This really. Haven't read anything first hand about him - just going by comments online

@maddy68 it's pretty widely known that he groomed a boy from 12 and had a relationship with him that only ended around time when he came out

He's a wrongun!

Butidontwanttogotoarobbieconcert · 08/04/2023 09:28

I think he’ll be back on it, but no way should be be able to be!!

JMSA · 08/04/2023 09:51

He's like a cockroach. There's no touching him!

SmartHome · 08/04/2023 09:54

I think he's done. People are openly talking about his own history with young boys now, which isn't much different from his brother's, he was just maybe clever enough to wait until they were a year or so older. Big deal, still makes him a creep in my book, not to me tion what he did to his poor wife.

Thatladdo · 10/04/2023 00:13

maybe as a story when his shenannigans surface

Thedogscollar · 10/04/2023 01:19

I think he's got a very good presenting style and still looks very presentable no weight gain over the years etc etc
Are you being serious? Is this how you actually judge people?
What is the etc etc for?
He is a slimy shit. I suggest you read up on him @BDlow educate yourself.

Shhhquirrel · 10/04/2023 02:48

Hope not, can’t stand him or Holly. Long overdue for a change.

BDlow · 29/03/2023 17:53

Ah ok thanks - makes sense - I only knew things from Tweets etc but now I've read the actual story makes sense he'll be back. Must admit I don't actually dislike him - I think he's got a very good presenting style and still looks very presentable - no weight gain over the years etc etc

Did you mean to make yourself sound so stupid?

GingerbreadBaking · 10/04/2023 03:13

He may not have gained weight over the years like Eamon Holmes, Eamon sticks to those who age as he does.

He is quite narcissistic and pull of pride and delight with himself.

I don't want to see him on TV again, it's time he retired.

Goodread1 · 10/04/2023 04:13

Who Cares

He is irrelevant and Over rated Talentless Bore
Or
At least gives that impression

Never thought much of him since 80s era of children's TV entertainment

Yoyo2021 · 10/04/2023 04:21

The cretin makes me feel sick I will boycott this morning if he comes back. He kept quiet about what his brother was doing….
🤢

Exhibity · 10/04/2023 04:29

I wonder how his best friend Holly feels about it ? How will she be able to sit next to him on the show knowing that he didn't report this ?

CatchYouOnTheFlippetyFlop · 10/04/2023 04:57

no weight gain over the years etc etc

Jimmy Saville had a good physique due to running marathons for charity.

Can you please elaborate on your point 🤯

She's as dim as a box of broken lightbulbs and only where she is cos she's shagging an ITV producer.

JauntyRedShoes · 10/04/2023 05:01

Hope not. Never understood how he gets so much work, he comes across as insincere, creepy and hugely overrated to me. Add to that not reporting his brother. Sexual abuse is such an under reported crime that destroys lives, families and communities and to be complicit in the secrecy is un fathomable. However while I’d like him to be finished I think he will be back and talking about how hard it’s been for him to deal with blah, blah and the show will go on.

Exhibity · 10/04/2023 05:04

This Morning's producers are probably rubbing their hands in anticipation of Holly 'interviewing' him on his return to say how awful it's all been for him.

Hellenabe · 10/04/2023 05:08

Personally I'd not want him to return but the reality is he will somehow twist it. However look at Harvey W, everyone thought he was untouchable, until he just wasn't!

I think there are a: some waiting in the wings to bring him down and b: some waiting to break the stories openly so they get their moment in the news eg: Joe Lycett

DeflatedAgain · 10/04/2023 05:13

I hope not.

Can't stand him

What story has Joe Lycett got on him?

SmileyPaella · 10/04/2023 05:31

@CatchYouOnTheFlippetyFlop - how do we know this about Holly? (Not being snarky at all, just interested as I'd not heard that before)

Hellenabe · 10/04/2023 05:32

@Exhibity I just think Joe wants to break the super injunction about PS and the young boy, but Joe's career would be finished

Inkanta · 10/04/2023 06:55

Yep I suspect as much. Incredible high self regard. ITV need to get their shit together, clean up the place and get a code of ethics.

HDready · 10/04/2023 07:07

I think that poster is being a bit disingenuous - her husband of about 20 years is in tv production. It’s not like she’s secretly shagging someone on the side. Depressing how a thread about a man doing wrong turns into that classic trope of a woman can’t get a job on her own merits, must be because of who she is sleeping with.

HDready · 10/04/2023 07:08

Sorry, that was in reply to @SmileyPaella

DessertGate · 10/04/2023 07:11

Hope not, can't stand him. To be fair though, he is not responsible for his brother's crimes. I don't want to see him on the telly, but not because of his brother.
