Platel Official: That’s the moment I knew Holly and Phil’s show was over for good

Like millions of people, I have long been a fan of Holly and Phil’s “This Morning” show, a gem of a show. ITVnoon TV crown.

We all supported Philip Schofield When he came out as gay on live TV in 2020 after 27 years of marriage.

Holly Willoughbyhis dear friend of decades, was next to him on the couch and hugged him.

They’ve been through a lot together. For nearly 20 years they’ve been one of television’s most famous double acts, and we’ve loved them.

Most of us forgave them even after they apparently jumped the line to see the Queen lying.

But now their friendship seems to have reached a breaking point. And while Phil released a statement claiming that “as usual, we are best friends,” insiders were never convinced, with one insider calling his protests “desperate.” said. The couple is alleged to have “barely spoken” off camera.

What a terrible mess. What a grizzly thing to see such a public farewell.

The moment they knew it was over was Thursday’s show. The two danced a silly dance to Lulu’s boo-bang-a-bang, and he pranced like a possessed man, but Lulu was clearly embarrassed by this semblance of unity. intolerable.

Things started to get crazy when Phil’s brother went on vacation after being convicted of child molestation. Did Phil not tell Holly about his brother and was Holly enjoying his absence? Her friends say she’s staying on This Morning no matter what happens, making it clear she’s going to be Holly’s show, which seems a bit arrogant.

Either way, morning TV should be bright, silly, and life-enriching. This is the opposite. I got ugly.

I did two series of the political show Morgan & Platel with Piers Morgan on Channel 4, so I have a bit of insight into how TV couples fall apart.

At first we had great chemistry and were friends. By the end it became a screaming match and he won because he was a better presenter than I was and we couldn’t stand the sight of each other.

Fortunately, after parting ways with the company, we rekindled our friendship.

I hope Holly and Phil can do the same. But given the painfully cringing dance on Thursday’s show, I’m not sure that will ever happen.

sin of nonsense

9 years in prison for a trans woman who raped her girlfriend. Lexi-Rose Crawford was called “Miss” during her trial, and the indictment used in court strangely stated that “her penis” was used in the rape.

What nonsense. My view is that a person with a penis is not a woman.

Good luck, Lexi-Rose, serving time in a men’s-only prison.

I miss Chelsea’s Prince Happy

Prince Harry blames the media for his gorgeous girlfriend of six years, Chelsea Davy, breaking up.

The pictures of them together show a different version of Harry as we know him today. He’s maddeningly happy, affectionate and unfazed, a far cry from the misery he’s been since meeting Meghan Markle.

The Duchess of Sussex has apparently hired Kim Kardashian’s former security guard to be her caretaker.

He was with her when she made her first public appearance since she didn’t show up at her coronation, hiking through the California bush. Considering she was wearing Princess Diana’s £17,800 diamond Cartier watch and over £100,000 worth of jewelry, it’s no wonder she wanted a chunky beefcake.

Sunshine from The Colin From Account, a BBC comedy show about a lovely border terrier who has been hit by a car and has a spinal cord injury and can’t walk without wheels. Kind, warm, and funny. Moggy Ted, who was watching with me, wants a ticket to Dignitas at the moment he has to walk on wheels.

A terrible review of Book Club: The Next Chapter, the new movie about a group of prosecco-intoxicated older women starring Jane Fonda and Diane Keaton. Meanwhile, Last Vegas, starring Michael Douglas and Morgan Freeman drinking vodka, was a hit. Since when did it become funny that older men age ugly while women don’t?

Oz is on the map!

Ahead of tonight’s Eurovision party, Ted Russo’s actress Hannah Waddingham revealed that Australia had reached the final, much to Che Platel’s excitement. The Karmajons argue that they are not in Europe and should not be allowed to compete. But when did details matter in a song contest where most participants can’t sing? On the other hand, viewers may have thought they were voting for Albania. . .

Top scruff, Ed?

Beyoncé kicks off her 57-day world tour with a three-hour show featuring nine outfit changes. This includes costumes with fake arms and hands that lovingly caress the crotch. Jeans, lumberjack jackets, and rumpled T-shirts are a far cry from Ed Sheeran’s onstage approach. Still, the best-selling album of the year was his album, Subtract.

“He’s old enough to be a baby’s great-grandfather,” 79-year-old Robert De Niro repeatedly tweeted as he announced his seventh child with Tiffany Chen. “What’s that going to do for her?” Well, call me a cynic, but he’s worth $500 million.

Finally a great idea was born. Empower pharmacists to administer prescription drugs for minor ailments such as earache, reducing the burden on general practitioners. A wonderful pharmacist who has been with me for 25 years knows more about my medical history than a dozen GPs who see me at my local surgery.

It’s even worse that “impartial” civil servant Sue Gray was negotiating with Keir Sturmer to become chief of staff while overseeing the investigation into Partygate. Now Sky has revealed that Gray had “personal contact” with the chairman of the investigation, former Labor deputy Harriet Herrmann, during that period.

Partygate wasn’t just a witch hunt, it was a simple Labor coalition.

Speaker Lindsey Hoyle was furious with Business Minister Kemi Badenoch, who did not announce a U-turn in parliament over the repeal of the hateful EU law, but instead announced it in the newspapers. However, he voted for Brexit less than the wrath of 17 million people.

Turns out Rishi is a fan of Jilly Cooper’s Bonkbusters, and my vote goes to Rishi. His favorite novel, Riders, features CAD Rupert Campbell-Black in trousers so tight his eyes swim. Although, of course, our diminutive Prime Minister needs a ladder to saddle Rupert’s giant horse.

Trump or Joe…Help America

Donald Trump has hit back at a jury finding against him in a civil sexual assault lawsuit, saying he has no recollection of meeting accuser E. Gene Carroll. Amazingly, his poll ratings went up and he said he would run for president in the next election. So they have to choose between a sexist who can’t remember the woman he abused, or a mean Joe Biden who can’t remember when the last time he had sex. .

DCI Banks famed actor Stephen Tompkinson has been acquitted by a jury of charges of assaulting and inflicting head injuries on a drunken and aggressive man outside his parents’ home at 3 a.m. rice field. Those who need to be investigated are TV executives who blacklisted Star when he was indicted. Call it outdated, but what’s not to admire about a man determined to defend his castle?
