Holly Willoughby.

OP posts:

WHY DO PEOPLE START THREADS LIKE THIS WITH NO CONTEXT?

It happens all the time. There was one yesterday very early before the Diane Abbott letter had gone mainstream that was all AIBU that Diane Abbott is trying to defeat the labour party. It means nothing to someone who hasn't read what you have read

What then happens is a load of people asking why/what have they done.

It is irritating as well as stupid to assume everyone knows the backstory to what you are posting about - especially when the thread title suggests it might be about a neighbour/stalker/random member of the public.

Please stop doing this and just give a tiny bit of context.

Why on earth wouldn't someone who has a paid job to do something be there?
What has she done?

Quite apart from the super injunction and the legalities surrounding hearsay. I can see why it’s not being openly discussed. The thread would be likely to be deleted.

Google it if you want to know. It’s literally everywhere

This is my point - why should you make readers of threads go off to google trivia that they wouldn't otherwise be interested in.

I'm only here because I clicked on a thread title that I thought may be interesting.

I know about the Philip Schofield brother issue and the rumours about him BUT WHAT has that got to do with Holly Willoughby turning up to work.

What has she done?

ThrowAwayOne · 24/04/2023 10:32

Wow a lot of posters have got up from the wrong side of the bed this morning!

It's just a thread, same as many others, it'll interest some and not others. No need for all the snide comments about people needing to get a life because they have an interest in something that others don't. Just go read threads you do have an interest in instead of the pile on.

So, in regards to the OP, I don't watch TM but have seen some of the posts about PS/HW and do find it interesting that she's only now trying to distance herself.

Anyone who is watching This Morning today, does it seem like there's an atmosphere or is it business as usual between PS and HW?

someone tell us - dont just tell people to google

ShitFacedOnRetsina · 24/04/2023 10:44

PS makes my flesh crawl. I literally cannot bear to look at him and have never seen Good Morning TV or whatever it's called. Like a PP I consider it a life achievement that I have never seen it and don't give the tiniest shit either way. If he's a crim, I hope he gets what's coming to him.

OP I mean this kindly but do you think you have too much time on your hands?! These are over paid celebs who's lives bear no resemblance to ours, who provide at best limp entertainment on a repetitive basis! I have to endure these conversations with my mother who thinks Emmerdale ,Eastenders and Coronation Street is real life and come hell or high water never msses an episode.Its just sad to me! I appreciate we are all not the same but blimey its a huge.magical world out there ready to discover ..don;t waste yous like my mother is! Holly who???

Don't you ever watch films, TV series, read books etc? Or have you never read a book or watched tv in your life, too busy discovering the huge magical world?

I love corrie and emmerdale and try to keep up with them - I also have a professional job, friends, family, have travelled the world, have a hobby I very much enjoy.... You can like different things while still having 'a life'

You can watch U.K. tv in other countries via a fire stick/internet etc

But that's illegal piracy?

slashlover · 24/04/2023 10:53

Blizzard23 · 24/04/2023 10:35

The point is that if the OP had bothered to put Holly's name in the title then we could have. The title was deliberately ambiguous so that it could have been about a school mum, an OW, a work issue etc.

SquirrelsAreStinky · 24/04/2023 10:54

I don’t generally watch TM either but the Holly/Phil dynamic is interesting.

I lost all respect for her when he came out. Bearing in mind Phil has a wife whose life had just been ripped to shreds publicly, Holly was simpering over Phil in the interview and asking him what his plans were for dating and if there was anyone special etc. it was a real slap in the face for Phil’s wife, incredibly disrespectful and inappropriate.

Holly isn’t just Schofield’s colleague, she’s made it very clear that she’s his bestie and confidante.

They both went down in my estimation when they queue jumped for QEII. The queue jumping was a bit shit but what I found worse was the lies they told afterwards and the way they both treated the public as if we were stupid. There was a real arrogance and entitlement in their attitude, and that primarily came from Holly.

There was a thread recently about what celebrities are really like and someone knows Holly in real life - they said she’s like one of the mean girls at school. Having caught glimpses of what’s behind her sugary sweet mask I can believe it.

Schofield is a dodgy creep and I don’t think Holly will carry on being his bestie if his ship sinks. I think she knew exactly what he’s been up to but didn’t care - unless it hurts her image/career.

Brilliant. Well said 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I thought she'd been off with shingles?
Or did I dream that one?

I'm surprised she's back so soon, as it took me weeks to recover.

Tidsleytiddy · 24/04/2023 11:16

Shingles my arse

I thought that everyone has known he was gay since the 1980s and his wife was a beard. Are we now saying it was common knowledge but was also kept from her for 30+ years?

Willmafrockfit · 24/04/2023 11:22

she has to look after herself,
cannot believe this negativity towards her for his wrong doings

Capaldifan94 · 24/04/2023 11:24

MartinFowler · 24/04/2023 10:19

She was happy to be his little bestie right up until it was obvious people were turning on him. Now she's like, oh shit, I didn't say anything when he was doing his Jimmy sav routine and even my big, powerful husband can't get me out of it.

That's what you get for turning a blind eye. Bet Ruth is pissing herself 🤣

How do we know that she isn't still best pals with him? Has she said she's distancing herself?

Coolhwip · 24/04/2023 10:52

Can you quote the legislation for this?

I don't live in the UK. We watch UK tv via a completely legal satellite dish.

Lots of people have Humax (or similar) boxes which receive all the freeview channels. They are widely available and not illegal. You can buy one in a supermarket.

You can't get any of the catch-up services e.g. BBCiplayer unless you have a reliable VPN (virtual private network) but this is where it becomes more of a grey area.

I would be more than happy to pay the BBC license fee to access iPlayer, but you can't do this if you are resident abroad. BBC are missing a trick here. They could make a fortune!

LadyOfTheCanyon · 24/04/2023 11:29

I thought there were rumours that she was a massive coke head. If he's any kind of evil supervillain worth his salt, PS will have the scoop on every foot HW has put wrong privately over the years. And so we'll never know the real deal as everyone scrambles to save their own skin before they all go down together in a flaming ball of mediocrity.

SirTarquin · 24/04/2023 11:43

@Blizzard23 - you say 'scroll by then' - as @slashlover had said if the title was will holly willoughby be at work tomorrow I wouldn't have bothered to click on it.

But I did because I thought it was a real life problem.

Then I read it but didn't understand what this issue is and still it's not clear to me.

My bigger point is that it is irritating, time wasting for others as well as small minded to create a post of that type without giving a steer as to the issue. & rude really because you know that you are doing all of that consciously.

I've asked. I've been told to google and to scroll. Why can't someone just answer the question?

Why wouldn't she be at work?

The PS brother stuff has been and gone. The rumours about PS are old news and nothing to do with her.

You don't just not turn up to work because you don't like/are pissed off with/suspicious of the behaviour of a colleague. That's not how employee/employer contracts work.

Why would someone think she wouldn't be there?

Wedoronron · 24/04/2023 11:58

Mariposista · 24/04/2023 09:03

I always found her simper, giggly ways on the tv annoying but she lost any respect I had for her when she went to see Queen Elizabeth lying in state wearing a mask. Have the courtesy of showing your face!

I don't think the dead queen would care 😜

@Tidsleytiddy It was good with Eamon & Ruth and a few others are ok to watch

When did Lardyarse Holmes leave?

gooseduckchicken · 24/04/2023 12:24

How do posters know Phil has a super injunction? What is the source for things happening on set?

Where do people get this information?
