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 🤷🏻‍♀️

It’s a genius PR move. Rochelle doesn’t have the gravitas to ask Phil how he’s doing, plus, she’ll be told to Not Ask. I get it - Not Asking is worth a vast amount of money to her as, ultimately, the Big Job is up for grabs.

So, the chat will be all about ‘get well Holly… up next!….’ And next week will be all about ‘are you better Holly?’ and the news cycle moved on.

Clever ITV.

100% correct.

I believe Holly does have shingles but I think its the bodies way of ensuring you hide away. I suspect recent developments have been stressful and played on her mind. I think if you were to make it up you might say you had covid or something else.

Watching and no mention of anything. Disgraceful.

I wonder if on the next fashion segment Philip will model his absolute brass neck!

Cuppaand2biscuits · 17/04/2023 10:19

I'll fill in for anyone not watching. I put it on specifically to see if anything was addressed

Phil and Rochelle opened the show saying Holly has shingles and we send her best wishes etc.
Then Phil said it was lovely to be back, he'd missed the show and he wanted to thank everyone for their kind messages and support then, on with the show!
All brushed under the rug!

Messages of support?! Why can’t he just piss off. Odious man. Should’ve gone three years ago and now the situation is even worse. Thanks for updating. I couldn’t bear to look at the smugness. Repulsive.

This is bullshit, he’s NEVER going anywhere, no matter what he does…he knows something about someone somewhere

What sort of moron sends in messages of support for him, the mind boggles!

Inkanta · 17/04/2023 11:01

Wow yeah - brass neck!

I know!!!! Unbelievable and I bet he’s loving it off

Inkanta · 17/04/2023 11:10

I see it's the 1st item on news (online Mail) - him saying 'thanks for the messages of support' Think it's being sarky and I sense they might be on to him and not letting it go.

Words fail me really - i know he’s not jimmy saville but you think ITV would be on there toes with this. It’s shoddy beyond belief. Rumours of young men - lying to his wife and family for years and now his brother!!!

Badger1970 · 17/04/2023 13:41

There are some savage comments on Twitter about him ....

I bet Holly is frantically looking for a loophole in her contract rather than recovering from Shingles.

Bluevelvetsofa · 17/04/2023 13:45

Perhaps if everyone stopped watching ITV would pull it. It’s not as if there’s ever anything worth looking at on it.

lollipoprainbow · 17/04/2023 13:48

He's clearly got dirt on the executives.

katyperryseyelid · 17/04/2023 14:17

Shingles my arse.

I read that Hollys contract is up this coming December

ItIsFiat · 17/04/2023 15:37

Good for Holly if she departs.

She has a talent agency set up.

ItIsFiat · 17/04/2023 15:38

I am watching who takes work now on the days Phillip is jn attendance.

Women like the Batch lady, her husband has a farm and she has sold many books, it's sheer greed for someone like her to leave morals at the door.

@ItIsFiat Who is the batch lady?

Twitter was going wild earlier 🙈 Certainly didn’t notice any of these ‘supportive’ comments he spoke of either 🧐 It was hilarious how they brushed it under the rug then straight onto a story about William and Harry and Rochelle is saying about families having dramas and how much worse it is if it plays out in the public eye. You could see him cringing! Felt like they kept playing on the Holly being ill thing, it kept being mentioned and it all looked very fake every time anyone said anything about it

ImAvingOops · 17/04/2023 21:46

I particularly enjoyed the twitter comment on whether the fashion segment would have Phillip modelling his brass neck!
