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?

There have been so many threads about her on here alone and I can see that other sites such as tattle are mentioned to be doing the same . It just seems like a campaign against her and we don’t know how this may affect her it just feels really really unpleasant

I actually really don’t understand this situation. There is a media area and a public area. Phillip and Holly work for media and therefore went through the media area. The same as media go straight through for gigs and the like without standing around waiting or queuing. I really don’t get how people can get so irate over this?!

Same!
Baffling.

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"

MPs etc were allowed to jump the queue as well though ! I don’t see much about them mentioned and they are supposedly running the country so shouldn’t we be judging them harshly and not presenters of a tv programme who don’t hold the positions of responsibility and power they do ?

Seems that it’s just something to latch onto to beat them with because they are not well liked

Of course she won't walk, TM is her golden goose. She was absolutely dreadful when presenting on BBC1 lately (the Wim Hof cold thing) and has got the personality of wallpaper. I don't get the appeal of either presenter tbh, but they'll ride this out. If PS can get away with grooming and kept his job, he's not going to get the boot for this little puff of scandal.

The daily ITV schedule is purely aimed at catatonic residents in care homes, let's be honest. Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women are all utterly dreadful and both needed to come off air 10 years ago.

I am not a fan of either of them but people posting with glee about someone 'being taken down a peg or two' is deeply unpleasant.

Slidey23 · 21/09/2022 09:07

Some hateful and inappropriate personal comments here, whether you like them or not.

Yes very good point

@155ninjas Tough! Comes with being in the public eye. The sickly sweet image (for both of them) has been carefully crafted over the years! Now there’s a few chinks in it, and she’s crying and throwing her toys out of the pram.
Boo Hoo!

It all contributes and I do actually think it is bullying

I’m aware that they aren’t well liked and I’ve seen many comments saying people have met Holly and that she isn’t very pleasant but honestly there are so many threads lately just being horrible about her

We all know MPs are right up their own arses. When someone starts a thread about that (and I happen to see it) I will join in there too. Phil and Holly made an error and instead of recognising that they are trying to tough it out like Boris - and that never ends well.

What outcome do people want?

WatchoRulo · 21/09/2022 09:14

Also when did it become received and accepted "wisdom" that Caroline Flack killed herself because of "bullyiing" threads on here?

Twos0ups · 21/09/2022 09:16

Fwiw, I couldn’t give a shit about the queue jumping. Didn’t watch the funeral and am anti monarchy!
This is about a couple of tossers who are only in their jobs because of who they know!
Their bringing down is long overdue!

155ninjas · 21/09/2022 09:17

Not directly because of mn I expect but everything combined I would assume contributed to some extent

lollipoprainbow · 21/09/2022 07:18

I'm not sure why these useless tossers including Holly keep getting work.

Her husband

Indeed, as is the case with a few others.

I want someone to explain how Lorraine still has her show. That's such a mystery to me.

Unfortunately though there's only one person who knows for sure, and she can't tell us.

Wheresthebeach · 21/09/2022 09:27

The whole thing is bonkers. Why does anyone care? There was a VIP lane and they used it. Sure Beckham didn’t and he’s getting lots of good press but this backlash is very odd. I don’t watch their show so don’t have a view on that. Survey they weren’t the only ones?

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.

This sums it up for me, especially the bit about Holly’s unwavering loyalty to him.

It’s nothing to do with the queuing. But more about the massive cover-up back in early 2020 with Schofield and the runner and grooming. Phil was well and truly saved by Covid in that the Press’ focus changed. They’d only really got started with his misdemeanours.

All this bollox about him coming out, it’s been the worst kept secret for decades about him being gay. Even Joan Collins knew….Piers Morgan tried to stop her saying something (have a Google - clip can still be seen). His wife was his beard. Again this doesn’t bother me, people can do what they like in adult relationships. But it comes back to the Super-injunction with the runner and the fact he’d known him since 11. It’s very unsavoury. Something will come out about him eventually. I’m sure this is only the tip of the iceberg as far as he’s concerned.

Badger1970 · 21/09/2022 09:35

Totally agree with the shit hitting the fan for PS at some stage.

And I can equally never understand why Holly has clung to his side like superglue as it will bring her down too when it does eventually happen............
