Holly on This Morning

139 replies

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.

Just don't watch it if it annoys you that much.
Why start a thread?

Why not, it’s a welcome change from serious stuff?

To be a TV' presenter' on lightweight progs all you need to do look good on screen. Holly credentials for being on TV at all are blonde hair, big boobs and large, very white teeth. Same goes for the chap, apart from the boobs and hair I mean.

I used to like her, but the squeaky voice and gushing up to Philip - I think this morning needs new hosts.

Sparklingbrook · 05/05/2020 13:43

I had it on today for the first time in a while. I really liked the Kelly Hoppen bit and Trinny Woodhall makes me laugh with er 'nude lip' and 'beige trouser'.
Quite liked Vanessa Feltz and her agony aunt slot. She speaks a lot of sense.

So there's bit of the show that are ok IMO. Not mad on cookery, you can keep Gino D'Campo et al.
I like Alison Hammond and her celebrity interviews.

I cannot watch Eamonn and Ruth at all I think they are awful.

ChocolateQuiltedShitPig · 05/05/2020 13:45

Funnily enough I was just thinking this today. I never watch it but caught the Spin to Win part. She was dancing round like a twat.

Also lost respect for her supporting that cheating scummer

ChandlerIsTheBestFriend · 05/05/2020 13:47

Holly and Phil must have serious dirt on the big bosses at ITV. It’s the only explanation.

ChocolateQuiltedShitPig · 05/05/2020 13:51

@FreakStar Why read or add to the thread?

Magicra84 · 05/05/2020 13:51

Why come on this thread to tell me not to watch it if I don't like it? I like it except when Holly is acting like a knob. Don't come on my thread to tell me not to watch it if you don't like my thread ConfusedHmm

You always get people saying why watch it if you don't like it when you start a thread about TV programmes. Grin

I watch programmes that annoy me. There's a thread about BGT every Saturday night which i post on. I hate the programme and all the judges, and generally all the acts but it's really good fun to watch and post.

WickedlyPetite · 05/05/2020 13:56

I only have it on when Eamon and Ruth are presenting. In fact, I make a point of turning over if anything comes on with Holly or Phil, they both make me want to vomit.

Eamonn in the fashion segments is something to behold. He can barely hide his disinterest.

EveryDayIsADuvetDay · 05/05/2020 13:59

Sounds ghastly - I'll stick to the Today Program on R4

YgritteSnow · 05/05/2020 14:01

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

Can't you just say? Why the mystery?

I can't stand either of them, the cheesy "look how drunk we are" nonsense is unwatchable. I always think you have to be really easily pleased to find these two amusing in any way.

Summersunandoranges · 05/05/2020 14:02

Can’t stand them both! Ruth and Eamonn are much better.

It’s the knowing cheeky glances they give each other when one of them says a scripted innuendo.

I don’t think Phil is brave either - he masked his cheating by coming ‘out’. I switch off if they are on

Kitchendiscodiva · 05/05/2020 14:05

Bring back Richard and Judy!! Yes !! Mind you, I'd rather Holly and Phill than any of that Loose Women crap any day !

Sparklingbrook · 05/05/2020 14:06

Oh no I am going to hell. I watched LW today and thought it quite entertaining.

I will kneel on pencils all afternoon to make up for it.

God she irritates me beyond belief always has done, so unbelievably smug with her perfect life. Completely unprofessional and has only got every job going thanks to her producer husband. She annoyed me more than ever today!!

Willowmartha1 · 05/05/2020 14:26

@cornersteps rubbish this wasn't scripted it was them both being completely unprofessional as per usual this wouldn't happen with Ruth and Eamonn.

happinessischocolate · 05/05/2020 14:27

I used to like when John Leslie (I know that’s a bit controversial!) and Fern did it.

Same, John Lesliehas to leave because of the 'scandal' groupies girls constantly getting naked around him and yet Phil apparently groomed a young lad and that's just fine and he's brave for admitting his gay 🙄

CoronaMoaner · 05/05/2020 14:29

God I hate them too. Holy’s stupid squealing to everything. Phil’s drone like stare at the camera when he’s not talking.
Switched off a while ago because of them.

Willowmartha1 · 05/05/2020 14:33

Magicra84 yes her silly dancing to spin to win is super annoying plus the childish sniggering during the Kelly hoppen segment was pathetic too.

happinessischocolate · 05/05/2020 14:35

True although if people object to Phil and Holly then we should stop watching, falling viewer numbers is the only way they'll get replaced.

We should make a point of watching when anyone but them is presenting, and all switch to another programme when it's the gruesome twosome Grin

WhentheRabbitsWentWild · 05/05/2020 14:35

Gone right off her and never liked Philip much

Both need to grow up .

The reason she is on everything is because her husband is head of some department at ITV so puts his Mrs forward for most things .
