Interview for 70 minutes (I think)
Wonder what will be said, don’t blame him at all for being angry and wanting his say.
Watched a few old This morning clips today of Ruth & Eamonn with Rylan etc and it was really entertaining, the squabbles etc, humour and interesting discussions.
It’s actually quite sad it’s all gone to pot now.

What else could there be to say?
I absolutely believe PS has behaved in a vile way (I hope that it's true he behaved in a legal way) but this competitive hatred is seriously boring.

This is doing nothing but allowing good old misogynist Holmes to make himself look all superior, and push ratings for a horrid, right wing faux news channel. Disgusting.

Think of how the young man in question is feeling - his sexual history being splashed all over the front page of everything. I've seen absolutely no thought given to him, just pure frothing at the mouth.

im so confused thought it started at 9pm am I on the wrong channel?

They've been stringing us along since 9pm. Making us watch this crappy show. The interview started at 10.30 I think

CaffeineAndCrochet · 29/05/2023 22:36

Does anyone remember Eamon on one of the early seasons of The Apprentice? He was asked to provide a prize for a charity auction, and when the team suggested he bring the bidder for a meal, he objected because he'd have to put his hand in his own pocket to pay for it. Meanwhile, the other team had Diarmuid Gavin (I think) who donated a motorbike.

@Whoisbeingunreasonable hahaha welcome to GB News. More filler than Katie Price. Don’t worry you’ve not missed much other than Kim calling Holly a bitch and googling her eyes for 20 mins

EbonyRaven · 29/05/2023 22:37

I think I will give it a miss. Gone off Schofield a few months ago - after Q-gate, but I can't stand Holmes either. And like F will I watch that dreadful GB news grot.

IamSlave · 29/05/2023 22:39

"what planet is this man on the, they don't know anyone's name Holly didn. 't either! They are so removed, they don't care"

PerfectYear321 · 29/05/2023 22:40

He said they used to send cars for the runner to PS' flat to spend the night 😬

Alternatively, both Holly and Phillip could have released refreshingly honest statements (think George Michael/Hugh Grant/Max Mosley).
Phil: I shagged my runner and was scared he was going to out me so I came out myself. I've spent ££££££££££££ on trying to hush this up as I was scared I'd look like a nonce.
Holly: I knew they were shagging but figured it was their business. I was told by management to go along with it and have a mortgage to pay so did what I was told.

Totally agree with this. It's the cover up that's made everything so much more murky & drawn in both previous presenters & the media - and all of us on here!

Remember when Will Young was threatened with being outed back in 2003? And he just said 'yeah, I'm gay, I'm not ashamed of that' which totally removed it as a story.

SequinsandStilettos · 29/05/2023 22:41

Bobs
Response to no toxicity - EH Phil is delusional or lying. Chief narcissist.
Step back - EH taking public for fools. Holly wanted Phil gone.
Actions taken from production team/gagged - EH says heard rumours but brand was Team Phil/Holly. No changes because management tolerated for the £.
"Promotion" EH says MM promoted against his will to Loose Women/didn't seek the promotion.
DW says runner came in cab/EH Friday morning separate cabs
EH and RL knew he was in a bad way before the move/using lots of cash. He didn't share or disclose anything to them although he was close to Ruth. He felt alone. Press attention and pressure. Runner was not officially out himself.
Everything geared around making Holly and Phil happy.
EH RL were supportive to staff without seeking anything in return.
Loose Women - cast uncomfortable about the runner moving.
Unprecedented sidestep - who authorised and why?
Only 1/12 Loose Women liked Phil.
Ruth made formal complaint about LW handover : Phillip was rude/created an atmosphere. Production team distant and didn't care.

SequinsandStilettos · 29/05/2023 22:42

LW felt demeaned by Phil's disdain for handing over to the show.
AH been on show for13 years - the sudden friendship with HW orchestrated (BFFs)
Brand protection

PerfectYear321 · 29/05/2023 22:43

I read that Dan Wooton blackmailed PS into coming out or he was going to write an expose. Then wrote supportive articles about PS' coming out. What a nasty piece of work he is

IamSlave · 29/05/2023 22:43

*good summary but I thought he said Phil and Holly distant with product team and isn't care for them.

IamSlave · 29/05/2023 22:44

Perfect, totally agree he's no bloody angel

HeBeaverandSheBeaver · 29/05/2023 22:44

I stoped watching TM a few years ago when I discovered 5 live during covid. It's much better but all this gossip and bitterness and glee from the media and the public is getting too much. It's been days now.

I'm worried someone will get very mentally ill or worse. You may not like them but they all have kids and families. Remember poor Caroline flack.

Just stop it now journos !!!!

Chickenkeev · 29/05/2023 22:45

I've never watched this channel before. It looks like absolute muck altogether!

GB news is my guilty new pleasure!! I listen daily in the car now! I'm the kind of person if u met me in real life you'd think I would hate GBnews! I'm quite left wing! But I really enjoy it :) I've not got the greatest attention span and the 'news' items are all really short! The presenters have great voices I could listen to for hours! And even though I can't stand farage or Dan wooton or the others, I am finding myself absorbed by their programmes and their voices are so much easier to listen to than other presenters on other channels!

I totally couldn't admit this is real life as my friends are quite judgy about this kind of programme and the presenters on it, but I admit it, I love it!!!!

You'll end up like my dick head of a FIL and go from a left wing, rounded bus driver to a frothing twat after reading the daily mail for a few years. He isnt the brightest and it got him. His grandchildren have learnt to ignore most of what he says. Its sad to watch.

I’m not a fan of Holly but KW is very troubled and vitriolic and could start a fight in a paper bag.

By accepting you are a bit of a dick who's children/grandchildren will wonder were it all went wrong. Then it magically downloads.
