There are not many people on TV that I loathe but Eammon Holmes is one of them. Daily Mail on legs.

Sparklingbrook · 20/08/2018 11:08

He's unwatchable on This Morning. He comes across as very insincere and not v interested.

Apparently in RL he's ok.

PinkAvocado · 20/08/2018 11:08

Less irritating on Biggleton.

MrsJayy · 20/08/2018 11:09

I quite like him I think a lot of what he says is tongue in cheek but if you find him irritating then yanbu.

CluedoAddict · 20/08/2018 11:10

I love Eamonn much prefer him to false Philip and Holly.

Neshoma · 20/08/2018 11:12

Eammon 'Takes 6 weeks off for a knee replacement and comes back with a new face' Holmes.

Ruth's lovely though.

Sparklingbrook · 20/08/2018 11:12

Matt Edmonson and her from the Saturdays did a really good job last week.

I rarely put it on these days but Holly and Phillip are quite annoying. I have just put it on and they are going to interview a woman who is trying for a baby with a ghost. Hmm

Rylan and Alison Hammond are generally good entertainment.

derxa · 20/08/2018 11:13

I love him. He's a great interviewer. His wife adores him.

SoyDora · 20/08/2018 11:14

Can’t stand him. He’s horrible to Ruth (pretends he’s joking but you can tell he’s not really), but he can’t take it in return.
Honestly there are very few people on TV I dislike (I generally don’t care enough to form an opinion) but if he’s on I switch straight off.

Yesterdayizdone1 · 20/08/2018 11:20

Yes I find his ' jokes ' about Ruth horrible

Alison and Rylan every time. Both of them are amusing and intelligent.

HolyMountain · 20/08/2018 11:41

I like him , they’re much better presenters than P+H, I actually loathe Philip Schofield , now there’s someone who would actually eat himself if he could.

HolyMountain · 20/08/2018 11:42

I love Rylan; warm hearted , funny and a natural on telly.

Yesterdayizdone1 · 20/08/2018 11:42

Yep don't like Phillip either but I do like holly

OP posts:
MrsJayy · 20/08/2018 11:47

I used to fancy like Philip but I just can't stand him and holly on their own they are bearable but together you can see smug oozing off them

Sparklingbrook · 20/08/2018 11:48

i tuned in a few weeks ago and I think it was Michael Ball and Lisa Snowden. They do put some random pairings on.

I struggle to take HW seriously.

alwaysultra · 20/08/2018 11:53

Smarmy

Monkeypuzzle32 · 20/08/2018 11:58

I cant bear him, he's awful and just comes across as a horrible person-added to that, when the terrorist attacks happened (on Westminster Bridge) he made some smartarse comment saying the police should have informed people what was happening etc basically criticising them for lack of info to the media!
Gawd knows what his wife sees in him, she seems nice!

ScrumpyCrack · 20/08/2018 11:59

I get the feeling he’s a real bully, especially to Ruth.

I’ve noticed every time she speaks about Strictly, and does so with pride, he finds a way to mock her about it and belittles the experience.

headinhands · 20/08/2018 12:06

struggle to take HW seriously

I'd struggle to take anything any of the presenters say on these programmes seriously. It's all nonsense isn't it.

derxa · 20/08/2018 12:07

I struggle to take HW seriously. Me too Sparkling She has such a princess and too fragile for this world personna. I suspect the reality is different.

PaddysMarket · 20/08/2018 12:11

I don't like the way he talks to Ruth, he always has some jibe at her. I can imagine they have a fair few blazing rows at home.

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 20/08/2018 12:11

Tbh, ywbu to not find him irritating. Funnily enough though, he always seems to come out well from those ‘nice/horrible irl celebs’ threads.

SinglePringle · 20/08/2018 12:12

From personal experience ... he is a very lovely man. Adores Ruth (the Micky taking is their schtick), she adores him, he’s extremely kind, respectful and pleasant to all the crew and generous to boot.

MuddlingMackem · 20/08/2018 12:12

YANBU. I find him irritating too. But unlike most of you I also find Ruth irritating. :)
