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.

Yeah dm are notorious for that indirect stuff. Am I the only one wondering where this young man's parents are in all of this?

First time I've watched GB News and I was more interested in the adverts to be honest. I'm in the West Mids so not sure why I'd need to go to Wales to buy a new sofa or sell gold, but I'm easily entertained. 😂

SequinsandStilettos · 29/05/2023 23:06

Reading back what I typed, yes, sorry - EH said Phil and Holly distant from production. Whereas I read today that Dermot and Rylan often spoke with them after shows/did debriefs etc

There were three takeaways from all that.

  1. The runner in question got through a lot of cash/needed a lot of money.
  2. He wasn't openly gay when he joined the show.
  3. Carolyn McCall Chief Exec ITV and Emma Gormley MD daytime ITV studios were told of the speculated relationship.

Gosh, I loved that, even if I had to sit through 90 minutes of GB news. I’ve never seen it before, it’s quite, er, interesting.

Eamonn really has an axe to grind and was hinting that MM had a drug problem.

I have heard before that Phil and Holly were completely unfriendly with the show staff. Seems it’s true.

I don’t see how Holly can come back from any of this.

Ijustcantthinkofaname · 29/05/2023 23:08

Feel so sorry for this young lad, he was obviously v vulnerable and it sounds like it completely messed him up, kind of Ruth to be there for him.

I really wish some others would come out with their stories now too..Rylan, Amanda, Fern etc..to back it all up

I've just realised that Eamon Holmes and Alan Titchmarsh are different people. I did wonder why they had a gardener doing This Morning.

😂

Ijustcantthinkofaname · 29/05/2023 23:09

It’s clear to see Eamonns anger, there must be so much more he can’t/won’t say and that he knows and witnessed

Yes, I’d love Fern to speak out. They were not friends by the end of her time on TM.

@Simianwalk.. What in the earth are you talking about?

Philip? Eh?

Didn't think you would get it somehow.

GoOnHoliday · 29/05/2023 23:14

EH may be right fisted financially, he was generous in other ways, which I don't find hard to believe that he got the Runner some jobs. He really was left in a bad way by the sounds of it. I singled he is in contact with RL.

The one loose women mentioned who likes PS doesn't surprise me.

fourbedwinner · 29/05/2023 23:17

I wonder who the loose woman is that he says likes to be known in certain circles. He basically called them a social climber. But who?

If you watch the breakfast show you get adverts for farm machinery voiced by the man with the loud, excitable voice too. It's a whole new world!

"BBC had become so aggressive and interrupt-y towards their interviewees I began to long for the days of "fluffy" breakfast TV. "

Oh you mean in the days of the lovely, innocent and fragrant Frank Bough you mean? 🤨😁

savory · 29/05/2023 23:20

Shite talking about shite on a shite channel - I reckon that's shite.

IamSlave · 29/05/2023 23:20

@Simianwalk

What planet are you on. Your addressing me pole you know me

.
Yes op.. He's white hot with rage and yes something big is about to blow.
Eh isn't covering himself with glory here the slightly cross eyed gesture he did re Phil reading the autocue!

I was too young to know about Frank at the time.

Ch5 recently did something on him. He would be fine on screen after a wild night out.

Jim from Corrie is a friend of Eamonn's.

Oh, THAT Jim Mcdonald, he wot hardly had a line to say as he was banged up in the big house for most of corro's history 🤣

Porkandbeans1 · 29/05/2023 23:25

Well no one has come out of this looking good. If the rumours are true I imagine Holly's rather nervous regarding the implication of drug use.

IamSlave · 29/05/2023 23:27

What rumours fe drugs use?

User18538754 · 29/05/2023 23:29

PS already said he took drugs ages ago so that's nothing new

FMLWTF · 29/05/2023 23:30

I don’t know if we’re allowed to say this but HW is practically famous for her enjoyment of snow-based activities. Sniff sniff.

tobee · 29/05/2023 23:30

Frank Bough story at the time was 🤯🍿🤯🍿. He was the original avuncular chap on the sofa with a garish jumper in the U.K.

God knows how Twitter etc would have coped if it was around at the time of his exposure.

Endlesssummer2022 · 29/05/2023 23:31

Didn’t EH say something about the terrible way PS and HW ‘socialised’ during last weeks rant? I took that as a euphemism for drug taking.

FMLWTF · 29/05/2023 23:32

Are we to believe that in all the time Eamonn and Ruth apparently spent with the boy in question, after they’d noticed he was “in a bad way” - they didn’t think to ask him if PS was the source of his troubles?
