To think This morning is a weird place

It’s just quite odd…all this with Philip Schofield, then Alison Hammond was brought in, talk of blackmail in the news and she’s not on this week anymore…what on earth goes on over there 🤷🏻‍♀️

I can't stand Eamonn. He is very bigoted. And you can tell, when he is on air, he is really biting his tongue.

Besides which he is on GB News when he's got over his bad health.

Not just me then, I haven't seen him on GB News good reason to carry on avoiding it.

I remember fondly an interview with a woman who wanted to convince people that they didnt need to eat, they could feed on cosmic goodness or some such shite.

Oh I remember that! She was a "Breatharian" who claimed to subsist entirely on "prana" (light).

oh I'd love to see that

In what way do you think Eamonn is bigoted?

If anyone finds it can they link it please? I’ve had a look but no joy.

I’ve got a massive soft spot and huge respect for Judy, she’s brilliant.

I think you're getting your dates mixed up?

Gino committed the burglary 25 years ago and went to prison for it. He later apologised to Paul Young, I believe Paul got most of his things back.

Stacey Young died 5 years ago.

So there was a big time difference between the burglary & Stacey's death.

Show quote history

Yes but music of hers was stolen that he didn’t get back, and he’s later said that now that she’s died it hurts that those parts of her are still missing to him. I suppose it’s the ongoing impact of a crime like that on a victim’s life.

Oh and news about Gino too..all in the same week. Nothing said about P.S by them and everyone over the top happy/Jolly the last couple of days..it’s like there’s always something behind the scenes doing down 🙈
I work afternoons-early evenings..I shouldn’t really watch this rubbish at all

Fako Di Tea leaf is a repugnant character, why someone enabled him into a hugely lucrative media career turning tricks is beyond me. Can only assume he had info on someone. He really is a low life.

DarlingG · 29/03/2023 19:00

Oh surprised to see the story of PS’s brother has just been on itv evening news! The quote of him knowing and not doing anything about it was on it too 😬 doesn’t look great for him

Yes I thought that too @DarlingG
I was surprised that ITV included it as it's very damning.

Oooerr...

ReformedWaywardTeen · 29/03/2023 19:20

See I like Gok Wan. And I would think in today's world, why does it always need to be presented by a male and female pairing?

Alison reminds me of Rusty Lee in that loud, unintentionally funny way. But a whole show of either is annoying. I'm not big on Josie Gibson either and Holly has played up to the dizzy, scatty Blonde thing so long it's tiresome now. She was a good kids presenter.

Fearne Britton was brilliant, natural, professional and they treated her very badly.

Phil Schofield can go now, from what I hear he should go into the ends of nowhere. Won't say it as I'm sure MN would get in trouble

But I would like Ruth and Rylan back. They wer w good and let us have Gok too.

I always think they'll end up with that Christine Lampard (eugh) or Ranvir Singh who is a dreadful presenter.

I do think Ruth should be back on it though, I was sad to see she was crying so much yesterday

I find Ruth as bad as her husband, very full of herself. I do like Fern Britton.

hot2trotter · 29/03/2023 19:43

Alison showed her true character on Saturday Night Takeaway a few weeks ago, before she realised she was being filmed, so I'd like to know what she's been blackmailed about.

And I'm hoping Schofield gets his comeuppance one day soon - injunction or no injunction.

Show quote history

My husband is a retired police officer, he always said it was really obvious how badly people were affected by a burglary, houses would go up for sale and old people would die. He said it was a pattern he saw over and over again so even if a burglar doesn't wreck the house (they often do) doesn't urinate or defecate on things (they often do) and they are insured and everything is replaced the damage is still there and has a massive effect on people. If you don't feel safe in your own home it's pretty bad isn't it.

@hot2trotter What did she act like on Saturday night takeaway, I haven’t seen it?

OP posts:
DarlingG · 29/03/2023 20:29

@Butidontwanttogotoarobbieconcert @hot2trotter she was checking into a hotel and was being a bit of a diva, refused to stay and went back to the car. I’m just going to watch it again

Ant & Dec finally get Alison Hammond on Undercover! | Saturday Night Takeaway

Alison Hammond believed she was in the Forest of Dean to film a VT for This Morning... little did she know, Ant & Dec were also nearby.Watch Full Episodes on...

Why do regionally born presenters slated so often? Like Eamonn, Christine, Lorraine? Just waiting for Gloria Hunniford to get chucked in there too just for good measure!

Surprised no one has mentioned Joel Domet’s own filmed “indiscretion” maybe they’ve gone with better the devil you know - he could be paired with Jason Manford to present.

Roussette · 29/03/2023 21:04

There is one person I like who I am not sure is mentioned on here. She stood in for Lorraine once for a week and she was really good
Lisa Snowden

Richard & Judy were journalists and it showed. They asked interesting questions and knew how to steer interviews to get interesting responses.

Agree so much with this. The present presenters are Pound Shop versions of R&J.

@LizzieSiddal They were good, but I think Ruth & Eamon were a good second?
