Sorry if I've missed this, but this is what I struggle with...why would have MM been included in NTAs if bosses were aware of a toxic atmosphere and a soured PS/MM relationship. MM is crew, not cast or part of senior team - Joan Ferguson said crew are hardly invited but as her sources are credible she knows that he was included and potentially part of loose women..
Could Joan Ferguson be correct and there was actually more to the runners story than the papers reported?
Was this what caused the tensions at the NTA Awards? Phil was on the vaping pipe after and looked very stressed out!!!
Only one week later PS makes his announcement that he is Gay !!!
The Sun said it was 3 runners and it was Phil who wanted them to leave:
'Onlookers revealed how three runners, who help make the ITV show, went inside but were quickly removed on Phil’s orders.
They said: “Phil didn’t want to celebrate the win with anyone that wasn’t top brass.
“He was friendly to the runners but they were then asked to leave. It’s typical of that kind of attitude they have on This Morning.'

But I don't know...the bosses are the same.
So did the runners have standard tickets but gatecrashed the VIP area? I asked this yesterday but was knocked down for asking this.
I mean if he was invited do you think bosses were more concerned about employment law and didn't realise how serious it was?
***Do you think MM was dragged into the office with bosses regarding gatecrashing at NTAs and this was when MM told the bosses***
It was 10 days between NTAs and the announcement.
The Sun were already digging about the toxic relationship. *Maybe MM didn't go to the papers* but bosses were aware that it was all going to come out so they orchestrated the whole thing. Arranged the interview with the Sun to stop them digging?
