Her actions and non actions throughout this whole saga makes it abundantly clear shes clearly just a fake nice person, how disappointed . She needs to go now

*on with it

All tv presenters are supposed to smile and be like everyone’s friend. Although when they disagree strongly about something the smile goes, at best they just say how they feel at worse storm off.

Time for you to find a new hobby. I’m so sick of this ‘let’s end someone’s career and happiness, how fun!’. It is enough. I can only imagine how desperately depressed these knocked down people are. How their friends and families must feel as well. This constant witch hunt is sickening.

You have no idea - you see her persona on Tv … Phil crossed a line . Do you quit your job for someone else doing something wrong at work .

I don't think she should quit because of PS. I just don't think she's a very good presenter anymore...and I'd prefer to see someone else in that role

I think a new daytime show with Fern and Ruth would be just the ticket.

Like it or not, This Morning has the clart of shite about it now.

The yap about all being ‘family’ and asking ‘if we are ok?’ is a nonsense.

Totally agree with this^^

The “are you ok?” made me want to vom it was so disingenuous and self-important as if no one has anything more serious going on in their lives! And the “let’s go back to being the family we are” almost made me spew again!

Not a very wise choice of words I thought either if she wants to stay. Haven’t we had enough fakery with Phil?

I suspect Fern and Ruth will be deemed too old by the powers that be unfortunately but I would love to see someone with half a brain presenting the programme.

You don’t have to #beKind to not be a horrible vitriolic twat. There is middle ground.

Alan987 · 05/06/2023 16:24

For goodness sake she's a presenter, probably reading other peoples words / scripts and she's upset at a colleague.

Is she so immune to the horrors facing the world in Ukraine, starving in Africa, women not be allowed to be educated in Islamic Afghanistan, and she is upset because she thinks someone fibbed.
Grow up
And no I do not and never have watched itv morning / daytime garbage tv

Enough with the witch hunts.

This! They're just daytime tele presenters who talk about making flans and nice frocks at the end of the day anyway, aren't they? So who cares.

Cashycashy · 05/06/2023 16:39

It’s not her fault he did what he did!

why should she take the fall for him?

nachotemple · 05/06/2023 16:40

why are people so overinvested in this situation? it's a bit mad.

watermeloncougar · 05/06/2023 17:06

HW is just a mouthpiece saying the words someone else has written and wearing the clothes and make up she's been styled in. So it's impossible to say whether she's fake or not, because for all we know, she could be thinking the whole 'are you ok?' script was a pile of shite.

That said, she's not a great presenter and I'd happily see her replaced, though tbh 99% of ITV is a load of crap so who cares. I can well believe it's a shit place to work with little regard for employees too

the80sweregreat · 05/06/2023 17:09

I liked Josie Gibson's blue dress she wore today
Any one have any idea where she got that ?
Holly didn't sound that sincere with her ' are you ok ' speech
Like she cares tbh

ArcaneWireless · 05/06/2023 17:14

I’m going to be no help to you @the80sweregreat

I thought it was green… 🥴

I’m guessing my eyes are not what they were…

the80sweregreat · 05/06/2023 17:19

It was a lovely dress!

ArcaneWireless · 05/06/2023 17:36

@the80sweregreat

I’m no maven but this looks awfy similar? You are right - it looked very summery and fresh.

remember my wonky eye

lollipoprainbow · 05/06/2023 17:38

I'd have more respect for her if she had walked away I'm sure she wouldn't be short of offers as she seems very popular god knows why, Instead she clings on to the sinking ship milking it for all its worth all the while throwing her supposed best friend under the bus.

the80sweregreat · 05/06/2023 17:46

If the bbc take on Ms Willoughby , even I might give up on I player and stop paying the license
I feel that I'm the only one who does this anyway, lots of people don't bother these days
They probably can't afford her anyway tbh

Greengreengrass231 · 05/06/2023 17:47

I agree 100%
hard to watch it with her filthy lies in mind, taking her viewers for gullible fools

the80sweregreat · 05/06/2023 17:47

Thanks for the link below
Zara don't tend to do my size , but it is a lovely dress.

Greengreengrass231 · 05/06/2023 17:48

Even her outfit was carefully picked. White to symbolise innocence and virtue. She should go

JustGeorgie · 05/06/2023 17:50

Go....to be replaced by?

ArcaneWireless · 05/06/2023 17:51

Nor me 80s. A buttoned down frock for me would be a risk.

the80sweregreat · 05/06/2023 17:55

I liked Hollys dress tbh. Wouldn't look good on me and be stained within minutes with tea or food.
They also had that lovely little boy on with his mum who did the fund raising. He was great and they must have felt awkward I suppose
It was al so orchestrated though at the start.
I only watched it to see what she would say
I found it fake, but then I've never been a fan of hers.

GonnaGetGoingReturns · 05/06/2023 17:55

I don’t know much about Holly only a journo friend has worked with her and met her at tv awards and says she’s not very nice at all. Although I do think she probably knows more than she’s letting on and is clinging to her career by a thread I don’t think she deserves the vilification. I do think This Morning has had it’s time and a lot of ITV’s shows and behaviour needs to be looked into as it does seem quite toxic.

So what if she wore white to express her innocence? White also shows off a tan.
