You won't get away with that on here, once NSC's got a witch hunt on the go, only the foolhardy, or slightly insane would dare stick their head above the parapet of all the clucking, outraged, sanctimonious middle-aged men and women who pile on lemming-like, wanting their pound of our Phil's flesh, all of whom have doubtlessly lived unwaveringly perfect, pious, saintly lives.Television presenting is much harder than people think and his viewing figures suggest otherwise.
I'm no fan of his and as for This Morning.. awful.
But he is a brilliant communicator only out of his depth when This Morning goes out it's depth interviewing politicians. He ain't a journalist that's for sure.
However credit where credit is due. Over promoted, lack of talent do not apply to him. He's forged a successful career for years across a number of genres in a commercial environment.
If he wasn't pulling in the viewers (and the advertisers) he'd have been off the screen years ago. ITV are ruthless and I'm not talking about Eamonn's ex-partner.
That's all he is there to do and he did it very very well for years.
