They don't have to front it though. Dermot in particular has plenty of other options.
No doubt they will though, as they've been fine ignoring it for TV time and money so far and did it last week. Given that it's clearly been ongoing chat backstage (suggested by the earlier WhatsApp), their occasional guests are suggesting they were aware, one claims to have made a complaint that was ignored but moved to/stayed on an adjacent programme run by the exact same execs, and it has been 'well known in TV circles for years' beyond TM and ITV Daytime, I don't believe for a second that any of the other hosts or regular segment contributors were not already aware...yet continued to work and renew contracts or even accept new contracts for those coming in more recently, be it awareness of the potentially illegal or at least immoral "affairs" or the hostile and bullying environment claimed.
I just don't buy the 'we didn't know', 'we are upset', blah, blah, blah narrative coming from ANY of TM staff or ITV Daytime in general. Your telling me Ruth and Eamonn were dumped from TM and the noisy old hags on the other show didn't push her for info as if they weren't aware already? Bull! PS is gone, HW will no doubt have to follow in desperate attempts to keep the show, and the rest will be sitting hoping that's enough for scapegoating. The threats of resignation hinted at in the papers will no doubt be the rats threatening to jump from the sinking ship in the hopes their careers will not be tarred, especially as more comes out whilst alluding to the fact that it widely known about.
