Ant and Dec

Not sure if i am bu but at what point is ITV going to get some new presenters? Ant and Dec have been on our screens for years doing tons of programmes each year.

Same for Holly and Phil. At what point do itv bring in some fresh new talent? Instead if recycling the same presenters and programmes. I switched off from itv a couple of years ago cos i can't watch anymore. Its groundhog day. Aibu?

I hit peak Phil and Holly a long time ago. Same with Ant (but not Dec). YANBU

Katjolo · 13/12/2021 21:13

Agreed. Both pairs are extremely annoying! Nice to give others a chance.

DeclareThePenniesOnYourEyes · 13/12/2021 21:14

I have loved Dec since I was 11 years old. I will not have a bad word said about him ❤️❤️❤️❤️

😂😂😂😂

BakedTattie · 13/12/2021 21:14

I feel like Bradley Walsh is presenting everything just now

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 13/12/2021 21:15

Dec can put himself into any tv show he likes as far as I'm concerned.

The rest of them are just annoying as fuck.

FissionMailed · 13/12/2021 21:15

When people stop watching the shite they're presenting.

If view figures for this morning dropped off a cliff after Holly And Phil turned up, they'd have sacked then ages ago. Same as Ant and Dec, if people stopped watching their programs, they'd drop them very quickly.

TimeFlysWhenYoureHavingRum · 13/12/2021 21:23

Yanbu. I've never understood how people can bare watching hours and hours of the same old rubbish week after week, year after year. I actually find it quite dystopian to think of everyone staring at the same mindless celebrity twaddle every week almost as if it's designed to subdue them (not to mention all the adverts that are part and parcel of it all). I love TV and watch loads of on demand stuff but we stopped watching live TV (bbc / itv) years ago. It's all just so repetitive.

Willyoujustbequiet · 13/12/2021 21:59

I love Ant and Dec but Phil and Holly can get in the bin. Absolutely talentless

Mercurial123 · 14/12/2021 05:31

Most presenters are mediocre at best. Never understood the love for Ant and Dec. As for Holly and Phil I'd prefer to watch paint dry.

PheasantsNest · 14/12/2021 06:38

I love love love Ant and Dec. It's time Holly, Phil, Bradley Walsh, Dermot O' Dreary and Lorraine Kelly were put out to pasture.

RosieLemonade · 14/12/2021 06:53

I have never understood the appeal in any of these people.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 14/12/2021 06:53

They can keep Dec. He’s done nothing wrong. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Luffs Dec.

Justleaveitblankthen · 14/12/2021 07:15

Oh lord, I so agree! Ant and Dec because - amongst other things - they happily present a long running show, and accept huge paychecks that uses animal abuse for 'entertainment'..

and Holly and Phil because I am beyond sick of seeing them EVERYWHERE!
Is there nothing either of them won't stoop to for an extra few grand?
Still can't get over Phil's proclamation of how "Brave" he was to announce on TV he was Gay. Considering he interviews people everyday that have had the worst that life can throw at them and reports on tragic situations, it shows he is so far up his own arse to even notice..

Rant over.

Mummadeze · 14/12/2021 07:19

Love Stephen Mulhurn which I know isn’t the point of this thread. But he is so funny. Gino is good on Family Fortunes. I also thought Jason Mansford was a very good game show host. I never watch anything with Ant and Dec presenting really. I find them a bit bland. My DD loves them though.

Lampzade · 14/12/2021 07:20

I don’t mind Ant and Dec.
Phil and Holly …. can’t bear them .

SmallGreenStripes · 14/12/2021 07:23

Which one is Dec?

girlmom21 · 14/12/2021 07:23

ITV rotate loads of presenters but most of them just aren't very good.

lollipoprainbow · 14/12/2021 07:38

I'd love to see the bubble burst for Phil and Holly both so smug and have had it good for years being on every tv show going.

lollipoprainbow · 14/12/2021 07:40

@Justleaveitblankthen Phil's coming out was utter utter cringe! Him sitting there like a little boy while mummy Holly read out his statement and mummy Ruth coming in to hug him and say 'better now'. Urgh !!!

ginnig · 14/12/2021 07:41

i don't even mind them but for the love of god get some fresh faces

ginnig · 14/12/2021 07:44

If view figures for this morning dropped off a cliff after Holly And Phil turned up, they'd have sacked then ages ago.

I always wonder who watches this morning.

DorothyZbornakIsAQueen · 14/12/2021 07:45

They pride themselves on this 'ITV Family' thing. Makes me sick tbh.

Cannot bear Holly, Phil, Ant, Dec, Keith twatting Lemon, the Loose Women.

On every fucking ITV show.

Fingers in all the pies.

It's like this incestuous pit of boring, repetitive, shite.

onlyreadingneverposting8 · 14/12/2021 08:00

Personally I'd like to see some people with actual intelligence presenting. Phil I didn't mind until his "coming out" episode. I absolutely love some of the gay presenters we have on TV but coming out when you're still married and have been for 28 yrs just seemed a bit off.
Holly is utterly annoying and (maybe some envy here) - how has she managed to get herself millions a year being that dumb?
Any and Dec - just annoying now, and I hate what they present so...
I turned to Steph's packed lunch in the hopes of something better but have quickly realised that she is an AWFUL interviewer and not as bright as I thought. And the people they give airtime too....😱

Lalliella · 14/12/2021 08:03

@SmallGreenStripes

Which one is Dec?
@SmallGreenStripes Dec always always stands on the right. They stand in the order Ant left Dec right. All the time.

Just don't watch ITV. You have more choice than ever in what to watch and when.

There is nothing on the ITV schedule which I watch. Sometimes they do a decent drama which I'll watch on catchup, not live.
