How will the competition segments work?

Like they always have. A bumper reads “This competition is not open to Rep. of Ireland viewers” each time the ITV feed shows the competition details.


The former UTV Ireland used to reduce the picture down to about 25% with a massive disclaimer in place stating that the competition wasn’t open to viewers.

Interesting to note Philip himself has tweeted this promo:

Winning Streak, despite the Coronavirus crisis, are still giving away Cruises as part of the show.

However, they have said that if the winner of the Cruise is concerned about travel at the moment and is worried about going on the cruise, the National Lottery are happy to pay out the cash equivalent.

That has been the way with Winning Streak since it started. The original presenter Mike Murphy said that if anyone won a car and could not drive or did not want it, the cash equivalent is provided, same with any holiday. The cash alternative is always there, offered by the National Lottery.

Does anyone have a cap of the slide for VM1 viewers saying the This Morning competition is not available and is there anything similar for promoting Loose Women?

I don’t like to speculate.

Don't then. I think the mods have already asked we don't as part of the usual policy of respecting the private life of journalists.

RTÉ has confirmed that Ryan Tubridy won’t be presenting tonight’s Late Late Show as he is self isolating after developing a persistent cough. Miriam O’Callaghan is stepping in, a very trustworthy stand-in, i’m sure she will do very well tonight.
