In her divorce petition, my ex-husband had the audacity to mention that I used to watch EastEnders. It’s been years since I’ve seen it, and I’m happily remarried now. This revelation came to light when I called into Jeremy Vine’s Channel 5 show, and both the host and the journalists were taken aback by my ex’s judgmental attitude.
Jeremy couldn’t help but quip, “What is he watching that’s so much better?” It seemed that everyone felt sorry for me, including Ava-Santina and Mike Parry, who were equally appalled by my ex’s behavior.
I shared how my ex-husband would get irrationally angry about the BBC soap and even went as far as slamming his tea against the wall, frustrated with our viewing habits. However, the ironic part was that he would sit right next to me every time we watched it. Sally from Staffordshire shared her story about her ex-husbands divorce petition on Jeremy Vine’s Channel 5 show. Jeremy Vine was clearly shocked by former partner’s judgemental attitude, he questioned “What’s he watching that’s so much better?” Ava-Santina and Mike Parry also couldn’t believe that Sally had to go through this ordeal.
Despite his irritation, I found the situation quite amusing. However, Jeremy and the others weren’t so pleased with my ex’s actions. Ava told me that my ex-husband sounds like a bad person, and Mike expressed his disappointment that I haven’t watched EastEnders since. He stated, “Sorry I think that’s terrible. I mean what’s your husband saying? That you’re a lesser person because you watched EastEnders?” Mike went on to say that by not watching the show, I had given in to his bullying tactics. Sally reassured everyone that she found the situation “funny” but Jeremy Vine was not pleased by the story. Ava stated that her ex-husband sounds like a bad person. Mike also stated his disappointment that she doesn’t watch EastEnders. “Sorry I think that’s terrible.
I mean what’s your husband saying? That you’re a lesser person because you watched EastEnders?” Mike expressed his disappointment that she didn’t have the audacity to watch the show since then which he called “terrible”.
This clip was later reposted on the Jeremy Vine on 5 Twitter account, garnering over 3,000 views. The comment section was filled with amusement and support for Sally. Some agreed with her ex-husband, stating that having to sit through EastEnders would be a deal breaker. Others shared their own experiences and mentioned that including TV preferences in a divorce seemed unnecessary unless someone had an obsession with it.
Meanwhile, concerns have been raised over the declining viewership of EastEnders in recent years. The show’s ratings, which used to reach up to 30 million for special episodes like Christmas Day, have dropped significantly to as low as 1.3 million. Viewers have criticized the show for its “woke” storylines and the lack of the traditional East End family charm it once had. There were also complaints about the departure of beloved characters like Mick Carter, played by Danny Dyer. Some controversial plotlines have included references to Brexit and a focus on climate change and veganism. Despite these criticisms, BBC executives have vowed to save the show “at all costs” and have invested £87 million in a new set.
