Well done, Eamonn!

[Abitofquietinthemorningplease]

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!

Not defending the awful Phil and Holly but Eamonn is a nasty bigoted right winger himself so take what he says with a pinch of salt. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone and all that

And you can always find crowds of those who like that kind of "entertainment"

Have people forgotten how this awful man bullied Anthea?

"It's been almost 12 months since the Queen of Breakfast TV vacated her throne - but still the scars from Anthea Turner's much-publicised spat with co-presenter Eamonn Holmes haven't totally healed.

"I was gutted," says Anthea. "What he did hurt me terribly. I'd be lying if I said it didn't."

Talking for the first time about the row that rocked breakfast TV, Anthea says: "To this day I don't understand why he did it. This was a man I'd worked with almost every day for more than two years."

Anthea's infamous feud with Holmes exploded last year in an angry and startlingly frank interview with the Sunday Mirror, when he accused her of being a sulky prima donna obsessed with her looks and devoid of a sense of humour.

Anthea says: "The fact is, I never was and never wanted to be a rival to Eamonn. Maybe he didn't understand that.

"He is an excellent journalist and he is well respected for that. He is also one of the best breakfast presenters in the business. I was never any threat to him."

One of Eamonn's barbs which failed to hit home was when he sneeringly called Anthea "Princess Tippy Toes." "I had a lot of fun out of that one," laughs Anthea. "In fact, for months afterwards I signed all my letters 'From Princess Tippy Toes.'"

Anthea doesn't waste too much time these days worrying about Eamonn. In the 12 months since she left GMTV she's made her Pet Power series, she's made Turner Around The World and she landed the top job on ITV's Wish You Were Here holiday show, replacing Judith Chalmers, who'd presented the programme for 24 years."

Eamon isn’t interested in what is alleged to have happened. This isn’t about PS for him, it’s about Eamon Homes. Don’t think for a minute that this is about him being able to speak out suddenly. He’s on GB news, he could easily have spoken out about his own unfair treatment on a platform where there are no boundaries, but he didn’t. He needed to bide his time to have the greatest impact.

Let’s not forget that this is a man who asked a rape victim why she didn’t get a taxi home on the night she was raped. Not exactly a paragon of decent presenting either is he? The fact that he’s on GB news speaks volumes for his calibre.

YouTube of it:

It is. And it’s quite ridiculous. Women have to work with cunts the world over. If we all left our jobs to avoid working with arseholes half of us would be unemployed. Unless you maintain that HW too has had an affair with an underage person there is no equivalence.

Eammon is a horrible snidey little man with a massive chip on his shoulder. He may well be speaking the truth but he’s still hateful.

The sheer amount of press attention this is getting is convincing me there is much to come out about Scof.

Why else is it getting the headlines if it's not really because there is much more to be said - as soon as they are allowed to?

Blimey

Yep. He’s a total arsehole.

I was gutted then they left This morning on Fridays. I've always felt This Morning is very much a program crying out for an actual couple to present. It worked well with Richard and Judy for years as they sparked off each other. Its why him on GMB alone doesn't work, he's just a pompous arse. Whereas with Judy it was banter and she would give him what for.

I always found Holly and Phil fake. All that OTT laughing over double entendres. He's just smug (or was, probably down to how he was seen as Golden boy until Holly gained more popularity) and there's something unlikeable about her.

I would love it if Eamon and Ruth came back but can't see it.
I loathe Alison on Fridays, she's OK for OBs that are short but she can't carry a show.
Her goodbye felt so false this morning.

Dawn Neesom in the clip basically said this, there’s a lot more to come out we all know this.

Interesting someone said an injunction is due to run out soon.

Favoured over Phil?

Holly hasn't done anything wrong.

Good for Eamonn. People should be shouting from the rooftops about this disgusting nonce protector and his simpering, too sweet to be wholesome sidekick.

She should she slung out with him.

@penniesmakeshillingsandshillingsmakepounds Exactly! I think many here defending P & H and saying how awful
Eamonn is will be shocked

He and Ruth seem to be v well liked and respected in the industry

I'm surprised to hear that. Eamonn seems pretty unpleasant and Ruth a well-meaning divvy.

You don't have to have an affair with a young boy to be a bad person.

Eamonn Holmes is a cesspit of a human being.

i watched that clip
eamon holmes is awful,
gutter programme

I have to laugh at the fact that Eamonn Holmes is being held up as some paragon on integrity here.

He’s a thoroughly unpleasant and disagreeable arsehole.

on that clip they even said who watched it;
and quoted:

retired
off sick - whenever i was off sick, i would watch homes under the hammer, and that heirs programme
unemployed
students - for a start i cant think of any students that i know of who would watch that.

Total bs here
All Sm does not have this about of slagging off of EH
Phils/Holly’s Pr working overtime

Would you trust him and Ruth or Phillip..... too easy!

I haven't read the entire thread but a quick scroll through and I can't see anyone defending P & H

Surely it's safe and easy for him to be saying all this now? I'd agree with you applauding him if he was saying it a couple of months ago!
