I thought same, can’t quite bring myself to watch all of it but saw the tiktok mention, also HW said something like she wasn’t on it so can’t be down with the kids or something similar and PS sort of shrugged. I was glad she said it, she’s not even 40 and more or less saying it’s not for her age group and there’s almost 60 year old PS thinking he’s cool and trendy and actually looking ridiculous. I too thought how many times can you mention tiktok, it was bizarre.
I watched it once, but with the benefit of pause and rewind, I think it would make very interesting viewing. I think he got the hump when JT and HW didn't give him the reaction he desired when first raising TikTok. He seemed to spend the rest of the cooking sketch in a silent sulk, and his body language was strange. I think HW is definitely trying to distance herself from him - as much as is possible on live TV. He then had that terribly embarrassing TikTok played with him looking like a geriatric alongside HW and AH. Quickly followed up with a desperate plea of "You're on TikTok, aren't you?" to Rylan. It is almost as if he is flailing about for safety in numbers, able to say 'Oh, everyone is on TikTok' if ever questions are asked about anything he, at 57 years old, has been doing on a site so popular with teenagers.
My prediction is that he is hanging on to get through to hosting the DOI final, then he will take an extended break from TM, probably never to return. I think he is keen to maintain his evening show(s) which form a part of his contract at ITV, and will happily forgo TM. He knows if he had taken a break while DOI was on, he was jeopardising his future on the network as he would have been deemed unreliable, and risked being dropped from other presenting roles. For Phil, it is all about the fame, status and $$$.
Anyway, new thread suggestion;
