It seems like the stories about the old silver fox are ramping up. Feel like there's more mileage in this one that we know...

From popbitch:

*>> Holden it in

ManonBlackbeak · 13/12/2019 17:44

TeslaGirls what a lovely story. I think the replace Dense with bloody Maura from Love Island, talk about dumbing down!

There's clearly something going on though, I don't think Phil did himself any favous when he went off on a Twitter rant about how 'sad' he was and that he always tried to be a ' fun person to work with'. Just keep a dignified silence please!

JolieOBrien · 14/12/2019 04:52

@ManonBlackbeak

He has even persuaded Alison to stick up for him. I saw his twitter post as well ... I think he is getting desperate now.

JolieOBrien · 14/12/2019 04:55

Amanda Holden made a comment on Heart radio which I heard, about someone getting hold of a can opener and she was pleased other people felt the same as her. I am not a fan of Amanda's btw

ConfessionsOfTeenageDramaQueen · 14/12/2019 06:43

Apparently one of the reasons he wanted Rochelle rather than Amanda btw is because his daughter is Rochelle's agent...

motherheroic · 14/12/2019 07:41

His mask is slipping.

TreeTopTim · 14/12/2019 07:51

It would seem that a lot of the people who work with Phillip or itv have the same management team.

Dongdingdong · 14/12/2019 08:19

I do find the whole 'oh look at me hungover at work again aren't I funny' charade rather tedious.

It’s incredibly embarrassing - and all the more so because PS and Holly (and many of their viewers) think it’s oh so “hilarious” Hmm

Vulpine · 14/12/2019 08:21

Well getting pissed, staying up all night and coming to work with a hangover is very glamorous. Its definitely something i aspire to.

ManonBlackbeak · 14/12/2019 16:35

His daughter is Rochelle’s manager?! WTF. Wonder how she got that job... (Phils daughter not Rovhelle).

TwoMuchTwoYoung · 14/12/2019 17:46

I've just watched the ruth/ps clip on YouTube and I think Ruth comes across as rude. He was obviously told to cut her off as you can hear the music starting in the background and she was really snide and said I only had two more words to say.
She had been waffling on a lot as well.

FreeStar · 14/12/2019 19:07

Agree @TwoMuchTwoYoung

Guineapig456 · 14/12/2019 23:08

He’s telling his story in the Star on Sunday apparently, denying everything and saying they’re all a big happy family at This Morning. HW is also being quoted.

DaisyDreaming · 15/12/2019 19:49

@TeslaGirls how kind of her. Assuming she has family they must be proud that she helped so many in their darkest of times

JolieOBrien · 15/12/2019 20:10

Philip does drink too much wine imho You can see he has a wine face.Xmas Wink

Muminneedofadvicelol · 15/12/2019 22:57

I'm Usually quite a nice person when I see people having fun on the TV etc, but I CANNOT STAND PHIL AND Holly.

The way they go on and on about their Christmas break. I remember last year I had to work over Christmas and new year (I work in care, so it is an enjoyable Shift tbf) but I wanted to be home with my family that year. I put "This Morning" on television and there they were... Old Phil and SQUEEKIE Holly. They were laughing and joking and getting drunk on television because they were tasting the favourite "Festive Tipple". At the end of the program they said they would see us in the new year. They were so smug that it was sickening and I was beyond jealous lol. I don't like either of them at all Grin

JolieOBrien · 16/12/2019 06:43

@Muminneedofadvicelol

I cannot stand them gloating about all their expensive holidays and what they have purchased etc. Most of the people who watch the programme don't have that kind of money. They both have no idea what it is like to be poor ... I do and I haven't forgot my roots.

Butterymuffin · 19/12/2019 22:28

From today's Popbitch:
There's a This Morning team WhatsApp group called 'We Hate Phillip'.

PentreBachCymraeg · 20/12/2019 00:30

The Be Kind campaign they always seemed to promote.. I have a feeling he is far from a kind person. There is something about him that makes me feel quite uneasy. I can't watch him anymore.

JolieOBrien · 20/12/2019 04:29

I am recording This Morning to watch later each day because I like Eamonn and Ruth ... I hardly watch it when Philip the ego and simpering Holly are on.

MintyT · 20/12/2019 05:09

How did he get rid of Fern ( l love her) and Amanda

JolieOBrien · 21/12/2019 03:56

@MintyT

He is itv's blue eyed boy and has a lot of influence over them ... I can't see why because there are better male presenters about imho.

CardiFree · 22/12/2019 12:15

His blue-eyed boy days are well gone. And there's that weird insistence on having a younger co-host whose family he and his go on regular holidays with, including his boss, Holly's husband. All a bit incestuous and cliquey.

I vote for Ruth and a bit of a younger male eye-candy co-host. Why not? Pretty sure Ruth wouldn't exclude the audience with smug giggles and inside jokes.

ManonBlackbeak · 22/12/2019 13:22

Apparently there is a WhatsApp group for This Morning team members called 'We hate Phillip'!

JolieOBrien · 23/12/2019 02:29

@ManonBlackbeak

I am not surprised lol

I just watched him and his wife on what to buy at Christmas programme she seems nice and normal on there.
