Holly Willoughby…on Dancing on ice.

For some reason I thought she wouldn’t be coming back, she seems a little different

she definitely values money over self-respect by staying with cheating husband

I hear you have a dog so you value parsnips over string beans.

That's what you sound like. It makes as much sense.

I guess it was part of the ITV contract they had with Little Miss Wholesome to give her another show, after she left This Morning. Or she's got some dirt on someone high up at ITV.

Or she's a career woman who's earned her place in front of the cameras through hard work?

Well she was smart enough to start her own agency, win a law suit against her old one, habe a successful career that she loves, become a multi millionaire in her own right,

if that’s thick in your book, I’d take it. Wonder what you’ve achieved,

Of course she isn't thick, but nobody in the media achieves what she has without a team of people around them and the sharpest of claws.

NonPlayerCharacter · 14/01/2024 22:35

Some people really don't like a woman enjoying her career, do they? And are really angry that a violent man couldn't keep a successful woman away from the job she loves.

We have a lot of MRA types on here these days. Just a reminder.

And do you pop onto threads about successful men and say the same thing?

She was already doing dancing on ice before hand, what are you talking about? Did you just want to have a go?

NoMoreFalafelsForYou · 14/01/2024 22:39

@Babymamamama
After everything she’s been through in her shoes I would take a step back focus on having a more private family life and let the husband be the main bread winner. Why doesn't the husband insist on that?
Yoo-hoo, the 50s called. They want their attitude back.

She's still got her annoying squeaky voice. Get someone new.

What an odd comment, did you expect her voice to change in the few months she's been off air?

I think she's a very good, professional presenter. Her association with Schofe and the stalking thing has led to her downfall but why should she give up her a career because of two degenerate men?

Mulhern on the other hand can fuck all the way off, he's good on In For A Penny but I can't take him seriously on anything else.

LadyGaGasPokerFace · 14/01/2024 22:43

She’s married to a tv producer, she’ll be fine 🤷🏼‍♀️

Her jawline is so defined

she might had surgery

Claws?

Oh God I'm cringing at the misogynists on here! 🙈🙈

Please tell me you don't have daughters?

ilovesooty · 14/01/2024 22:56

There are some horrible posts here. Why can't people leave her to get on with her job? No one is forcing you to watch her.

YetMoreNewBeginnings · 14/01/2024 23:14

It’s as if some people would have been happier had the man threatening violence beeb successful in driving her out of her career.

I don’t know her so I don’t care in a personal way, but all women should be happy at her being back at work because no woman should ever be driven out of her job by threats of violence from a man

Octomingo · 14/01/2024 23:17

If you watch vacuous shite like dancing on ice, then surely a vacuous host comes with the territory. Her job is to look pleasant and read an autocue. No one's asking you to be her best friend; she's filler. As are all presenters of TV like that.

Octomingo · 14/01/2024 23:19

I would like to know how they're justifying Bradley Walsh's son on gladiators though. And also, do you really need 2 of them?

Isitautumnyet23 · 14/01/2024 23:26

She’s been through a horrific ordeal - if someone plotted to kidnap and kill me, I think I would struggle to return to work for alot longer than she has. She obviously loves her career and doesn’t want to lose another job she loves.

PaintingPictures · 14/01/2024 23:36

She’s dodgy af. Covering for Schofield, as if she didn’t know, and the kidnap plot was certainly strange timing. There’s some dark secrets at ITV.

From her point of view though, she’s a presenter so she wasn’t going to disappear forever and not work. Plenty of dodgy men continue working so why not women. I do hope it all comes out one day though.

What was 'strange' about the timing please?

Would there have been a better time to go out and buy rope and a gag, and plot to kidnap and murder her?

Perhaps on her weekend off or something?

Restinggoddess · 14/01/2024 23:43

I don’t usually watch the program
Flicking through the channels I saw her in a silver dress - her figure was amazing and she is probably trussed up with a corset poor soul
Second thought was - male presenter gets a shirt, waistcoat and jacket to wear. She has a lot of bare flesh - next to an ice rink????

Why do female presenters have to suffer cold for the benefit of the viewing public?

I don’t really have a view on HB other than she should be free to wear more comfortable clothes

🙄🙄🙄 Oh please make it stop.

'Poor soul' FFS, like the woman is incapable of dressing how she pleases.

And anyway, she has an amazing figure with or without 'trussing' herself up.

Edited to say you've clearly never been near an ice rink, let alone a TV studio if you think it's cold.

I think it’s dodgy yes. She was getting a lot of grief for what Schofield did as it was a known rumour at itv so there’s no way she didn’t know. Then a story comes along to makes us all think ‘poor Holly’. I don’t believe it.

I’m not a misogynist. I said that if men carry on working after doing much, much worse than Holly turning a blind eye to her ‘friends’ behaviour, then why shouldn’t Holly carry on. I’d personally just like some decent people on tv but I don’t think there’s enough of them around. I think if we did have decent humans on tv, they would mostly be women as there are more disgusting men around.

PaintingPictures · 14/01/2024 23:58

That it came when everyone thought she knew about Schofield and she was getting a lot of negativity for turning a blind eye.

SpecialCharacters · 15/01/2024 00:00

@PaintingPictures

You really think the kidnapper, who is now is custody and is facing significant jail time, was somehow doing this at the behest of his intended victim?

Do you realize how deranged you sound?
