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 hope they both go. I can't stand them

Twos0ups · 21/09/2022 08:35

She’s a vacuous airhead, and he’s dodgy as fuck.
she’s only in the job because of her husband, and I’m betting he has far too much dirt on those high up in the bbc to be going anywhere soon!!

For the love of Mike...!

She was famous before she met her husband.

He has nothing to do with This Morning. Not now, not ever.

This Morning is made by ITV. The BBC has nothing to do with ITV.

I'm not a HW fan but lazy sexism does my head in.

Why would Holly's husband have dirt on people 'high up in the BBC' and if he did how does that affect his wife on ITV?
This is all getting confusing now.

NowThatsWhatICall22 · 21/09/2022 08:42

Your intelligent, considered post is let down by stating the wrong channel. It’s ITV, not BBC.

MsTSwift · 21/09/2022 08:43

It’s like the stocks in the market square isn’t it - “the people” turn on the once favoured but now done via social media. Happened throughout history it’s intriguing to watch

ImJustMadAboutSaffron · 21/09/2022 08:43

This Morning, when I have accidentally and rarely seen it, is just lowbrow fluff and nonsense with two overpaid and overexposed narcissists giggling like schoolchildren and thinking they are really, really important journalists. They're not, and I would like to see the back of them. Bring it back to Richard and Judy days and give the show some credibility. I don't want to have analysis of drossy TV shows like soaps and Love Island.

I think the "he" mentioned in that post was Schofield, not Holly's husband. Schofield used to work for the BBC.

May be google before you post such stupid comments. Holly was successful on TV before she met and married her husband.

Ah, all the dirt on Gordon the Gopher. That'll be it.

Lill7778 · 21/09/2022 08:46

For alot of people, I don't think this is necessarily about the queueing.

I suspect the big Schofield cover up has left a bad taste and people are just looking for any old band wagon to jump on to get them out.

As a mother i take a dim view of Holly's unwavering loyalty to a man who, clearly, manipulated and took advantage of a young lad who was only a teenager when he met PS. The MSM might have had to brush it under the carpet thanks to that shiny big super injunction but a quick look on twitter (and elsewhere) shows that the public hasn't forgotten.

You see it on here all of the time, people are judged harshly for their alliances to generally shitty people.

I don't think the queue business is even an issue, but I do think they're shitty people and I'm sick of seeing their smug faces on the telly.

Her maybe. Him? I doubt is big head will fit out of the door.

Twos0ups · 21/09/2022 08:50

I know it’s itv!! Plenty of crossover between the two channels. He has lots of connections in the industry and knows where the bodies are buried’
loving the fact that these two Boris brown nosers are getting a taste of their own medicine.

I hope their brand is damaged beyond repair!
As for the sexism criticisms, sheesh!
You should hear what we call Liz truss.😃

This will end like Caroline Flack if everyone keeps going on!!!

Yes very good point

it’s bullying. It needs to stop

NowThatsWhatICall22 · 21/09/2022 08:53

This thread has peaked now. It’s basically a pile on to a woman, as a PP highlighted.

Insert the name of a respected colleague at work or one of your best friends, every time HW is mentioned on here…how does that make you feel? How would it make them feel? Would it make a difference to you if you had to put your own real name and your workplace after your post?

This is essentially a workplace issue now for the people involved, it’s really turned nasty and personal on here and the usual cesspit of hate, Daily Fail.

Dear lord though, this yet another thread is otherwise bullying bonkers.

Tattle can be a proper cesspit I am surprised they've not called her worse things. They must think they are very clever coming up with that.

GoingOnce · 21/09/2022 08:58

Was it just bad luck that they were recorded going past the coffin? I thought film crews generally weren’t given access and that there was pooled access from one set of cameras.

Look, the media were given a free pass. So were MPs and their families/friends. It’s the way these things work and there are freebies in all lines of work. I don’t blame them for grabbing the opportunity.

However, This Morning didn’t seem to do anything with the footage they gained (if there was any?) and that’s what makes it look like a freebie with no purpose. We didn’t really need Holly and Phil to tell us what it was like as we were hearing endless vox pops on the news from people coming out and the interviews in the queue were everywhere. Plus anyone could tune into the live stream on the mourners filing past.

Without knowing how many other media people took the free pass, it’s tricky to judge. I think they got caught, people have had it in for them for a while and they are not journalists. There is something different about Nicholas Witchell being sneaked in for a look ahead of a news report, but This Morning is light entertainment and didn’t need to be there at all.

HeddaGarbled · 20/09/2022 23:22

I assume that it was the producers of Good Morning (Holly’s husband isn’t one of them) who sent them off to do that segment, rather than Holly & Phil arranging it, so it does seem to me to be unfair that they’re the ones copping all the flack. Presumably, that’s what she’s upset/angry about. They’ve been hung out to dry over the decisions of others who are currently now hiding behind them.

How far up your own arse would you have to be not to at least think "hang on, David Beckham spent hours in the queue maybe I should just double check with the producer because this might not go down well"
