Eamonn & Ruth Dropped From This Morning

[Theblip]

No need to wonder why....but will you miss them?

[Bobbisox1]

Never have TV on during day now apart from the Jeremy Vine show channel 5 @09-15

[naomi24]

Apart from occasionally watching 'The Daily Politics', the news, and sometimes Prime Minister questions, I don't watch daytime television either.... but I might if there was something less brain-numbing than Eamonn, Ruth and Alison on offer.

[Bobbisox1]

I like the news topics of the day then it's off till the News at 6

[andy-hughes]

Everyone in entertainment has a shelf life - I am sure the outgoing presenters are experienced enough to know that, even if they don't like it.

[naomi24]

The changes are, I suspect, part of the BBC's £100 million diversity drive.

[brainiac]

Unlikely naomi - This Morning is an ITV show

[naomi24]

Haaa! Is it? Oops! Shows what I know about daytime television! :o)))

[naomi24]

i tend not to watch This Morning, the few times i have i wondered why these two were still in situ.

[Sqad]

Mrs sqad says....YES.
Dermot and that b..ac.k Alison Hammond are really 3rd rate.
She is loud, brash and rude and giggles all the time and everything seems to be a joke.
Mrs sqad is not a fan of Eamon and Ruth, but at least they are human and intelligent....she says.

I only have This Morning on as background noise whilst I'm working. Not really fussed who the presenters are tbh but I do find Eamonn and Ruth a bit boring.

I remember Alison Hammond way back when she was a housemate on BB with Jade Goody. That was my favourite BB series.

[jennyjoan]

she presented about 3 weeks ago on a Friday and she did bring a sense of jollity. Am sorry tho that E&R have lost their spot

[MartinMillar]

Hardly lost their spot they are now the holiday cover for 6 weeks

[lankeela]

Is this not racist in itself? Surely people should be chosen for their ability to present programmes not just because they have to have their quota of whatever minority they decide they must have. With the population of the UK being perhaps 80% plus of non minorities I hope they get their chances as well.

[bodeker]

Wont be watching , cannot stand that Alison woman .

[iluvmargie]

Never watch morning TV and definitely won't now!! This woman is just not professional enough in my opinion, she never seems to grow up. And yes, I think you are right blip.

[Mj56]

I don’t watch the show unless it’s Ruth and Eamonn, Holly and Phil are over rated, I think Dermot is good at presenting and yes Alison is a giggle but she can do serious as well

[MynameisLuca]

When I have watched it I found Alison Hammond just too enthusiastic, I can take her in small doses.
Loved that show Ruth and Eamonn were in 'How the Other Half Lives' what a great gig that was.

Well at the end of the day the audience figures will be what counts

So , every time a black person gets a job on TV ; it will be because she/ he is black .

No chance it could possibly be because they merit the job ?

What do people say when a white person is dropped and replaced by another white person ?
