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…

I haven’t followed the majority of this because a lot of it is speculation.

But the fact that Holly is apparently thinking about how to respond speaks volumes.

If things were difficult and PS was about to go down she could say that. The fact she hasn’t responded makes me think that actually they are still close but she’s needing to think about her future.

She has no choice but to respond one way or the other.

Quitelikeit · 12/05/2023 17:53

Yes they will surely have to use the weekend to decide which way to go from here

trouble is the court of public opinion is starting to run wild in social media

I think Phil could be in for the chop especially if the press win at court and overturn the injunction

Arxx · 12/05/2023 17:53

It’s almost unbelievable when you think all this stuff must be rumours then you see a statement like that 😬 Chris Moyles’ interview was brilliant, he made quite a few comments like ‘from your first show to your last’ etc and it was like the elephant in the room was just repeatedly being ignored 🙈 I can’t see them surviving another week.. maybe there will be another late Sunday night random Instagram post from TM with who will be presenting next week. I’m guessing Holly’s ‘shingles’ was to try and buy her some time, maybe waiting for TM to do something but they didn’t so she’s now had to come back.

What did her Twitter bio say about him before that was removed?

PollyPeptide · 12/05/2023 18:09

I don't really understand what is going on now. Is this all because PA didn't tell HW all the ins and outs of his brothers trial (including him knowing what his brother had done for a short time before it went to the police)?
As much as I dislike Schofield, Willoughby, Hammond and co, do companies really sack presenters over petty crap like this? How did these no marks get so much power? They're like overgrown, power-hungry schoolkids.
Go to work and do your job!

WildFlowerBees · 12/05/2023 18:27

From what's been bandied about in the news TM ratings have tanked. The ITV boss Carolyn McCall needs to take her head out of her woke arse and get some new presenters for the whole of ITV. It's boring watching the same people over and over again. PS HW and Ant & Dec dominate.

LizzieSiddal · 12/05/2023 18:54

Agree @WildFlowerBees The fact Ant &Dec are supposedly ITVs best presenters is an absolute embarrassment for ITV.

Saw on Twitter reports that a certain super-injunction may be about to be over turned. Hence all the recent aligning of the duck population…

Something is definitely up. For a start,this sort of thread about Scofield is normally swiftly taken down the minute a runner is mentioned. I'm glad it's still here.

Replies to this tweet suggest it may be a case of the injunction expiring.

Let's hope so, super injunctions shouldn't exist, only reason they do is to protect the rich.

Arxx · 12/05/2023 19:22

I would think he hasn’t released a statement for no reason or just because of Twitter rumours. I’d imagine the bosses (or particularly MF since he’s mentioned in his statement) have pulled him in on Thursday after the show and hinted towards a shake up, which Holly has already agreed to, so he’s put that out to threaten them both

LizzieSiddal · 12/05/2023 19:39

I reckon he’ll be gone by Monday.

Biggestpizzaiveeverseenjesus · 12/05/2023 20:27

His statement creeps me out, it’s just so loaded with sort of underlying threats
Wonder how Holly must be feeling? What a horrible situation to be in, was she genuinely close friends with him or just for her career. I imagine he’s got lots on her, but how bad can it be
This has all building for so long now, can’t see them presenting on Monday together, I think will be two others-Alison, Dermot etc until things have been sorted out.
It sounds like Holly wants to continue, just not with P.S, but if he loses that, he’ll lose everything surely? Dancing on ice will change etc

Holly will as usual be 'sobbing uncontrollably' while also sharpening her claws on the new cat scratching post that her husband has treated her to.

I'm assuming the dirt on Holly is that she knew about the super injunction but remained his friend throughout?

Pretty sure I just saw Rylan in a car loan ad!

Vitriolinsanity · 12/05/2023 21:40

PS and HW your 15 years of fame are up.

He's got so many skeletons it's like the Tomb of the Kings and she is a paper dolly.

Format shake up due, but the worst outcome will be if Screech Hammond get the top slot.

Mrsjayy · 12/05/2023 22:32

More than likely he advertises lots of things. He once said he'd take anything going because it could all end tomorrow

LizzieSiddal · 12/05/2023 19:39

I think so too although I was astounded he came back a few weeks ago. It very much looks like he won’t go out without a fight. I just wonder logistically how it will work.. someone who’s been there for all those years, you’d expect they’d do some sort of farewell thing but they can’t do that in these circumstances so he’d just have to vanish

In every walk of life there are 2 faced tossers, and in celeb world there will be more as they need to protect their image to make money.

SmoothSeasDoNotMakeGoodSailors · 13/05/2023 01:28

Holly is not coming out of this well, no matter how much she tries to distance herself now.

Diorinthecountry · 13/05/2023 02:28

Just caught up. Sounds like something is definitely stirring up. I wonder if Holly has been getting her ducks in a row since the whole jump the que gate thing at the late Queens funeral. Maybe she relized then that she wasn't as popular or liked as she thought she was. Or probably more like she's stuck with PS throughout as she thinks they are untouchable.

I really hope Holly didn't know about PS and his brother. She has kids ffs!

It will be interesting to see what the next few days bring.

nunsflipflop · 13/05/2023 04:31

The sooner he’s off the tv the better. It made me sick, all the praise he got when he came out. He had been unfaithful to his wife, the fact it was a same sex relationship was irrelevant. Had he appeared on TM admitting infidelity, the nation would be up in arms, I didn’t think he was brave, I thought he was duplicitous.

To then hear that he was aware of his brothers paedophillia, and stayed quiet about it, sickens me. His fake statement after the conviction that he no longer had a brother was an exercise in arse covering.

The man is panicking, releasing his statement proves that. It appears that “his rock” was taken by surprise. I can’t see a way back for him now, unless he knows where the bodies are kept, and is prepared to use blackmail, which wouldn’t surprise me. He is a desperate man.

As others have said, Holly won’t escape unscathed from this, but she has friends (her husband) in high places, who will probably rescue her again. Personally I wouldn’t miss either of them.

Admittedly I don't watch TH (who the fuck does now there is streaming) but I've never understood the ITV obsession with the same 4/5 presenters on everything. I don't get it, is it because people love Holly or Ant & will watch them present anything even if it's shut?

frankgu · 13/05/2023 06:12

They are professional presenters who are fantastic at their job.

really, that's an example fantastic?

frankgu · 13/05/2023 06:12

DW is abhorrent.

yep

Onefootinthegroove · 13/05/2023 06:37

TM is so past its sell by date that I'm amazed it's still on TV. I haven't watched it in about 15 years, but I will be tuning in on Monday, just to see how this all pans out .........
