So says Rylan Clark

He claims some people in the industry aren’t nice and polite, like they portray themselves to be and behind the scenes they treat people badly…that people are starting to see through it now and all will be revealed…

Anthea, morning tv favourite as famous as Holly (and loathed by Eamonn Holmes) had a TV career curated by her very influential husband, Peter Powell. She, mistook her 'popularity' for talent, ditched the husband who kept her in her 'career', and galloped off into Zleb obscurity clutching Grant Bovey in one hand and an ill-advised chocolate bar in the other. And was very unkind about Mr Powell in a book which just about put the lid on her tv career. So Holly might be well advised to stay put.

I went off Ant after the car accident and the way he treated his Ex-wife

Same. The abuse that poor woman got on top of everything else was abhorrent. But a bit of rehab washed him clean again. Arsehole.

The mention of Anthea Turner reminds me of an ex-partner who was in an upcoming band at the time. They'd been interviewed by Anthea Turner's then husband on his radio show. The ex told me that after the show the presenter had tried it on with one of the band (they were all male).

You mean Peter Powell tried it on?

The vultures are circling, its a matter of time before PS is gone from TM. Hopefully the equally as awful HW is removed as well but not likely!

newnamethanks · 11/05/2023 17:56

If PS upset Dan Wootton can he be all bad? DW is abhorrent.

Biggestpizzaiveeverseenjesus · 11/05/2023 18:05

Can anyone link the Dan Wooten thing please?

In my case, I eventually quit ITV in November 2019, after coming under direct pressure to stay silent about some of Phillip's behaviour, which I wasn't prepared to do.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Yeah that's not what happened Dan is it? Ya big whiney melt.

Rylan is adorable and yes I have worked with him so know what he's like. He is indeed very tall, smells lovely and is an all round good guy.

Dan however... well.

Quitelikeit · 11/05/2023 20:30

Well what did happen to Dan Wooton?

Quitelikeit · 11/05/2023 20:31

Actually Rylan does look like he smells nice 🤣🤣🤣

You’re on the wrong thread @brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr !

HRTQueen · 11/05/2023 21:25

lots a damage limitation going on

it’s a shallow industry and highly competitive of course there is lots of back stabbing most have not got where they are because of their intelligence or general appeal it’s often knowing and mixing with the right people and steely determination

Many working with PS knew of his relationship with a young runner yet happy to be seen as so supportive when he came out 🙄

Americano75 · 11/05/2023 21:30

I would take that article more seriously if it wasn't written by the man whose relentless harassment of Caroline Flack only ended with her suicide. The man is scum.

Can't go Philip Schofield though. Tick, tock.

Anthea... didn't she come a cropper after setting herself up as some sort of cleaning guru, until it came out that she had a cleaner that did the work?

ThePoshUns · 11/05/2023 22:18

There is definitely something in the waters regarding Ps. HW is distancing herself from him that's for sure.

It’s not just tv stars. Their true personality is well known these days and the subject of discussion. take athletics - for instance.

Dame Kelly Holmes for instance, superb athelete in her day, but a vile person with zero time for youngsters (a cardinal sin in my view - should be encouraging the next gen in their sport)…. Whereas, Colin Jackson, another super athlete, the complete opposite, would turn up and spend all day talking to the youngsters.

Oh wow she visited me school about 16 years ago. She was lovely. Maybe we got lucky.

PenelopeTitsDrop3121 · 11/05/2023 22:50

Trying to control the narrative with his statement I see.

Biggestpizzaiveeverseenjesus · 11/05/2023 22:52

@PenelopeTitsDrop3121 Whose statement?
