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 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yes he burgled the singer Paul Young's house before he 'became a chef'

What!? This thread is doing my head in!

I posted this story a couple of weeks back on one of the rudest celeb threads about my friend who works in a hotel.

A mistake was made while checking Gino in and he was pissed off. He went from showing off with his fake accent to shouting at them in estuary English. The staff started laughing. He wasn’t happy.

I don't know how I missed this story about Fred Talbot. I hate him now. Those poor boys.

Always highly charismatic characters.

Alison had the story come out about someone trying to blackmail her and her paying them off and then reporting to police. Philip's brother has been accused of sexual abuse, think the court case is currently ongoing. Gino is said to be sleazy which is not so hard to believe.

Whoever hires the presenters for this morning has done a piss poor job.

I'm looking forward to the tell all documentary in a few years time "How the sun set on This Morning"

Yes

My goodness...I just googled this, and what he did to children was appalling.
Is nowhere safe from paedophiles?

I'm shocked at the lanark sheriff court part, I didn't realise it was so close to me.

This thread is going to go like the last one and MANY before that…

Lots of people have ‘distanced’ themselves from This Morning…
There is a very good reason for that.
Just wait and see

BertaHoon · 29/03/2023 02:57

Yes, Gino burgled Paul Young's house and stole his guitars to flog.

They were both on the show together a couple of years ago. Gino cooking. Paul being interviewed.

Awkward 🤣

Mustn't forget Madely forgetting to pay for his trolley full of wine!

Hellenabe · 29/03/2023 03:27

This thread will definitely be deleted. I guess Allison's story will be her alleged partner. PS will be waiting for the news to die down. Can't imagine how he continues on, I wish he would get cancelled!

WiddlinDiddlin · 29/03/2023 06:03

Live 'daytime/morning' tv... is all so very very fake, last minute, cobbled together behind the scenes, rife with nepotism and 'not what you know, who you know'... I don't really bother with it unless someone I know is going to be on (and then I watch their bit recorded later)..

I can't imagine being the sort of person who can do that job, long term presenter, of something so very precarious, frantic, and fudged together - and thats before you add in the nasty characters who have swept their histories under the rug or invented new ones, that you'd have to work with.

Imagine having to interview experts who are often not experts at all, on subjects you know precisely fuck all about, topics that typically want an hours discussion but you've got to jam the 'expert' into 2 minutes, avoid them saying anything dreadful (though, give you know fuck all about it, thats pretty much impossible) and then move on to the next bit of fluff, whilst sitting beside someone or about to cut to someone you know to be at best a massive creep...

And then doing that over and over for several hours every bastarding day...

Ugh. You'd either have to have zero imagination and a very low IQ or, just not care at all, or it would melt your brain I think!

FlatWhiteExtraHot · 29/03/2023 06:10

PS’s annoying adverts seem to have disappeared lately too - thank fuck - the gin club and the car one at least.

Cuppaand2biscuits · 29/03/2023 06:58

I'd forgotten about Fred and was Judy an alcoholic while she worked on TM or just after?

HaveYouSeenNancy · 29/03/2023 07:07

I'm glad others have mentioned Gino's fake Italian accent. My husband's Italian and Gino's accent is just ridiculous, like a massive piss take. Didn't he grow up in Sheffield?

I haven't watched TM since Lily Savage (RIP Paul) did guest appearances when Judy and Richard were presenters. I was a student then and it was really popular amongst students, is it still?

Roussette · 29/03/2023 07:20

I knew from the minute I clapped eyes on Gino that his accent was fake. He has lived here most of his life, it's pathetic.

As far as This Morning, I am gobsmacked that ITV can't get their best innovative brains together to work out something better than this tired ridiculous show. It's been going for over 35 years and it is boring.

Ditto Loose Women

Can't stand Richard Madeley but at least back in the day 'Richard & Judy* sort of carried the show. But now it is a parody of itself. Haven't properly watched it for a very long time but what I have seen is dire.

Howtohideasausage · 29/03/2023 07:21

Holly looks like a puppet on a string.

TheYearOfSmallThings · 29/03/2023 07:29

Oh I hadn't heard about Paul O'Grady - that is sad news.

KTSl1964 · 29/03/2023 07:35

How interesting that both Schofield brothers are gay - coming out later - can’t stand this morning - PS won’t be back till after Easter - ITV must think the public is stupid!!! Much prefer Stephs packed lunch!!!

Eh Paul O’Grady is alive and kicking??

follyfoot37 · 29/03/2023 07:37

Why is this drivel not in the telly addicts section?
So many people getting taxed by a tv programme aimed at the mindless, presented by the vacuous

unfortunateevents · 29/03/2023 07:37

Sadly not, Paul O'Grady died last night.
