He’s had a lot to say this morning, probably things, he, and many others, have wanted to say for a long time, very interesting. He and Ruth seem to be v well
liked and respected in the industry and are good, decent people.
It seems karma is working it’s magic, which is so rare with workplace bullies and arseholes, I’m so here for it. May the decent people prevail!

Eamonn is a product of his upbringing and he can come across as misogynistic at times. Funnily enough, I don’t think he’s pompous. If you watch that clip for example, he acknowledges how unimportant morning tv is in the scheme of things as most people are out when it’s on.

Exactly why we shouldn't have misogynistic bigoted dicks like him served up as family entertainment, no?

I like Eamonn Holmes and think he and Ruth presented far better than Phil and Holly on the occasions I saw it (I'm not a regular watcher because of work)
The problem ITV have now is that they have no good presenters in line - Alison is a clown, Dermott is wooden and Rochelle is clueless so they are up shit creek

You're right, there must be no decent presenters in the whole of the UK or even the world to choose from. They'd better bring Phil back or just shut down

I like Ruth, but I deeply dislike Eamonn. I love Rylan and Josie and especially Alison. Alison is very engaging and funny but can be serious when need be. Dermot is OK, but he is a bit 'meh...'

Agree about Rochelle though. Painfully dull and wooden - and when she was presenting with her Husband Marvin Humes I used to switch off. It was like watching paint dry.

Or just get rid of the programme all together. What is its purpose?

I very rarely watch this morning as I'm normally working but the last one I watched - probably more than 2 years ago - had a feature about a woman who wanted to marry her duvet!! Confused It was so weird, I'm not sure who theur target audience is and who finds that stuff entertaining!

Surely the point is that by protecting their big names' interests so much, they have neglected to bring through more talent. They need to find better presenters and more of them

Did u see the one when a woman married a ghost and had a ghost baby? Her name is Amethyst Realm. You'll find it on YouTube.
