25

i have to endure it if im visiting DM and she has it on.

LighthouseSouth · 10/08/2018 00:25

Wait, what? Confused

SavannahSky · 10/08/2018 00:25

I think they've both had their day and should step down

Plenty of new presenters out there who could do better

Dontletthebastardsgrindyoudown · 10/08/2018 00:26

I think Dec is brilliant on his own. Doesn't need Ant Smile

Redglitter · 10/08/2018 00:27

I don't know why he's always painted as the villian in their break up & her the victim. It's almost a year since they separated. Way before his drink driving. Yes he's been an idiot but no-one knows what went on in their marriage. I can't really feel too sorry for someone looking at a £30 million divorce settlement

sohorrible · 10/08/2018 00:31

I think you're a little over-invested in the personal lives of some people you don't actually know, OP.

He's just a tv presenter. If you like the show, watch it; if you don't, don't.

bluetrampolines · 10/08/2018 00:35

There are lots of whats been reported that remind me of my own divorce and my stbxh's bad behaviour. I remember when Fern Britton stepped down from This Morning and there was a magazine article asking if she was sad. She said that she wasnt at all said because it was someone else's turn. That's what I think about this.

OP posts:
LittleBearPad · 10/08/2018 00:39

Seriously Confused. That’s really odd.

bluetrampolines · 10/08/2018 00:43

Why?

OP posts:
visitorthedog · 10/08/2018 00:43

It’s a clever spin. They’re reporting it as ‘Ant won’t return until 2019/20 because of how seriously he’s taking it’ when actually they’re setting up the expectation that it’s ok for him to return at all.

Ribrabrob · 10/08/2018 00:44

Very strange post Confused I wouldn't worry too much about her really OP.

cheesemongery · 10/08/2018 00:48

Do you know Lisa?

bluetrampolines · 10/08/2018 00:48

Yeah. It was just such easy watching. Now it isn't. And no one is fooled by the spin. Time for someone else to have a turn.

Okay.

KlutzyDraconequus · 10/08/2018 00:55

If you stopped watching every show with a divorced person in it... You'd never watch anything.

MrStarkIDontFeelSoGood · 10/08/2018 00:57

Nobody really knows what went on in their marriage other than them. Dec and wife probably have a fair idea.

Most of what you read about celeb lives in the media is invented bollocks, or bollocks based on hearsay

I'd save your sad feelings for circumstances you actually know happened instead of he said/she said conjecture
