Ok I know I've spelt her surname wrong... but here we are. We all know who I'm talking about!

I just don't understand why social media has turned on her, almost blaiming her for allowing Phillip S antics to go on?

Why is she responsible for his actions????

And for those saying "she must've known"... maybe she didn't! Maybe she kept out of it or maybe she didn't know the full one and puts.
Why so she being Blaine's. Am I missing something??!

Oh go away

mids2019 · 03/06/2023 23:00

Told you....how long has she been talking to her HR people to get this straight?

Remembersweetvalleyhighbooks · 03/06/2023 23:09

But this is an open, honest statement she has written herself 🙄
Looks like things will just carry on, no new people etc

After the Insta post, she'd have been told not to engage anymore, go on holiday and they'll take care of a statement for her to approve when back.
Phil's message to her was interesting in saying "you're probably not allowed to reply"
If apologising to a friend, wouldn't you just send the message directly.
I feel he's covering for her and knew e would then use that as evidence she didn't know.

Holiday pics looked so posed too.
Her usual pap pics hardly ever have a credit on them as she apparently has someone take the pics and sell them.
It's all unsavoury.

I read that This morning phone in phone calls will be heavily monitored next week. Who is that to protect, the public?

Of course she knew!!
Tbh it’s irrelevant because if I even suspected my best friend was having an affair with a child we would not be friends.
Holly W only gives a shit about herself and her own career

He wasnt a child though was he? IF PS is to be believed the guy was 20 years old. Old enough to consent and know what he was doing.

JenniferBooth · 04/06/2023 14:12

@GoOnHoliday Im old enough to remember the incident with the teenager who phoned in to Going Live and told Five Star they were crap live on air.

I know This Morning is live but could there be a 30 to 60 second delay so viewers are up to a minute behind

Calzonepizza · 04/06/2023 17:23

Who is going to be hugging Holly on the sofa when she imparts her very brave and “honest “
message???

Show quote history

Well as has been said a billion times phillip schofield added him on twitter at 15 and was patron of his drama group when he was 10. So it's not quite as simple as consensual, but you probably know that!

Live TV is always a bit behind because of Shaun ryder swearing on an early evening programme.

Mrsjayy · 04/06/2023 18:46

I'm sure there will be delay tomorrow.

Treesandsheepeverywhere · 04/06/2023 23:13

Interesting M.F bringing out the
"we have women and mothers on the team who don't deserve to lose their jobs" card.

Loads of people working for the fallen mighty have lost their jobs over the years, but that's no reason not to call people to account.

Paul2023 · 05/06/2023 08:46

So Hollys back with a prepared statement…. Is there any coming back for her ? Isn’t she linked too closely with PS?

Royalbloo · 05/06/2023 08:48

Why? When Ant crashed his car, did Dec get sacked?

Paul2023 · 05/06/2023 08:49

Maybe Holly did know but her and PS agreed to protect her by saying she didn’t know anything, to limit the damage to her reputation?
No point in both of them sinking. Atleast that’s a theory. PS is protecting Holly by saying she didn’t know ( when she did).

Again just a theory.

Royalbloo · 05/06/2023 08:48

No because that’s a different situation. Ant stupidly made a decision to drink drive, Dec wasn’t there.

The Philip Schofield scandal is different.

This Morning , or ITV is in trouble, to the point that they are being investigated by parliament . Haven’t you seen the massive scandal that’s been in the media for weeks?

This is about a cover up that possibly could get worse.

Im simply saying that Hollys reputation is damaged , whether she knew or not. I’m not sure she can ride this out. Maybe she can.

Viviennemary · 05/06/2023 09:07

I hope she goes. Everything about her is fake. Its now operation save your own skin. So predictable it's pathetic.

Paul2023 · 05/06/2023 09:12

Well this is how I see it. If Holly knew, that’s means she’s lied to save her own career.

If she didn’t know, that’s means she’s turned her back on her best friend, and isn’t sticking by him.

Either way, it doesn’t bode well does it? A liar or a fake friend?

Remembersweetvalleyhighbooks · 05/06/2023 09:16

Of course she knew…P.S is clearly covering for her

Mrsjayy · 05/06/2023 10:01

Urgh her statement was so wishy washy lots of words about mental health and healing!

Wasn't it Matt Bianco?

Think he called them fucking wankers 🤣

Remembersweetvalleyhighbooks · 05/06/2023 10:07

That was v wishy washy, I can’t see this working, so many people unfortunately don’t want to watch her
Josie is great

ByeByeMr · 05/06/2023 10:18

Annoyingly I missed it. Forgot it starts at 10 now instead of 10.30.

Stellawella · 05/06/2023 10:26

So scripted. Seems like she’s reading a book.
