To be pissed off at This Morning's Gender Reveal Breaking News Stunt?

[RunningFeisty]

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?

Sharon?

OK actually having just watched the video I can see your point OP it is pretty tasteless the way the did it.

Link with video.

That was shit. This thread is so much better.

For those asking - I've just googled and it was a fake breaking news as they were doing a segment on gender reveals. It was for a couple names chelsea and jack!!

Shame on itv for doing that! Such bad taste!

This thread is marvellously chaotic, lots of giggles here, love it thank you all, just what I needed

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.

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

Mike and the Queen have just had 6 baby boys in a gender reveal. Mike is also somehow the godfather.

HM has had an affair with her grandson-in-law?

Is it too much to hope the daily mail picks this thread up and the random couple actually call the boys Phil and mike?

Crapbag and banana hammock would be better... but I’m limiting my expectations.

I did find it in bad taste. And yes the mum looked very disappointed!

"Three couples were waiting to discover the gender of their unborn babies when Holly Willoughby made a big announcement.

Holly looked very serious as she grabbed her ear piece and apologised for interrupting proceedings for an important reason.

She said: "Guys actually I’m really sorry to interrupt right now. We need to cross to Nina Hossain at the ITV news room."

A news flash popped up on the screen as This Morning appeared to end.

After a few tense seconds it quickly became very clear that this was part of the baby gender reveal.

Nina told Chelsea and Jack, who were waiting in the studio, that they were expecting twin boys."

So we still don’t know what gender Philip schofield is??

Yabu

It was the way she said it, very serious and straight faced. I did think either a terror attack or the queen had died, its not often they cut off programmes to go straight to news.

Love this thread!

YABVU (but you've instigated a classic thread so it's all good)

The person formally known as the Queen will now be known as ♊

So we still don’t know what gender Philip schofield is??

Alas we do not, maybe that will be tomorrows breaking news story.

I wouldn't worry OP this is a classic case of the boy who cried wolf no one will now trust them if they need to share real breaking news. They have basically shot themselves in the foot.

So we still don’t know what gender Philip schofield is??

I thought they meant Prince Phillip!

HM has had an affair with her grandson-in-law?

Think this is a new Mike and not the other one. I need a lie down too.

More importantly, what colour will the cake be?

Pip Schofield is quite fluid, I'd imagine.

and Phil, that's Prince Phil not Good Morning Phil, with from now on be "P GGDiddy"

Pip’s Pan
