To hope that this is the end of Holly & Phil on This Morning?

Absolute backlash on Twitter as it emerges that Holly & Phill queue jumped to see the queen at her lying in state. Lots of comparisons to Beckham and memes about we skip any queues.

The This Morning office has put out a statement saying they are attending in their capacity as broadcasters.AIBU to hope that this is the end of shrieky Holly and slimey twat Phil?

They'll survive the backlash

Zingy123 · 17/09/2022 23:19

Unfortunately they will survive the backlash. They are too precious to ITV.

I bet Beckham didn't know there was a 'fast-track' route Grin

I really hope it IS the end for them. But I bet it won't be.

I would like to see Alison Hammond on there with either Rylan or Craig Doyle.

He did , an MP offered to get him in as one of their guests but he declined .

Funny how the statement says they were there on a press pass but we haven’t seen other tv presenters doing the same?

Surely if there’s press accreditation they haven’t given an exclusive to This Morning for inside the laying in state, have they??

Wishful thinking I guess, who on earth is tuning in to watch them! They are just dreadful.

Wonder if Holly and Phil interviewed Becks on what the queue was actually like

Vapid and entirely boring the pair of them. I hope they disappear into obscurity sooner rather than later

Not if public opinion really turns against them, this is really the biggest news story at the moment, to have caused such a backlash may well stick in the long run even if it’s not immediately.

caringcarer · 17/09/2022 23:36

I think it is disgraceful to jump the queue unless disabled who can't queue.

Rosewaterblossom · 17/09/2022 23:38

This Morning over the summer is so much better with mixes of Alison/Dermot/Rochelle/Ruth etc (but not Vernon I cannot stand him!)

I don't mind Holly but cannot stand Philip. Maybe they should change it up and not have two main presenters and instead have regular presenters but change it up like they do in the holidays.

Alison and Rylan would be fabulous.

TrashyPanda · 17/09/2022 23:42

Will they actually run this, now there is such a huge backlash? Hope not.

cant stand either of them.They really love themselves and it shows.
time for a change.

Show quote history

I met Alison a few years ago . She was genuinely lovely and happy to chat, she didn’t have to but she was really nice to the people who recognised her. All I have ever read on here about Holly is that she’s apparently unpleasant to everyone??? Surely she can’t be that stupid to not realise people will talk and it will get out that she has two different personalities?! Is she really that bad ?

😆I saw this on LL too. Perfect quote.

Justleaveitblankthen · 17/09/2022 23:52

I saw their faces in the Hall and switched over. Is it true they have filmed this for a This Morning segment? Jesus wept.
Can't stand Pip, "I'm so brave to come out as Gay"Scholfield and is Holly really not so nice? I have heard this a lot, but never any details.
If so, then she really knows how to act it up on the telly.

Oh I wonder, they’ve already said it’s for a special show on Tuesday, if they don’t people will know why!

I’d love to know what conversations are going on at ITV now, they can’t have seen this coming at all.

Womencanlift · 18/09/2022 00:01

I am hoping that having two pretty big PR disasters in as many weeks, first the spin to win energy bills prize and now this, means that the tide is starting to turn

Phil has been lucky that all his alleged misdemeanours have stayed fairly out the spotlight, unless you read certain websites, but now is the time for them both to disappear

TooBigForMyBoots · 18/09/2022 00:03

Why did I think they were queuing like regular folk?ConfusedConfusedConfused

LinMortisanass · 18/09/2022 00:05

Oh I hope so. Can't stand either of them.

SouperNoodle · 18/09/2022 00:08

From all the celebrity threads on MN, it's widely known that Holly is apparently a mean girl and actually horrible irl. Whether it's true or not, I have no clue but it wouldn't surprise me. There's just something about her and Phil that I can't stand and the queue jumping just confirms my suspicions that they're actually twats.

He should already have one. He’s a more deserving than many who already have.
