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.

Thanks for the link; I think I watched at the time! Smile

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

On one of the other threads, a poster had linked to a Sonia Poulton video discussing TM and she said that, a make up artist had told her that HW would as good as bury her head in the wall, rather than acknowledge someone she deemed lesser in the corridor.
Obviously i can't verify that personally but that's what she said.

I love Eamonn and Ruth..Dan Wooten, no way, he’s pretty vile, but he’s pushing it all so for that it’s ok.

Ruth & Eamonn are good people.

Apart from Eamonn being a racist little bigot and hence he can only get work on GB News

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?

I'm sure they probably did know the source of his troubles. But the young man also needed to be helped and protected - it's his story too and if he was as troubled as it's being made out, he needed support and guidance. Not to be hounded by the press for a story. Sounds like they were trying to help how they could, when no one higher up wanted to listen.

EH & RL were swiftly removed form the TM sofa after RL lodged a complaint about PS so PS was being protected from a very high level within ITV.

Someone mentioned a nanny and HW on a thread, I wonder what was seen there? There was mention of some unpleasantness.

LittleDitto · 29/05/2023 23:58

It’s brilliant! Everything and out all of these people is utterly revolting, I couldn’t stop watching. They’re all so repugnant. Schofield is a grooming little shit. Kim calling Holly a bitch was excellent!

R & E have gone up in my estimations. It was obvious he couldn’t be 100% honest about the *relationship between PS & Mm, who knows legally what’s going on behind the scenes etc.
So glad RL is still in touch with him

I wonder what Ruth thought of everything Eamonn said. If she's close to the runner, I'm not sure how she'll feel about Eamonn blabbing about alluding to him being drug dependent.

Surely he would’ve cleared it all with Ruth? 🤷🏻‍♀️

He mentioned money twice and him needing money…he was really trying to put that out there 🤔

I definitely think the Loose Woman is Christine Lampard. She socialises a lot with Phil & Holly (or at least did) and does come across like she is a social climber. She also covered for Holly, and apart from Ruth I don’t think any other LW did TM

I think Eamonn came across well. Dan was trying to rile him up to say something controversial but he stayed calm and spoke factually.

People can say why didn’t they do something but if they say something and are then told it has been investigated what else could they have done. This was their job after all. If we were a whistleblower at our own work and was told that while an investigation was done there is no evidence to take it further, we wouldn’t demand something else happened or leave our jobs would we?

Feefee10 · 30/05/2023 00:33

To be honest it's well known that Phil had a problem with lots of people. I'm not sure why ITV covered for him so much? Grooming aside it was a open secret that he was an arrogant shit.

@Feefee10 This is the odd thing…why was he so protected, when everyone else was disposable, he wasn’t a particularly good presenter..weird

Gothambutnotahamster · 30/05/2023 00:43

Surely not Christine - she's married to Frank Lampard FGS, so that would make her A A list, not B list celeb?!

GoOnHoliday · 30/05/2023 00:46

EH could not get over how bad PS was at the job too.

There are a lot of victims in this sad tale, who were harmed and it was not their fault.

LeatherJacketWedding · 30/05/2023 01:19

The LW is definitely C.L (formerly C.B)
A quick google reveals hundreds of pics of her socialising with H.W
Nicole Appleton and Emma Bunton feature very heavily in their inner circle too.
lol to the poster who called C.L an A-lister! 🤣

Fraudornot · 30/05/2023 01:22

If ITV did this mock investigation and decided nothing was going on with PS and MM, why then did they have the coming out programme.
something is not adding up

Surely it was to do with the advertising revenue itv could get from Schofield hosting? Market and audience research would have shown them the numbers were better for Schofield and whoever rather than minus Schofield?

Treesandsheepeverywhere · 30/05/2023 01:47

Holly always said if it all ended, shed be fine with it as all she needs are her kids and husband.

Yet here she is holding on for dear life.

Ain't it funny what money and power do to people.
