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 🤷🏻‍♀️

One of my friends was at the same venue as HW (who was at a party) She apparently had a case of the snuffles in the toilet cubicle. She must have had a very runny nose...

AintNobodyHateMeBetter · 02/04/2023 11:02

PS and HW are completely out of touch and the "relatable" act of theirs has become nauseating. They sit on their sofas debating topics such as the cost of living crisis whilst HW lives in a mansion with pool overlooking the Thames. Her "sad face" during these topics just comes across insincere and is patronising. Their giggly "we're best of friends" duo act has become tedious now. Whenever they are both on I have to switch off.

NillyNoMates · 02/04/2023 11:20

I’ve not watched TM for years. I don’t in any way find it a relatable show.

Inkanta · 02/04/2023 11:22

I can't imagine PS can return now. I know he's not the one in court - it's his brother, but I know I would cut myself off from a family member straight away. Ethics feel wrong and we all know PS could be the one in court if the runner story is true.

bringbacksideburns · 02/04/2023 11:49

He’ll be back! After Easter. Definitely.

It’s very weird.

@bringbacksideburns How do you know?

How is this thread still here?

ChangedmynameagainforChristmas · 02/04/2023 14:25

It's still here because the answers are becoming more and more salacious and for some strange reason OP keeps pushing the agenda nudge nudge

Butidontwanttogotoarobbieconcert · 02/04/2023 14:26

@BillLius Why not?

@BillLius Why not?

Well, I’m waiting for the deletion message once the lawyers get involved. There are some serious accusations being made.

GonnaGetGoingReturns · 02/04/2023 15:52

Why was my message deleted?! Was it because I called HW a rude name or alluded to her activities outside work - or to do with her after work associated socialising?!

There’s so much nepotism in tv and film, I know this from first hand as DB and some friends work in it. He’s lucky, as he gets on with most people, doesn’t cause trouble and therefore gets repeat work but there are some very cliquey jobs where if you mess up/or are a certain type then you’ll either stay/go, as in TM’s case.

its interesting - on this thread or a similar one someone mentioned Andi Peters who keeps his nose clean and life outside of work out of the media. If he can do this why can’t Phil et al?

grayhairdontcare · 02/04/2023 16:41

Well with news on the new safeguarding law today. I honestly don't see how PS can keep his job

Butidontwanttogotoarobbieconcert · 02/04/2023 18:19

@ChangedmynameagainforChristmas What?

OP posts:
Butidontwanttogotoarobbieconcert · 02/04/2023 18:21

@BillLius True, I wish it could just stick to the original thread, it’s quite interesting and pointless if it gets deleted.

Say everyone gets sacked from TM (we can but dream!) - what's everyone's ideal line up? I need a bit of time to think about mine Grin

Surely it is long overdue just to end the show.

I just saw this line in my watched threads-I’d totally watch if they were presenting!

As I think has been mentioned before there’s a need for a magazine type programme.

Lots of people I know (mostly women) enjoy Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women as it doesn’t require much intelligence, covers some current topics plus gossip and giggles. I can’t stand I either of these programmes but Z list celebs love it as it gives them a platform.

I think sadly from the old days when Denise etc were on there, people got bored and jaded with the format. I’ve just seen Sarah Ferguson is joining as agony aunt. Really?! They’re scraping the barrel there.

Read Sarah Ferguson was an April fool joke.

It was before April fools day.

I’ve never liked (not really had that much of an opinion on her!) Fergie though, the classic braying bonkers Sloane who writes books which wouldn’t be published were it not for her RF connection.

AintNobodyHateMeBetter · 03/04/2023 14:34

God no to the suggestions of Jo Brand, she's an absolute gobshite.
