Am I being a bit slow but why is Phillip Schofield being thrown under the bus now? He came out about his sexuality , now revelations about an affair with consensual teenager that he covered up to protect identity , Maybe I'm being naïve but not sure why there has been such a big disconnect from TV at this point .

Well …..

Forsythia Mon 29-May-23 19:51:03

Yes I’m sure he does.

Doodledog Mon 29-May-23 21:58:37

This is dreadful grin.

I've never watched GB News before, and won't again - it is hilariously bad, but I'm an hour in now, so will wait to hear what Eamonn has to say.

tickingbird Mon 29-May-23 22:44:15

I wanted to see the Eamonn Holmes interview but can’t stand Dan Wootton.

Doodledog Mon 29-May-23 22:45:07

It's on now. Wooton is a toad, though.

Spinnaker Mon 29-May-23 22:49:53

I waited and waited but finally succumbed to going up the wooden hill grin. Will catch up tomorrow 😴

Doodledog I agree with you. absolute rubbish channel.

all Eamonn holmes had to say has been all over the news for last 2 days. nothing new.

welbeck Mon 29-May-23 23:06:51

who is the one Loose Woman who likes PS ?
as stated by EH.
any ideas who could be the one ?
i don't really know who most of them are.
maybe the rather off the wall woman with wild hair
or carole mcgiven ?

Doodledog Mon 29-May-23 23:34:07

Who knows? There was a strong hint that PS had got the boy on drugs, but that was the only new accusation to come out of two hours of dreadful drivel. There is another episode of it tomorrow, but I won’t be watching.

lemsip Mon 29-May-23 23:36:00

it certainly wouldn't be carole mcgiffen who has just left loose women after they tried to silence her

Louella12 Mon 29-May-23 23:41:14

Denise Welch, probably.

Doodledog Mon 29-May-23 23:42:13

The only one who might be in with a chance of presenting on TM is Stacey Solomon, but I have no idea. There must be something behind his singling out of one Loose Woman though.

I hope MM is ok, and has been given a golden handshake. It sounds as though he will need therapy.

well someone on MN reckons it's christine lampard as there are 100s of pics of them out together . apparently.

lemsip Tue 30-May-23 09:43:15

well that would make sense as she was on Dancing on Ice with him before Holly I think

GrannyGravy13 Tue 30-May-23 09:47:32

Christine Lampard is a regular stand-in for Loraine Kelly’s slot 9-10am during the holidays.

She used to present The One Show with Adrian Chiles.

I'm not sure what the implication was. Eamonn did make a point of saying that only one LW was not 'anti-PS', but I didn't pick up on why that is important. Unless it was to do with the fact that 'the boy needed a lot of money in his life', which was a clear suggestion that he was on drugs (something else that both HW and PS have long been accused of being involved with). Or maybe he knew that if he had said that none of the LW could stand PS one of them would come forward to say that it wasn't true. Everything he said would have been very carefully scrutinised.

FannyCornforth Tue 30-May-23 10:31:29

Oh, I didn’t know about the drugs allegations

Kate1949 Tue 30-May-23 11:43:02

Nick Ferrari, who often does the news review on This Morning and in my view talks a lot of sense, has always appeared via Zoom (or whatever). He has been going in to the studio live since Schofield has gone. Maybe coincidence or maybe not a Schofield fan.

FannyCornforth Tue 30-May-23 11:48:29

Ooh, that’s interesting Kate
I like Nick too and I listen him on LBC most mornings.
I don’t think that he’s mentioned the Schofield business 🤔
Nick’s a veteran news hound with a keen nose for a story, I’m sure that he knows exactly what’s what

Nanamary19 Tue 30-May-23 11:53:56

* Katiew1949* Good point Nick is on LBC 7am till 10 in the to go to the studio would be easy as he's already in London.
Maybe he just didn't like PS and HW

GB News is the news channel to watch ko holding back on things that need to be said and heard.
ITV and BBC are just comic stories now

Kate1949 Tue 30-May-23 11:54:15

Yes he's good isn't he Fanny ? I suppose he wouldn't mention the Schofield business for fear of losing his spot on the show. It was very noticeable that he suddenly appeared live after Schofield had left.

Nanamary19 Tue 30-May-23 11:54:55

* in the mornings *

Kate1949 Tue 30-May-23 11:55:09

Indeed Nanamary

Spinnaker Tue 30-May-23 12:08:11

I think this week will be when it all unravels even further. HW is on a half term break (conveniently) so what will happen regarding her return next week is anyone's guess. ITV need to move quickly now methinks ?
