Do You Agree Ben and Cat Aren't Cutting It?

Other

Do you agree with a recent newspaper article? After watching Ben and Cat just a couple of times i decided that whoever chose Cat to be co-presenter had made a huge mistake. They didn't seem to get along as well as other partnerships and i felt Ben was a little exasperated by Cat's childish behaviour and pushing herself forward. They need to find him a more compatible co presenter

Stop watching it then, it's not rocket science. If you don't like it, turn it off!

TheChimp why do you always get so cross?Nowhere did I say I don't like it. There are many interesting articles and helpful ones too. I have always liked watching This Morning but the presenters can make or break a show. Ben I love but there is something about Cat that puts me off. I will continue to watch for the recipes, doctors advice, celebrity interviews etc. It wouldn't do for us all to like the same things.

We have had some good chats in the past but maybe you are having an off day, I will not take it personally.🤗

Lynibis Ah, ok, didn't mean to upset you, sorry.

I stopped watching daytime TV a long time ago because of the presenters

BRING BACK RICHARD AND JUDY 😃

TheChimp you haven't upset me silly monkey, I think I know you quite well by your comments by now lol.

I think Judy is very fragile now but I can see your point. Whilst I like most of the show I can't stand it when they interview nut jobs who say they're having a threesome with a ghost, or worse marrying one. It's almost abuse to encourage them in their psychosis, if that's the right word.

Lynibis Did you see the women's sex aid thing? Not quite sure whether it should have been on before watershed

TheChimp I must admit I do think lots of the stuff they show is near the knuckle and I feel for parents with kids at home, that does warrant a quick turn off.

I don't watch it so I wouldn't know, I would guess finding replacements for Schofield ect.. would be difficult

martinlufc5637 I don't why they didn't just stick with Alison and Dermot, they seem very able and get along well.

martinlufc5637 I could see it coming ... replacing safe Philip Schofield and Holly W with presenters who are all inexperienced to present a daily show.

I haven't seen a full show with them but have caught snippets here & there but even with that Iv noticed she isn't as good as him. I never understood why they choose them tbh, I thought they might have stuck with Josie as she is popular with viewers or Alison & Dermot who are so much better together now.

Not a regular viewer of this morning and haven’t managed to catch any of the new presenting duo. Think anyone would take a bit of getting used to though cause Holly & Phil were on it for so long

jms19 if you haven't caught it for a while you may not have seen all the stand ins they've had. It has made me realise that not everyone is suited and it takes a special person to present that show.

I didn't like Craig ----- , Cat Deeley, Josie too hyper and even Alison annoys me sometimes, she is not very intelligent and is awful if she has to read anything like the beat Brandreth quiz questions, but her personality makes up for it.

I don't watch This Morning, occasionally during the holidays when I'm off work. But I never thought that they would be a good duo. They should have stuck with Alison and Dermot, they are great together. I don't like Josie presenting, she is just too hyper for me.

I read the question and couldn’t work out who Ben and Cat were to start with. Then the penny dropped. So that should answer your question, no I don’t watch them.

maggie1979 they are the main presenters. But main presenters always have school holidays off, which happened two weeks after they started. Don't know Mel.

I enjoy watching This Morning with the recipes,medical,beauty and soaps etc.I like Ben Shepherd as a presenter. I don't know what it is about Cat Deeley? I find she talks over everyone and everything. She might be trying to hard at presenting the programme. I would have liked Craig Doyle and Josie Gibson as presenters.They are more down to earth.

hillmary615 Absolutely agree with you. I am sure Cat is a lovely person but I just can't take to her as a presenter. Ben does need someone a little more gregarious to balance his style but not her.
