Where’s Holly?

She’s not been on for two days, Philip S is even worse than ever and now they’re getting rid of basically the only two good presenters on it.
What a train wreck

[quote lollipoprainbow]@Rhine couldn't have put it better myself !! You can bet your bottom dollar that little weasel PS is right behind this. [/quote]
Of course he is. He’s always been smug and arrogant, but is so much worse now because I feel he believes he’s untouchable.Coming out publicly (don’t get me started on that) means people feel they can’t criticise him without being seen as homophobic. Never mind he lied to his wife for 25 fucking years...

Before that the press were gunning for him. They knew about the relationship with the runner, and the bullying allegations at This Morning.

Get the impression RL and EH have been on the sidelines for a while now as they don't fit in with the smug little this morning family ! I bet they hated being wheeled out to shake PS hand after his coming out show ! They almost spoke through gritted teeth.

@EscapeTheCastle I'm allowed my opinion ! Can't stand all the sycophantic comments if 'ooh hope Holly is ok' like there's some big drama.

lollipoprainbow · 20/11/2020 08:16

@EscapeTheCastle sorry that was meant for @BloggersBlog !!

I think normally if they're ill or if it's a childcare issue, they would say so.

It is a little strange they have just said nothing. If she was isolating, they'd definitely say.

Not a huge fan, but much prefer her to PS. The stand ins are terrible and are managing to highlight my dislike for him. Don't know what's happened to him recently, He comes across as so incredibly smug and self satisfied and I hear (unless you're HW) he's a nightmare to work with.

HunkyPunk · 20/11/2020 08:55

Don't often watch, but take an interest! Have Philip and Rylan ever been on together? Would that work?

eenymeenyminyme · 20/11/2020 09:10

I have it on in the background while working from home to replace office background banter so like having a variety of voices. I love P+H but sometimes the way E speaks to R makes my toes curl. Don't want it to change though as no-one likes everyone in their office and it keeps it authentic Grin

Doglove · 20/11/2020 09:17

I’ve met both Davina and Holly. Davina was when I was around 18 and a group of us had free tickets to be in the audience of a show she was presenting, fairly cringe but a good laugh. She was so so lovely, very kind to everyone and down to earth.

Holly was very very confident, in a fairly bolshy way, I can’t say the circumstances as it was work related, but I wasn’t sure what to make of her, it was a shame as I’d loved her on tv.

Phil obviously pulls all the strings and has a reputation for being vile at work, didn’t Rylan leave for that reason? R seems lovely too and is good friends with E&R

Love the way posters talk like they know all these presenters and all the details of their life. I wonder what papers they read. 🤔

My aunt met Holly, also through work and said she was really lovely. But unless you spend lots of time with people, you don’t really know them.

Helendee · 20/11/2020 09:29

I love Ruth and would love to see her present with Alex Jones.

Pumkinseed · 20/11/2020 09:31

I don't really watch it but don't people think that she is entitled to some privacy. There were reasons why I was absent from work without sharing with the office why (MH crisis and miscarriage).

Some people are really over invested.

Doglove · 20/11/2020 09:33

@BadTattoosAndSmellLikeBooze I don’t read newspapers and watch TM as I’m home with a toddler at present.
It’s true about spending more time with people though to know them properly, I was disappointed by the initial impression though and really loved her on tv before that.

She did mention last week she had days off this week.

2020WTF · 20/11/2020 09:52

@BadTattoosAndSmellLikeBooze, is the paper you're referring to the one which makes huge generalisations and assumptions based on very little?... Hmm Hmm pot and kettle spring to mind.

I don't read the DM. Just to be clear. I have a right to form an opinion on someone whether I know them personally or not. It might not be correct or it might be bang on. Who knows? PS, is himself, known to voice his opinions of people/other celebs via social media he knows very little about and in quite an aggressive manner.

Rhine · 20/11/2020 16:18

I don’t read the DM either, however Phil’s behaviour has been widely discussed on Twitter. I can only presume he cut some kind of deal to come out to The Sun to prevent them reporting on something else.

Doglove · 20/11/2020 18:10

@Rhine Yes, all sounds very dodgy!

Miip · 20/11/2020 18:13

Tattle life have been saying she's pregnant for a couple of months.

I've met her too and have no wish to ever do so again. It was in a professional capacity so I can't say much but, no. No thank you.

Igglepiggle78 · 21/11/2020 20:57

@Miip Yes me too, it was in a work situation, I worked for someone she was friends (acquaintances? 🤷🏻‍♀️) with...bad vibes! Not what she comes across like on television..great actress though 😬
Can you divulge any extra?

BadTattoosAndSmellLikeBooze · 22/11/2020 00:52

Mystery solved and not particularly exciting.

This must have been very disappointing for many on this thread. 🤪

Yes it does seem that way.

I read that Holly's daughter was unwell do she stayed home with her for 2 days.
