Sick of reading about it all, boy am I glad I am Jo Public.

OK some reality checks.

Boris Johnson was in their This Morning programme, he posed for a photograph at the end of the interview- The selfie

The Spin the Wheel game has been on This Morning since before Covid, they added an extra section a couple of weeks ago - pay your energy bill for a year - turning the cost of living crisis into a trivial game show.

I cannot comment on the alleged queue jumping incident as I didn’t witness it and Phil & Holly’s along with ITV’s explanation differs greatly from that of the gotcha journalists and Twitter Stazi

And as for calling them airheads they have both had long and successful careers in broadcasting, Phil has been presenting This Morning for 20 years …

Typical gutter press, one day you are cock of the hoop - next day you are a feather duster.

It's light relief from all the other really important things which are happening.

No I don't. I'm sure they weren't the only people who skipped the queue for the Queen's L in S so why they are they the only ones targeted in this way? I don't ever watch anything they are on, not because of them but because of the type of stuff they do is not what I enjoy. My only exception being 30 + years ago when he was in the Broom Cupboard with Gordon the Gopher, now that was quality TV wink I don't care and I am confused why others do.

How unpleasant to call them or anyone else "airheads".

Reminder to self: be glad you're not famous. The pack can turn on a sixpence.

Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn...

(I think that anyone who does is the airhead)

Seems like Holly and Phil are at the centre of unpleasant Twitter storm. This is after — They posted selfies with Boris Johnson
-Made the cost of living crisis up into a trivial game show
- Went to the Queen’s lying in state without queuing ( apparently they are “journalists”)
I’m no fan and never watch morning TV, but do we really care about these people? Are they just airheads?
