Muddling Ruth, irritating?Shock.

Why?

QueenOfMyWorld · 20/08/2018 12:16

Im not a fan of him and Ruth comes across as false imo

I tuned in a few weeks ago and I think it was Michael Ball and Lisa Snowden. They do put some random pairings on
He was on radio two the other week, paired with Sara Cox. Yes, that’s right. Cox and Ball.

@pinkavocado Less irritating on biggleton??? He sings on biggleton 😫😫😫🤮🤮🤮

HolyMountain · 20/08/2018 12:21

Bloody hell anyone watching right nowGrin.

I’m amazed Eamonn can keep a straight faceGrin.

Costacoffeeplease · 20/08/2018 12:23

Can’t stand either of them, he’s patronising and arrogant, she’s just irritating, luckily I can easily avoid anything they’re on

HolyMountain · 20/08/2018 12:25

This woman had sex with a ghost on a plane!

This is painful viewing but I can’t turn it off.

Kaykay06 · 20/08/2018 12:26

I’m not a fan but with that kind of guest I think he’s quite good, she was v odd but each to their own I guess
Wasting time when I should be tidying etc lol

WiddlinDiddlin · 20/08/2018 12:29

Mmm, can't stand him and according to a close source, he's a petty minded little git in real life if you are not either important staff or a fan to be amused. She's no better.

MrsJayy · 20/08/2018 12:48

He was very good with Ghost Lover lady tbf. Phillip would have leaned forward and laughed in her face while Holly smirked

PinkAvocado · 20/08/2018 12:54

@ChellySmuff that’s true! But the Biggle Wiggle is great.

ArmySal · 20/08/2018 13:04

Oh I like Eammon! Can’t bear to watch Phil & Holly simpering and sniggering.

insertimaginativeusername · 20/08/2018 13:09

He lost me at the police criticism. The resulting #telleamonn was pretty amusing though.

Timefortea99 · 20/08/2018 13:16

You can tell R & E adore each other. It is their think to insult each other. She gives as good as she gets. P & H are irritatingly smug. They have more in jokes that R & E and they are not married.

A few years ago now but he interviewed a young man (late teens iirc) with a genetic condition which meant he remained the same height as a 5/6 year old.
The whole interview was about how hard he found it to be taken seriously and treated as an adult as people thought he was still a child.
At the end of the interview Eamon Holmes said 'Aww you've been through such a lot, come here and sit on my knee!' WTAF! I couldn't believe it, Shock I Commented on their FB page at the time I was so astounded he'd done it.

Yesterdayizdone1 · 20/08/2018 13:20

That's typical
Doesn't think before he speaks

@HolyMountain, can't say anything specific, just generally find her irritating. Maybe a little false and forced. I would actively avoid watching anything either of them are fronting.

Aintnothingbutaheartache · 20/08/2018 14:39

Several people on TV annoy the fuck out of me, I just don’t watch.
And no, it’s not unreasonable to find someone irritating especially when they are projected into your lounge on a big screen

Helendee · 20/08/2018 14:54

Love him and Ruth but can't stand Pip and Holly.

CSIblonde · 20/08/2018 15:02

Eammon used to seem very irritable, which I put down to his dodgy hip. Now he seems more placid/ jokey but looks bored quite often. Holly: I don't buy the twee act. When she told a story about keeping a Chanel ring that Tara Palmer Tompkinson had on (Tara saw her looking at it & said oh have it), I just thought hmm, grabby.

PaddysMarket · 22/08/2018 12:56

Did anyone else hear Eammon make a joke about Ruth today on This Morning and Ruth immediately said "please don't complain about my husband being horrible to me, I find him funny"....I did wonder if she had been reading this thread.

SoyDora · 22/08/2018 13:12

He probably told her she had to say that! Grin

chrisinthesun · 22/08/2018 13:23

YANBU. I don't like him either. Ruth is OK though.

chrisinthesun · 22/08/2018 13:25

The whole programme 'this morning' is a bit naff though. A woman who is having a baby with a ghost? Really.............

butterflysugarbaby · 22/08/2018 13:26

YANBU. I can't stand him. I think he is really irritating and full of himself. He is DEFINITELY punching above his weight with Ruth; she is gorgeous, he is not. I think that's why he puts her down and berates her (even though he is apparently 'joking.') Hmm

He definitely thinks he is more appealing/sexy/handsome than he is.

Reminds me of Professor Lockhart from the second Harry Potter film. Grin

For the record, I am not hugely keen on Holly and Philip either. Their raucous laughing fits (usually about nothing!) really bore me.

Another one I can't stand is the dreadful twee Lorraine Kelly. Urgh! She is awful. And why is the half hour magazine show she presents called 'The Lorraine' show??? She is not on it half the year! She has all the school holidays off (and more!) even though her only child is in her 20's! Confused

Christine Lampard has been presenting it for about 5 weeks (who I much prefer to Lorraine Kelly!)
