Away With You, Fern Britton!
Can't wait for her to leave This Morning. She's so fake.
Melanie Sykes for replacement, I hope. Much more grounded.

she seems more smug/unfunny then ever at the moment,blimey .... i dread to think what fridays show will be like !!!!!
I think it's the right time for her to go. She doesn't come across as being truly a part of the show anymore.
She may have lost weight with her band, but she seems to have aged 5 years since having it done.
I think Vickery is staying
Got a funny feeling Holly Willowtree will be Schofield's sidekick
That very often happens with fat women - they look haggard and shrivelled after they lose wait. Skinny's really only a good look for very young women - when they age they need a few curves to divert your attention from the wrinkles.
Schofe seems intent in bringing Holly Woollybee on board. Talk about overkill once Dancing On Ice returns!!
Please no for Melanie Sykes. She's as bland an insincere as the average Breakfast TV presenter. Put her on the One Show sofa next to Christine and watch them try and have a conversation. That would be a challenge.
Yes, I'm afraid I am not a fan
Not sure who'd be any good for This Morning. Anyone suggested has been equally dull and free of personality. There's too many chat shows and they're all the same, and usually just consist of presenters interviewing other presenters.
Anyway, since Friday is Fern's last day, surely she'll stay home as usual and Holmes and Ruth will be there instead?
Hope its not Mel Sykes, she is bloody awful.
Holly would be great though, love her on Xtra Factor.
Britton Bites Back!
Apparently there is talk of his wages being too big for ITV. Depends on whether he has agreed to a gastric band around his pay packet.:)
So Phil and Fern are doing her last show next Friday (Fern's birthday) with all sorts of special things!
And the BBC have very cleverly ensured Fern's first post This Morning show for Friday night (first edition of the new Question of Sport type quiz about TV programmes in which she is one team leader) (mind you they put it head to head with Coronation Street which will pretty much demolish the chances most of her fans will tune in live).
Yes the reek of desperation off them on Friday was vomit inducing.
So you've never heard anyone say that kind of thing before? Of course there will be best bits, flowers, tears etc it happens all the time and not just in TV jobs. "I don't want a fuss".
I like Ruth and Eamonn but they did seem a bit desperate to be back. I hope Ruth is back, and lets face it she probably will be of Holly or Davina gets the job but I can't say the same about Eamonn.
Yet she still insists there is no problem between her and Phil regarding salary etc..... Does not sound like a happy departure from This Morning. On one hand Fern says she wants to spend more time with her family and yet she is already lined up to appear on some kind of comic show and is still going to appear on Mr and Mrs with Phil. Think she is taking an awful risk leaving a popular show at the age of 51 as television does not seem to love older women, just ask Arlene from Strictly Come Dancing!! Fiona left GMTV and now she is doing ad for Olay!! I am sure she thought the TV world was stand with open arms for her and look what happened. Fiona now says she made a mistake in leaving GMTV.
Mel must earn her money with yet another advert. This time with Churchill set in Paris. I wonder how Churchill avoids quarantine, hmm.
She is looking haggard and old. When she was plump her skin was beautiful and her smile reached her eyes. Now she has a huge false grin, her eyes are dead and her body language speaks volumes.
Mind you she'll probably be ill after today's episode ... did anybody else see that dark haired woman who was cooking? Well, preparing food shall we say:rolleyes:
She was touching her face, scratching herself and had her hair hanging all over her face and had to keep pushing it back behind her ears. I wouldn't have eaten anything she prepared. Fern was cramming it in though as usual. I'm sure she thinks now she has a gastric band she will try and prove how "very normal" she still is.:rolleyes:
I would have thought with all the talk of healthy eating, hygiene and avoiding summer "bugs" This Morning could have set a better example than that. Even Philip joked that the cloth they found for her to wipe her hands had "been there about 3 weeks."
Roll on Friday and, as I've said before ... we'll get all the crocodile tears, "funny" clips, fave moments, probably her her family and a mini This is Your Life. Betcha! Sick bowls to the ready!!:eek::)
