Lots of comments about Holly W supposedly saying she’s going to quit This Morning..do you think she will, why? Would that be a good move?

I don't think she will go, she will prob get a payrise, ITV love her for some reason. I think they are pretty shocked with the backlash as they assumed they are both q loved by the public. I actually don't think the queue thing is the big issue, I think people disliked them already and are just using this to try and get rid of them. I would be happy to see them both off the screen tbh, give some other presenters a go.

KermitlovesKeyLimePie · 21/09/2022 11:46

@ancientgran You quite rightly said that no one knows what went on BUT if the producers did say what you suggested, anyone with an ounce of self awareness or moral decency would have told them where to stick their job.

As I said in my first post, they are hardly on the breadline and need the weekly wage, none of this would have happened and I'm willing to bet that those who don't like them would have had a lot of respect for that.

They would hardly have been down the job centre signing on would they?

puttingontheritz · 21/09/2022 11:47

The OP asks if her leaving would be a good move. Maybe for ITV. She presents an image of herself as being pretty wholesome, and this has tarnished her image for some. It's a misstep somewhere, either the production company not getting out a statement fast enough, or them being there in the first place. Clearly she was wearing a mask in Westminster Hall because she just had fillers, you can see that she has a very swollen lower face on today's programme. Perhaps it's time for a change either getting rid of the programme, or changing presenters.

Peoplepissmeoff · 21/09/2022 11:48

I don't think she'll walk but I wish she would!

MorningAfterAnxiety · 21/09/2022 11:53

@puttingontheritz I really don't think that was why she was wearing a mask. She was being filmed outside on the same day and she looked normal. I think she looks a little bit tired today because I suspect she's been very upset. As someone who is currently struggling a lot with their MH, I find it all quite disturbing to witness.

If I'm watching TV at that time I watch BBC2, news and politics. Not always perfect but worth watching.

I never really get to watch TV in the morning any more,I used to like Homes Under the Hammer.

I never watch TM. Honestly!! But I have just turned it on because of curiosity. They’re talking to Natalie Imbruglia! Does Holly always look so chipmunky? All manner of fillers going on there, her lower face looks like a ventriloquist’s dummy.

Veeragall · 21/09/2022 12:05

The vitriol against Holly on here is shocking. She's a tv presenter presenting a programme. If you don't like her or the programme just switch off.

Oh absolutely, totally agree - I have zero knowledge about how they felt about this item. I do however have knowledge about how the show works and the level of presenter input as I once worked on it.

So we agree that you have no idea how they felt or what they said.

Strongly rumoured as to why she wore the mask at the funeral., she’d just been botoxxed up!

If there is an aspect you don't like of a job you enjoy doing and are well paid for you have to balance up what to do. You might give up a well paid job you enjoy because you don't want to run a competition or join a priority queue. It doesn't mean everyone has to make that decision.

Maybe people would respect their decision, maybe others would laugh at them for being fools.

Who needs men to belittle women when we do it so much better ourselves. Go women.

kateandme · 21/09/2022 12:15

What was the spin to win controversy?

KermitlovesKeyLimePie · 21/09/2022 12:15

@ancientgran Oh please. Just because you have a vagina doesn't exempt you from criticism.

PS has had his fair share of vitriol thrown at him too, and many are calling him out also on this thread.

I do agree that the OP should have named them both in the title and post though.

iolaus · 21/09/2022 12:19

No, she'll offer to then there will be posts on social media of 'Holly don't go' she'll say she listened to the fans (ignoring the ones who said for her to go) and stay as she's 'proved' how much she's loved

tellmewhyidontlikemondayfunerals · 21/09/2022 12:22

She posted pics on Instagram of cards her kids wrote to the queen

🙄

derxa · 21/09/2022 12:23

she was just another one of the many people who died that day. No more, no less. 🙄I wonder why 500 Heads of State went to HM funeral. My DF had a big funeral but I didn't notice Barack Obama there on the day.

Yellowbirdflies · 21/09/2022 12:28

@Twos0ups
Not interested in your "get down with the kids" phrases.
What are you on about?!
Polishing crowns?!
I'm interested in what you have to say about suicide and how you support people who are struggling with depression?
Surely you agree with showing and offering compassion?
Vulnerable people read these posts on MN.
Be careful how you choose your words.
Time for your "soup" now @TwosOups and then maybe an afternoon nap.🤫

Yes she is, I for one can not think of anything worse than queing for to see a coffin. Each to their own.

However, I think that this has hit a nerve with people, as it really highlights the differences between the haves and have nots. Yes, we know the elite exist, however, when you see their priviledge in motion, it really hits home.

For a lot of people, it is not the queue jump, it is the entitlement.

Or I am totally wrong!

Lightningscaresme · 21/09/2022 13:00

She seemed totally fine this morning, chirpy and not upset, I couldn’t come back on I don’t think

Was schofe ever investigated over the grooming allegations?

Turndownthatthatcrap · 21/09/2022 13:47

@Twos0ups Not sure, it was getting to that point I think, but covid came along and saved him.
Talks of a petition to replace them with Eamon and Ruth..that would be justice served
