Alison is good for every now and again side segments. Too much of her she gets annoying šŸ˜‚

I well prefer Ruth & Eamonn. I cant stand Phil, its about time they bin them off. Holly is alright I suppose!

It's so transparent that they use Alison so much more now to try and show diversity. Using someone because of the colour of their skin doesn't help society.

They have really done one on E&R, Ruth is very down to earth and at 10am in the morning I like her gentle nature. Eamon has been a journalist, news broadcaster, presenter for years, some times people dont get his humour but I find him much more sincere and caring during interviews, he knows what he is doing, just cant see Alison taking anything seriously.

This Morning needs a revamp, I do like Eamonn & Ruth but I canā€™t stand the giggling & private jokes that Holly & Phil seem to have, they donā€™t seem respectful of their guests either, laughing & smirking at them at times, I always get the feeling Phil Vickery isnā€™t keen on them either.

Had to find this thread to have a moan.. Roch is killing TM. Phil advertises a story about people not being able to see thier dentists and resorting to DIY dentistry. Roch spots her rich expensive dentist is going to be on the show and she perks up all giddy about how she's due an appointment. Ffs read the room!!

She's so unrelatable šŸ¤¦šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø

What an absolute piss poor excuse.

Fuck off. You jumped the queue and have come up with this bollocks after being called out about it. This ā€˜featureā€™ would never have existed otherwise.

Stupid cunts

Fun little story:
A few years ago, my parents were in the process of selling their house. They had an open viewing for about 3 hours. After it finished there was a knock on the door and it was Alison Hammond asking if she could view the house. To which my dad replied ā€œno youā€™re too lateā€ she then replied asking if my Dad knew who she was. His response was ā€œno, not a clueā€ and shut the door on her.
Knocked her down a peg or two! šŸ˜‚

Personally Iā€™ve nothing against Rochelle but she is simply not main presenter material. Sheā€™s fine in the fashion segments where sheā€™s reliant on cue cards to convey simple information and itā€™s all very regimented. Itā€™s introduce model, run through items, thank model, next model repeat! Sheā€™s fine if itā€™s heavily scripted and predictable.

Live TV? Sheā€™s awful. She cannot read the autocue and stumbles over her words. Itā€™s uncomfortable as a viewer watching an amateur who should be better than she is by now. Sheā€™s trying to hide her mistakes by acting ditzy but it comes over as fake and desperate to be like Holly.

Also, for a show like this morning, you need to have empathy and listening skills. When doing emotive subjects, you can see her looking at the script for the next question to ask. Sheā€™s too afraid to go off script to listen to the guests and ask questions off their answers. Interviews are therefore stilted as a result.

Plus, her social media doesnā€™t exactly project the image she wants to portray on This Morning. Like the call in on those poor women who are worried about debt. You could see she had no interest/awareness in it and as a viewer when you see on socials her kids dressed head to toe in designer and her shopping for Ā£5 juice in Harrods- it just adds to this fake presenter persona.

A statement from Allisson regarding something she said about singing in theatres. šŸ™„ This is what is wrong with cancel culture. Any conflicting opinions have to be apologised for and retracted. It's not that deep. Some people are offended by everything.
Her/Vanessa and Dermot were all in the wrong though, Dermot laughing his way through the segment was disgusting.

They were advocating for sheer disrespect of professional performers. It's was so wrong. And it absolutely is something she should retract.

You don't go to the theatre to see a musical and want to listen to audience members singing over the cast - and by Vanessa's comments, singing the wrong words.

Theatre is expensive to watch, it deserves respect to the professional performers and to the fellow audience members paying a lot of money to see a show.

This isn't about cancel culture, it's calling out the bullshit they were peddling on This Morning and having respect for professional performers.

My perfect hosts would be Ruth and eamon full time. I really loved them on this morning! Iā€™d love to see them back but I doubt it would happen now. Iā€™d also love Ruth and Rylan!

I know one of Martin Lewisā€™ writers, and he said ML is really lovely and works extremely hard. Very fair and pays the team well, and really encourages a good work/life balance. Heā€™s very driven by the need to help people. My friend said that itā€™s clear ML is on the spectrum, so if you donā€™t know him his communication can come across strangely at times (and heā€™s quite shy) - but that he is a genuinely good egg.

Rylan is wonderful. Is he a qualified journalist with masses of gravitas? No. But he's warm and funny and is the best male host the show has ever had IMVHO. He works well with Josie.
