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?

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

Caroline Flack was a damaged, fragile individual. I can't be certain she read Mumsnet but I am willing to bet she didn't. I think her tragic death was part of a massive and complicated jigsaw.

Gosh, I wonder why all the pressure here is being put in the woman?

Not that she did anything wrong, they were filming a segment and the evidence is there that's what they did so I'm not sure why people have nothing better to do than hound a woman with a public profile. Oh hang on, because misogyny.

Yellowbirdflies · 21/09/2022 10:40

I think it's time to stop all this now.
Please just leave it.
Too many unkind words.
Maybe go and do something kind instead.
Seriously.
We can have opinions and views, yes, but these platforms can make matters worse.
It's all spinning the wrong way.
Let's just leave it now.

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

That's fair.
Gordon was always a creepy fucker.

Are you not able to understand nuance?

No nuance needed when it comes to reading your posts. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck …

I never liked Gordon. I did, however, love Flat Eric!

where the fuck are mn hq? I have reported several posts, so they’re seemingly comfortable with their platform being used to trivialise suicide. Okayyy

HairyMothballs · 21/09/2022 10:47

I must clean my glasses, I though this said "Will Holly WANK?"

I cannot bear that odious pair (her and Schofield)

They don't give a shit when it comes to threads like this.
Know from experience with the Insta threads on here which are equally as vile.

Yellowbirdflies · 21/09/2022 10:49

@GhostFromTheOtherSide
I agree with you.
I've reported too.

For all of those saying that it "was the producers that made em do it guvnor" with regards to the queue thing AND the totally tone deaf win your bills comp is that neither one of them thought "hang on a minute, this is totally wrong and how is this going to look?"

Their whole gig is about image. Now either both of them are too thick and out of touch to have seen the optics of both scenario's or they are so up themselves that they think they are soooooo loved and couldn't possibly be criticised!

They could have said no to both gigs, it's not as if either of them need the money and if they had resigned or been sacked for taking that moral stance, they would have been lauded from the rooftops.

Or they did say something and the producer said tough, if you don't want the job plenty of others do.

She'd be a fool to leave because of virtue signalling dickheads with Internet access.

nokidshere · 21/09/2022 10:58

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?

Absolutely this. Everyone's gone bonkers. Even if they did queue jump, who cares? It's hardly a hanging offence. Losing your job because you skipped a few places in a queue is beyond ridiculous, people need to get a grip.

TheOGCCL · 21/09/2022 10:59

Holly and Phil just seem a bit dated these days. They’ve been over saturated with This Morning and Dancing on Ice. If I were them I’d try doing some stuff apart, maybe with more diverse partners. Their older man/younger woman thing is very 1988. If you look at Steph’s Packed Lunch, it’s bursting with diversity and variety.

That’s more why I think they should move on, not a moral witch hunt, although as did many I did find Phil’s public and OTT coming out hard to stomach.

They have a lot of power. They can and do refuse to do items on the show (or atheist influence the angle). I'm not interested in the pile on but they did misjudge the reaction to their visit.

TrueNorthernBird · 21/09/2022 11:02

*at least... no idea as to religious persuasions!

Sparklingbrook · 21/09/2022 11:03

If they put that on ITV between 10-1230 every day I'd be watching. It seems vibrant in comparison.

You still have no idea what they thought of it and if they objected. People on here seem to think they are mind readers as they can absolutely tell us what people think and say when they have no idea.

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

Twos0ups · 21/09/2022 11:13

I don’t watch any daytime tv except pm’s questions. It’s comedy gold!

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.

JFC - this comment is the pinnacle of the vitriol you’ve shown on here.

How is that vitriol exactly?
