Eamon Holmes ringing up Fern unexpectedly is classic!! Hahaha! 100% to talk about Pipsqueak.
And maybe it's me projecting, but that seems like such a deliberately worded Tweet. Pointing out it was 'unexpected', pointing out they'd been friends longer than Phil's been on This Morning. Is it just me or does it really read like she wants Phil to see? Maybe just my cynical mind!

I've been with you since Thread 1 (the titles alone have been incredible), but this is the first time I've posted. My friend has had an update from her friend who works on another daytime ITV show and it seems that where we've got to is pretty much what the talk is around ITV too, suggesting we're not far off the mark!
So the source said:
Phil does have a separate home in London for his 2nd life. The source had heard this years ago (and about Holly and the rest of the James Grant management posse all being coke heads) but hadn't wanted to beliive it as they've always wanted to like Phil and Holly.
Matt McGreevy was a runner at This Morning but wanted to move onto other things. Phil didn't want this as he seemed to really like Matt, so requested Matt to be his Personal Assistant AND a runner, and made it so that Matt worked on every show Phil worked on. (The source also said that Matt strutted about like he owned the place after this)
Matt and Phil had a secret relationship. The source doesn't know what then happened but the talk around ITV is that Matt got screwed over (!) and he decided to sell his story. Which then got shelves when Phil found out and agreed to do a 'Tell All' exclusive instead.
On the day of Phil's announcement, someone in the source's team, asked Matt what he knew about Phil and he said "I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT" and then not long after his name started to get out and so his boss at Loose Women gave him time off as he started being hounded by press and everyone he comes into contact with
AND...Phil's been grooming 15 year old boys and giving out his personal email address to them, offering them work experience on This Morning which she stated no other celebs she's worked with would EVER do.
The Source also said that it's well known that Dan Wootten hates Phil, and that the support is just for show.
The talk at ITV is that now they expect his lovers to all try and sell stories but they aren't sure what NDAs would have been signed by Phil's lovers or what injunction Phil has got as, like us, they can't work out why no press are reporting on the rumours
And that's all! I do think the sad Caroline Flack news may mean this all takes longer to come out as the press will be warned about not 'hounding' Phil or anyone else on this topic. And I agree with that, but I strongly believe that the truth needs to come out on this one.

No wonder people keep quiet about abuse when you see the levels of victim blaming. It's disgusting.

Do you think they will address it like when Blue Peter had to tell the kids that Richard Bacon had done something very wrongIt’s going to be a bit awkward when they cover the news headlines tomorrow isn’t it

I haven't watched the full mea culpa from this increasingly demented wild eyed vape enthusiast but I believe he said he was not in love with The Runner. To me, that makes everything he did far, far worse.
Not that I approve but when Bill Wyman got collared he married Mandy Smith, thus trying to make it appear as a true love match. As I say, I think he should have been nicked tbh, but I see the 'it was just a sh@g' comment as making it sound far worse when it's already beyond sickening.

The more I see Tattle being right, the more I believe industry insiders are here and In some instances are trying to protect youngsters and more importantly children by dropping inside information.
There should be a protective whistleblowing avenue for all media employees. The only reason ppl don’t come out and say anything is due to large agencies with top lawyers on speed dial. Of course Philph has admitted this to distract and negate more serious allegations. It disgusts me that the papers will bury more serious allegations for the juicy front page admission. The idea philph possibly had an injunction that a judge allowed to stand to prevent this coming out absolutely stinks to the highest echelons of society.
Many years ago they brought in rules to say teachers could not have relationships with students who were between 16-18 years old. This was to make it easier to prosecute the teachers who groomed and then abused the young people in their care. Famous/ influential people entering into ‘relationships’ with teenagers is still grooming and abuse in my eyes and the industry must start to protect the young people who innocently enter the profession at the lowest levels.
If MM has signed an NDA would it now be worth him breaking it? Are there any legal fraus who could expand on the possible legal implications for him?
I have a nasty feeling the police should be trawling these pages judging by the not so subtle allegations around other high profile national treasures in the acting and scientific areas.

Pip is a nasty control freak. I know someone who used to be a runner in the show and she said he was a mysogynist who controlled everything. He handpicked holly to make himself look good and he has the final say on those who do segments. He makes my skin crawl.

Many years ago, my best friend from school married a man, they had two kids.
When my daughter was in secondary school, I noticed his car a few times and never thought anything of it, I then saw him give a lift to girl who wasn’t much older than my daughter at the time. A few days later I saw the girl walk past our window and I watched as she went to our friends house. He answered the door and she went inside. My friends car wasn’t there. I was suspicious so informed the police.
I told my then friend that I called the police after what I saw as I felt it was my, it turned out, he was in a relationship with the girl and they seized his phone and was arrested, charged and went to prison. She accused me of destroying their family but even more shockingly she stood by him and we have never spoken since.
If it was my brother or sisters that done that. I would do exactly the same and make no apologies for it.

The timing of this announcement is interesting to say the least, considering the rumours of friction between PS and Ruth/Eamonn. He’ll be untouchable now
hope he’s paying you time and a half to be working into these late hours

So Wooton is saying that ITV cars used to drive MM from Television Centre to PS’s apartment. How on earth can ITV claim they knew nothing? Why would a runner need to travel to PS’s apartment after work every day? He also says it was known and accepted that MM was a “non negotiable” part of PS’s life.

I just briefly explained the PS-MM history to my 15 year old. All I said was that they first met when MM was 15, then he ‘somehow’ started working at ITV and then PS started sleeping with him.
I said PS says there was no grooming and it was all a consensual, adult relationship, and he’s very sorry now it’s public knowledge.
My son’s reaction?
“Yeah I bet he is now it’s public knowledge and he’s lost his job. No one’s buying it, are they?”
(My 15 year old does not identify as straight, btw, so there’s no homophobia in my house)

Has anyone else watched The Morning Show? With the early scenes of Steve Carell’s character having a crisis meeting? Every single part of the charade ITV has put up about this has given me flashbacks to that show.
Who wants to bet Holly finds a young (but not too young, obvs) coattails to ride her way through the storm just like Jennifer Aniston’s character…..
Overall I’m really hoping that This Morning ends. It’s become a disingenuous, vapid shadow of its former self, it’s so forced and fake, completely predictable and soulless
just like holly.

I don't expect many runners got to have professional showreels done for them, especially on something unrelated to their actual job.
Definitely a case of Phil' fix it for you. It should have rung massive alarm bells that this was above and beyond the norms.
