Holly on This Morning

139 replies

Magicra84 · 05/05/2020 12:07

I do like watching This Morning but Holly dicking about so much is really pissing me off. She says inappropriate things for laughs but today she was trying to order food on her phone as they came in from the ad break. Then when Phil was doing a link, she tried completing the order. All while she was live on air. Ffs, have some professionalism.

They are both a pair of Muppets. How they are still presenting is beyond me. Smuggy McSmug the pair of them.

I've found my people , I find both Holly and Phil extremely irritating and patronising . I enjoy the concept of This Morning but Holly and Phil spoil it for me .

I don't like them... day time TV is utter shite. I wish they put on some education programs for the DC instead of giving links to YouTube channels or their on demand services which you have to sign up for.

At work we use MSN and when you go onto the internet the home page pops up, and i have noticed over the past few months that every day thaere is an article on either This Morning or Holly. MSN is bloody obsessed with them. Cant stand either of them and never click on the links.

incognitomum · 05/05/2020 12:38

Can't abide them. Much prefer Eamonn and Ruth.

Littleshortcake · 05/05/2020 12:39

Thank God for the remote control. U used to love watching it. They need a pair of fresh faces. Repeated snippets of crap tv. How much are they paid? The innuendos are daft. Bored of it.

Justsocross · 05/05/2020 12:45

Can’t stand them . They seem to think the world revolves adoringly around then . They need to go !!!! NOW

She really pissed me off last week when she laughed all the way through the segment with the woman doing yoga.
She came up with some bollocks about making fart noises in her head, but it just came across as so disrespectful.

Muh2020 · 05/05/2020 12:46

There's a lot of chat online as to reasons for all of this.
Have a look.

Littleshortcake · 05/05/2020 12:51

?? Intrigued

Neighbours87 · 05/05/2020 12:52

Can’t stand them especially hate when the turn up drunk after awards shows thinking it’s funny. If I’d did that at my job at best I would be sent to counselling unless I was fired

LuckyAmy1986 · 05/05/2020 12:54

Can’t stand either of them!!

MrsJoshNavidi · 05/05/2020 12:54

Bring back Richard and Judy!!

augustusglupe · 05/05/2020 12:56

Can’t stand them!! I can’t look at Schofield and his smug face. Haven’t really watched it since Fern left. I occasionally watch if Ruth & Eamonn are on.

Professionalism?

You do realise it's ALL scripted, don't you?

Holly didn't do that because she is unprofessional, she did it because that's what the script of the show told her to do Hmm

Weallhavevalidopinions · 05/05/2020 13:00

I don't watch it, can't stand the programme.

They get paid a lot of money for acting like muppets.

Tiredmum100 · 05/05/2020 13:00

I don't particularly like Holly or Phil either. I find Holly annoying and Phil is no hero in my eyes. I can't imagine visiting a patient in work and asking them to hold on whilst I complete a food order. Very unprofessional!

ArseholesOnToast · 05/05/2020 13:03

They really spoil This Morning for me. I only catch it occasionally and if it’s those two I switch over, if it’s Ruth and Eamon I don’t mind and will watch it.

Magicra84 · 05/05/2020 13:04

So the script is making her look like a knob. Sack whoever writes them!

Fern, I LOVED Fern!

missyB1 · 05/05/2020 13:06

Holly will have thought she was being hilarious and cool, and that the whole Country was so chuffed with her for being just an “ordinary mum” doing her food shopping.
They are a totally talentless pair who basically get paid a fortune for dicking around. Oh and even worse they are often downright rude to guests.

Liverbird77 · 05/05/2020 13:06

Love Eammon and Ruth and I wish they'd bring back Richard and Judy too.

missyB1 · 05/05/2020 13:07

I used to love Richard and Judy.

Thymelord · 05/05/2020 13:07

Holly didn't do that because she is unprofessional, she did it because that's what the script of the show told her to do

^ this. They script this bollocks (like the "oh we are still pissed from an awards do the night before" shite) because their fans lap it up.

Magicra84 · 05/05/2020 13:08

It was actually a takeaway order for Holly and Phil.

I loved Fern Britton! Definitely bring her back!
