In October 2011, Holmes provoked criticism by suggesting that a rape victim should take taxis in future, leading to accusations of victim blaming.[39]

On 12 May 2016, Eamonn Holmes provoked criticism by comparing an attack by West Ham fans to the Hillsborough disaster.



There are an endless array of controversies surrounding him ..

How fast did the act on Jeremy Kyle, off air straight off...if they wanted him gone he would be

Who knows .. maybe the latest one was the last straw ... there could even be issues we don’t even know about 🦽

Ruth and Eamonn are great presenters. Professional and funny. Love them.

Dermot O'Dreary, Allison Hammond and Rylan Clark are TV presenters from Hell. Never liked Hammond in Big Bother. Used to like Dermot but he's become very boring. Rylan and Allison, both talentless jumped up ex Big Brother contestants. They're just big mouth show offs. Nothing else.

So they are back next Summer Holiday.

What Phil did to his wife was horrendous. She spent her youth and middle age years with someone who could never fully love her, and had no idea about it. He has being lieing to his wife for decades. Poor woman.

that is what makes it worse

To be fair it pales in comparison to some other selfish/cowardly acts down the years ..


Apparently there were two incredibly high profile female tv stars who put their careers before innocent kids by turning a blind eye to SaVILE’s horrendous activities. ... . allegedly..

Rylan hasn’t been a this morning regular for years now, I think he only does the very occasional holiday shift

Rylan is more or less a BBC employee these days. Didnt Rylan once present the show with Dan Neal, his partner? I'm certain he has. It seems some types of diversity are Ok but others not so much.

Probably not.

Why do you think this hypothetical question matters? (Genuine)

You'll have to explain further. What fakery?

She's been a presenter for over a decade. If she was rubbish they'd have got rid of her.

[GiRTh]

Looks like Lt's not gonna reply to my last post so I'll post again.

It seems like its personal and you just dont like her LT. So the question is how is that being 'woke'?

Project?

Now I know you arent being serious so I'll ask the question again and not engage in whatever it is you're trying to do. How are This Morning being 'woke' as you stated in your first post?

Simple question. Please answer it.

Struggling? Insult?

I've asked a question and you haven't answered it so I'll ask again. How is this a 'woke' move.

I'll just keep asking the question LT so you may as well answer it.

4th time. How are This Morning being woke?

Because apparently black people arent allowed to be given jobs for their talent anymore, it’s just all a big game to weed out the white people!

OK

I see it all now. Thank you. Most enlightening

Sack someone for ruining a woman's life and basically committing fraud and likely putting her health at risk. Seems reasonable my love!

Nothing to do with his job though

[Kizzy]

I can't stand any of them I think I'd like vernon kay and his wife to do it, not that I watch it but they are a bit more likeable.
