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...

I think Holly is easy to work with as she does as she's told by him.

Tiredandgrumpytonight · 08/12/2019 10:35

He won’t want to work with anyone serious because then he won’t be able to just giggle all morning.

Regarding Gino. Now this is just thoughts in my head with no base other than reading this thread so please dont think this is def true.

So on Celebrity Juice Keith Lemon joked that Gino was really from Sheffield, making it sound so silly. Now perhaps he really is from Sheffield (or somewhere else in the UK) and it was about to become known, but to stop the story coming out Keith (or Leigh Francis in his real name) made the joke so the story would just seem silly?

As I said this is just something I'm now wondering and have no real reason for it other than PP saying that Gino has the worst fake Italian accent. It has just got me wondering.

Won't be watching them again after the cringey brown nosing to Boris. Tory wankers.

JumpyLiz · 08/12/2019 11:21

I imagine Gino's prison record will verify where he's from.

TheQueef · 08/12/2019 11:22

Gino burgled Paul Youngs house. Did time for it.
Now I'm all for rehabilitation but Paul Youngs house? That's the line Gino.

JumpyLiz · 08/12/2019 11:26

I could forgive him for the burglary, mouths to feed and all that. But stubbing a fag out on Paul's bedroom carpet? No mercy.

SouthWestmom · 08/12/2019 11:28

It turns out that along with a number of pricey goods Gino also made off with recordings of the singer’s wife Stacey, which have never been recovered or returned – a pill that has become even more biter to swallow following her death in January.
The two men had previously made peace, but Paul has revealed his wife’s death has brought up painful reminders of what he’s lost.
The 62-year-old told The Mirror: ‘When Stacey went there were certain bits of music I never got back. ‘Let’s say that – and that hurt me.’
Speaking of the burglary itself, he said: ‘I try to keep a light-hearted attitude on that. He gets enough stick on social networking – he doesn’t need my help as well.’

Cannot stand the twat. He knows exactly what he is doing with his stupid 'naughty' slip ups but I guess the bored housewives love it .

DryHeaving · 08/12/2019 12:31

Ah, I'd forgotten that about Gino. I wonder if they will mention the allegations on Mondays show

CoolCarrie · 08/12/2019 13:53

Fern was lovely, warm and has a kindly manner, she was treated very badly and possibly her husband is has the mind set of “keep your friends close and your enemies closer”, he wants the work , exposure and the money too.

CoolCarrie · 08/12/2019 13:55

And I very much doubt anything will be said on Monday, what can he say?

Evilmorty · 08/12/2019 15:47

On the contrary WeeBitSleepy my family member worked with him daily in the earlier years, my friend who was made redundant worked with him more recently. Both liked him actually (even though he deleted friend off FB) and when I met him myself he was nice. I haven’t said anything about “he didn’t smile” so he must be x,y and z. I’ve gone on evidence I’ve witnessed now with adult eyes and not through what both of them have told me about working with him - that the things he expresses towards his interviewees is insensitive, rude, aggressive and sometimes intent to cause shame.

Evilmorty · 08/12/2019 15:51

I used to use the back of old Going Live scripts for drawing paper, that’s the era I am talking about. He wasn’t exactly doing hard edged interviews with sex victims then so I suppose it more difficult to get a measure of the man.

Actionhasmagic · 08/12/2019 15:52

After his appalling show of inequality when interviewing leaders and the fucking selfie - I’ve lost all respect for him. Used to love him!

astralweaks · 08/12/2019 16:02

Imagine, a selfieHmm He really is a small toad.
shudder

astralweaks · 08/12/2019 16:04

Schofield must be less than happy to cast an eye on Twitter.

Emmapeeler1 · 08/12/2019 16:11

I think Gordon carried Phil in that closet Grin

astralweaks · 08/12/2019 16:25
Grin
RuffleCrow · 08/12/2019 16:33

Schofield made himself clear to me back in the 00s when the anti capitalism protests were in full swing. He was like "what are they doing? Why don't they just stop?"

Er maybe because they have a cause they believe, in Phil. Hmm

lilgreen · 08/12/2019 18:56

I used to love This Morning when R&J were presenting and also Fern. Now I only see it occasionally in a school holiday and it’s been so dumbed down. Can’t believe it’s still on air.

AndWhatnot · 08/12/2019 19:02

Going back to that insufferable twat, Gino - does anyone remember that dreadful ‘joke’ he made on Celebrity Juice about licking Nutella off his female cousin’s privates?

beanaseireann · 08/12/2019 19:46

I find him smarmy.

Fastsazer · 08/12/2019 21:49

I like Phil I am sure he’d be gutted to have offended anyone sorry but all sounds very nit picky and bitter jealousy Phil and holly make a great team as presenters and I don’t know anyone who says otherwise everyone makes slip ups makes us human so give him a break sorry to disagree XN

augustusglupe · 09/12/2019 00:33

I miss lovely Denise Robertson too.
Love Fern, she was on this morning interviewing Alastair Armstrong. She has such a relaxed, sincere style. I find her so calming to watch.
I stopped watching this morning years ago. I remember when it started in 88 I’d just gone on maternity leave before having DD. I love Richard & Judy, I know Richards a bit Partridge, but he’s ok.

SoleBizzz · 09/12/2019 00:52

Haven't watched TM much for years because I couldn't stand Fern,PS or Holly. Holly seemed much better on IACGMOOH and i enjoyed her presenting style.

Loved Richard and Judy especially their book club.

Love Ruth and Eammon too.
