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?

Cackling away reading this. Mumsnetters at their finest. all round.

If I were Chelsea and Jack i’d get a second opinion. Nina said Chelsea fell pregnant in January and will be welcoming twin boys in July. Chelsea reckons she is already 21 weeks pregnant. Nina isn’t one for the facts [wi]

!

Philip identifies as the left phalange.

Come back OP!! You have left a whole bunch of us here all confused and pissed off at This Morning.

What else have you watched on TV today?

All I've got from this thread is the queen is having twin boys with Mike from friends and Phillip schofield?

I thought it was really obvious it wasn’t going to be a real announcement and was part of the gender reveal! Holly was clearly putting on an act

Well let's hope nothing important ever happens when This Morning is airing, no-one will look up from their phones.

This thread is fabulous however!

Philip aka silver fox (not the one married to The Queen) apparently makes certain women go all weak at the knees and unnecessary. The modern version of Cliff Richard perhaps. Not my cup of tea!

This thread has made an otherwise dull Thursday afternoon much brighter

Everyone at work is wondering why I'm crying with laughter though

You've got to make time for the important things Kath tipped me over the edge!!

It must be my pregnancy (not twins... or boys...) hormones but I’m actually crying with laughter at this!

What I want to know is what the Godfather has to do with it? Are the six gender fluid Philips actually Italian?

Omg the kids are now all gender fluid too. My brain is abt to give in.

YANBU OP

The way Holly said they had to cut to breaking news was incredibly genuine. My heart sank, I thought there had been a terrorist attack. Having immediate family members in the military I don't need scaring like that. It was in incredibly bad taste. There's plenty of other ways to announce the babies' sex.

FFS. Having watched the clip (thanks PP!) now - it was momentary, and during the “ITN” bit there was a box out still showing This Morning.
Yes, she looked serious - but for about half a second.

I can't stop laughing at this thread, I love MN

I do think it was utterly fucking pointless though. Didn’t add anything.

And who the fuck actually watches shite like randoms being told what sex their baby is on TV?

Pip's Pan, or Pan's Pipple, it's all the same to me

So the queen is now twin boys?

That makes sense.

I agree OP, got me panicked for a minute that sometime really serious had gone on.
Then again, I didn't really get the point of the whole segment.

Yep, guess one is out in public while the other is in for maintenance and that's how s/he has kept going this long

Some viewers got a scan and the results were on this am. Move along, nothing to see here.

If the Queen is twins, why are her birthdays on two different days? I'm telling you, she just hasn't thought it through.

Oh my god what the hell am I reading???

You lot are crazy!

But it’s brilliant so do carry on

Yep, guess one is out in public while the other is in for maintenance and that's how s/he has kept going this long smile

it all makes sense now!
