Holly and Phil - new dynamic

51 replies

Rubberblubberwhale · 07/09/2020 22:18

In noticing a new dynamic between Holly and Phil? She seems less engaged with him and he looks a bit worn down/ eager to please/ like the underdog? Not sure if I'm imagining it or if something has changed? That easy friendship doesn't seem to be there to me just now.

How is his sexuality anything to do with the nation? Is it a requirement of his job to be straight?

And, of course - Jamie is infinitely more talented than She Who Cannot Be Named . . .

He really did a pretty good series on his iPhone (or whatever it was), whereas the Other One got the programme whs whined on for and failed miserably.

I find This Morning nauseating and tired and I think they need a change from Holly and Phil.

But, dear god, who keeps giving Josie Gibson slots? She might just be the most irritating ‘presenter’ they have ever had. She’s so fake.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 07/09/2020 23:30

I think you are being deliberately obtuse seayork. Nobody gives a monkey's whether he is straight, gay or bi.

What people don't like is deceit and manipulation. Real or apparent.

Can't stand either of them, the stupid giggling and turning up on the show pretending (or maybe not) to still be drunk after the night before, If I turned up for work in that state I'd be sent home pending a disciplinary, I wish they'd just fuck off to the far side of fuck.

Wow Tittle Tattle, will look another day at that.

sst1234 · 07/09/2020 23:32

Didn’t realize the dumbed down crap that is that tv show still exists. In this day and age how do they get viewers to tune into that drivel.

vipersputpaidtomylastusername · 07/09/2020 23:34

Can someone summarise the goss from Tattle please?

GlitterToast · 07/09/2020 23:35

I'd also like to know the Tattle gossip... Smile

@Foxinthechickencoop

I’m not convinced about Philip schofield being gay. It’s very convenient that he says he isn’t ready for a relationship with a man.

Think about it. If You leave your wife of 30 odd years for another women or because you are bored, you get slated as a mid life crisis sleazy cheater, and that would be harmful to his career given a mostly female audience or a certain age, lots of whom will have had the dirty done to them by their ex husbands etc.

However

Leave your wife, and say you are gay and only just coming out due to societal pressure in previous times when you were young, and ta da! Everyone thinks you are so ‘brave’ and they all feel sorry for you and try and sympathise with your internal anguish. Plus you get to carry on flirting with your younger co star without any raised eyebrows.

If you ask me he has a brilliant publicist/ manager.

I am expecting him to decide he is actually Bi sexual soon, and then shortly afterwards we’ll see him with some 25 year old wanna be female celebrity. And he’ll just look like a creep like Gary Linekar 🤷🏼‍♀️

He hadn't left her though. He has a flat in London and always has done but he said himself he hasn't moved out of the marital home

@Gertie75

Holly and Phil were stifling their giggles when Josie said members had risen at the naturist camp.
I bet that was pre-arranged. Sooo predictable!
Quietlyloud · 08/09/2020 00:23

seayork2020 I’m sorry, where did anyone say anything about straight being a requirement? Did you have trouble understanding the context in the comments about his coming out?

Runningjump · 08/09/2020 00:25

Remember when Holly reported her car as stolen and it turned up parked at her husband's workplace?

Wonder why she would do that?

@BlueTuesday20

what RightOnTheEdge said. See Tattle Life for details. You may disappear down that rabbit hole for some time though.
Bloody hell you weren't joking. I've lost about 4 hours of my life on this site since I clicked in last night. All the goss on instagrammers etc as well! Shock not sure me discovering this site is a good thing for my productivity levels!!
LouisBalfour · 08/09/2020 11:18

Holly usually looks gorgeous. She needs to sack the stylist for today’s outfit.

CoolYourBeansMySon · 08/09/2020 11:31

I can't stand them. I haven't watched TM in years because of them.

Riv12345 · 08/09/2020 11:33

I'm not sure about hollys outfit today
Not liking the shoes

LouisBalfour · 08/09/2020 11:40

The Puritan blouse and the flat shoes! Horrid.

SentientAndCognisant · 08/09/2020 19:02

Holly looks like a sack of spuds, and she always looks so smug

GlitterToast · 08/09/2020 21:08

You think that Holly looks like a sack of spuds? I'm not her biggest fan, but she is stunning. I would love to look half as good as her.

Idontlikeyoghurt · 12/09/2020 00:35

She's not what I'd describe as stunning. Pretty in a very ordinary way but nothing special. That's my opinion though.

Riv12345 · 12/09/2020 06:36

Wonder what they are like in person

I've heard holly is a bit of a diva!

Philip is suppose to be really tiny

SentientAndCognisant · 12/09/2020 13:35

Sack of spuds. Yes. She’s got that queen bee I’m so lovely vibe

Iminaglasscaseofemotion · 12/09/2020 13:41

I can't watch the two of them and never could. They are so childish and I find them quite uncomfortable viewing.
