This morning?

Off work today and watching and it just seems tense and awkward and not right between Holly & Philip Schofield

Bring back Nick and Anne!

Yes, I loved Anne & Nick too.
Anne was quite a regular in recent years on Jeremy Vine, where's she gone? Has she been cancelled? Was she guilty of having independent thought?

I went on maternity just as This Morning started in '88. I loved R & J

At the risk of sounding like a 'successful people podcast' switch it off! Happy successful people don't watch daytime TV Wink

You are mainly sounding catty

Lots of perfectly respectable and successful people watch daytime TV.

It was awkward as hell.

Philth is under a lot of pressure.

Let's hope he doesn't do a runner.

Too late he already has!
(Allegedly 😄)

It was awful, can’t watch it anymore, not a fan of Holly at all, but must be pretty horrendous for her at the moment

Oh deary me. How long can they fake it for. The rise and fall of Phill and Holly.

Wait, what time are we allowed to start watching? Does it vary for the seasons? 🤔

I thought that after queuegate and they just carried on regardless so I reckon Phil thinks he can ride this out too!

Inkanta · 16/05/2023 06:31

Yes, just caught a clip of yesterday. Phillip still grinning and Holly still giggling, so maybe they're here to stay.

Mackerson · 16/05/2023 06:38

Of course it would be awkward, it's splashed across all the newspapers. But the only reason most people notice it is because it's splashed across ll the newspapers. Otherwise they'd be thinking same old, same old (crap).

Queuegate stank. But all journalists who used their excuse and went in, stank with them.

pecantoucan · 16/05/2023 06:54

I imagine their contracts will be up soon? Maybe they are trying to make it to summer

Just turn it off. Honestly the amount of airtime given to this is insane.

LuckyRookie · 16/05/2023 13:59

I saw a bit. Seemed the same as yesterday really. Awkward, forced OTT smiles and 'laughing'. The handover to Ruth for LW yesterday was frosty 😬 Very abrupt.

I watched a bit today.

Honestly if I didnt know this was going on behind the scenes, I didnt really notice anything off at all in the part I watched.

lindyloo57 · 16/05/2023 17:52

I haven't watched it for a couple of years, I can't stand either of them, the same with Lorraine, time for sone new people.

Spamham · 16/05/2023 17:53

Aww, I think there’s too much speculation on this. People’s friendships have their ups & downs. And Pip has just had a nightmare with his sex offender brother’s trial - he no longer calls him family.
Just because people are on the telly doesn’t mean they don’t have their own private car crashes going on. A bit of compassion wouldn’t go amiss - instead of scavenging for gossip.

Yes this

Why are we forced to watch the same bloody annoying people for years on end.

I like Allison and Dermot, are they still presenting on Fridays ?

I like Stephs packed lunch because she shares the shows with other interesting presenters.

I don't get time to watch any of these much but Phil has made my skin crawl for years now so I just can't bear to watch it when he's on but I like the format of This Morning just not with him

Why can't they just replace him.

Harmonypus · 16/05/2023 18:21

It's way past time for them both to get the boot. There are far better people to front this show than those two.

Yerroblemom1923 · 16/05/2023 18:32

I'm pretty indifferent to Phil tbh, but the vacuous airhead I'd never tire of slapping around the face with a kipper. Pointless woman.

Windbeneathmybingowings · 16/05/2023 21:14

Why can't they just replace him.

he has them over the same barrel that JS and various other money makers in the business had the BBC over. He has Holly over the same barrel. They have to call it a feud because they cannot call it collusion or enabling

Same. I can’t stand phil and holly nor Lorraine.

like Alison, dermot, Rylan. Even Eamon and Ruth! Richard & Judy of course.

Whyisegerythingseeminglygettingworse · 17/05/2023 01:49

@Rummikub Same! Only perhaps not Alison as much as the others

@Whyisegerythingseeminglygettingworse

ovr liked Alison since her big brother days.

i would always watch when it was Richard and Judy. And now Alison and demot. Switch off as soon as Lorraine appears. I don’t get her - seems fake to me.

GUARDIAN1 · 17/05/2023 07:19

Switch off, read a book, watch something else. I'm so fed up of news about this pair popping up on my phone all the time (not your post OP, "news" headlines).
