Just that really, Holly said hold on breaking news! I actually got a bit worried thinking we had been attacked or something!

Specially as in the last few days we have had bomb threats with those packages found in London etc.

Aibu to have an issue with this? Is it just me?

I think that the Queen identifying as twin boys could bring down the monarchy, to be frank. I honestly hope she's thought this through.

I’m assuming it’s just some random couple who were ‘revealing’?
TM is a load of shite and YABU to even have it on in the background. Grin

I've never been so confused on a thread before. I literally have no clue what is going on but am glad to see the Queen is still alive and well and that Phoebe and Mike broke up (I never did like them as a couple). Grin

@ethelfeda

Philip is the Queen’s husband. He’s the father of one but there’s confusion because Mike is also Zara’s husband.

You’ve got to make time for the important stuff Kath.

Right according to twitter Holly said they taking a break for sudden breaking news and they cut to the news studio where a very serious newsreader gave the sex of two babies.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 07/03/2019 13:27

I'm going for lie down.

Let me know when the main points have been summarised in some sort of comprehensible order . . .

Almostalive · 07/03/2019 13:27

Holly announced there was breaking news and she was handing over to ITV News. I thought there had been some form of terror attack too. Totally distasteful OP.

Kings mike.

Someone please start from the start!

Holly from this morning interrupted the broadcast to reveal 6 boys. One is called phil, one is Mike (crap bag banana hammock) the other four are the queen and the OP is annoyed because she thought Brexit had been cancelled.

I think we are still trying to figure out what the boys were actually doing.

So did the news reader elaborate on who the two babies belonged to?

QuirkyQuark · 07/03/2019 13:29

The reveal was 2 twin boys.

I get irrationally crosswhen people say 2 twins. It's not like there can be one or three 🤦🏻‍♀️

RunningFeisty · 07/03/2019 13:30

The gender reveal was of a totally random couple, not Meg and Harry.

I just think it was in bad taste.

You lot need to grow up a bit.

So a random couple are having twin boys, how lovely for them.

As for why this is breaking news who knows [shrug] It's better news than listening to Brexit talk though Grin

Of course you could - nobody said they had to be each other’s twin brother. You could have a room full of twin boys!

I’m none the wiser.

Mike?

BeenHereForAges · 07/03/2019 13:32

Ok they had a gender reveal section for 3 or 4 random couples. No one famous. It was dire. But they made a big deal pretending it was "breaking news" by interrupting the programme with a very convincing news flash to inform us all that 2 random people were having twin boys. I think a lot of people thought it was a terrorist attack.

MummatoaMunchkin · 07/03/2019 13:33

Omg my god this thread had my wetting myself! Really brightened up my day!! 😂😂😂

UterusUterusGhali · 07/03/2019 13:34

Bloody hell. Grin

AutumnCrow · 07/03/2019 13:34

I find it hard to believe that Holly Willoughby did anything

Thisisnotadrill · 07/03/2019 13:34

I thought the mother looked disappointed that it was two boys not a boy and a girl.

SlowCooked · 07/03/2019 13:34

Op is right! I think everyone here does need to grow up a bit! Anyway, what I understand so far is that Mike and the Queen have just had 6 baby boys in a gender reveal. Mike is also somehow the godfather.
