I was on msn and came acroos this interesting http://www.mirror.co.uk/celebs/news/2009/05/08/chris-moyles-tells-phillip-schofield-he-should-leave-this-morning-instead-of-fern-britton-115875-21341908/. I didn't see This Morning but im guessing this is another thing Chris has said that has been taken out of context?
Heres the story:
Chris Moyles humiliated This Morning host Phillip Schofield on TV yesterday by telling him he should leave the show rather than Fern Britton.
The Radio 1 DJ tore into the presenter and said he would no longer be tuning in once Fern goes.
Embarrassing Schofield further, he declared the show would be rubbish without her.
Moyles, 35, then said he would quite fancy being a This Morning host. The presenters thought he was talking about doing the show with Schofield. But Moyles chipped in: "Sorry, I was talking about you staying Fern."
Looking shocked and surprised, Schofield said: "What and I go? Oh, OK. I'll just go now then." The subject then changed before the interview caused more awkwardness for Schofield.
He asked Moyles: "Will you be happy to come back again?" The DJ replied: "When Fern goes no, I only come because I love Fern." Schofield hit back: "Well that's OK because you won't be invited." Moyles appeared on the ITV daytime show after new figures yesterday showed he now has 7.7million listeners and is just 80,000 behind his Radio 2 rival Terry Wogan.
The breakfast show host started off the sofa chat by saying: "I know you don't want me to talk about it Fern, but it's not going to be the same without you when you go, it's going to be rubbish." Fern giggled and joked: "It will be much better." But that did not stop the DJ from continuing to praise her and take swipes at Schofield.
Talking about his interest in hosting the ITV programme, he said: "I quite fancy this gig cos I could finish my radio show and then taxibike it to here. I could do it." The interview ended with Fern inviting Moyles round to her house to watch This Morning once she quits the show in July.
Moyles accepted the invitation and then, referring to Schofield and the next segment of the show, added: "Go on grey-head, do the link." A show source said Schofield had seemed flustered after the segment..
They added: "He didn't know where to look and Moyles clearly liked Fern more than him.
"Phillip isn't used to guests mocking him and sees himself as head of the show so his confidence took a bit of a beating." Moyles has previously revealed to the Mirror he is due to sign a new contract for his Radio 1 show.
And he told This Morning viewers: "The listening figures have gone up, which is funny because I thought I was getting sacked two weeks ago. The bottom line is I am going to re-sign again in the next few weeks." And he joked: "I might sign up for 19 years , just to prove a point that I'm staying."
What you think about this?
