Phillip schofield

Yes tickingbird an outside agency should look into it and that agency should be the police.

I agree.

There is a lot of speculation and it needs to be investigated properly.
ITV bosses need to look at the alleged culture of bullying too.

I haven’t got time today to read the whole thread now as it appears to be 16 pages long, and I’ve got two small boys coming after lunch till Thursday evening. I’m just going straight to the end of a few threads before getting on with stuff.

What I have learned from all this is that whilst I always disliked Schofield, and I had no idea why and certainty rarely saw him, now I know my gut feeling of distaste was fully justified.

I hope that you had a lovely break maddy

There is lots of information on the thread which will answer your questions on why it’s an ongoing news story of great interest

Oh thank you Fanny, we had a lovely break and it was nice to be away from everything for a day or two. Met some lovely people, visited Amsterdam and Bruges, and although we’ve been to both before, it was a nice change. I’ll have to read the thread later, but we both just felt when we returned and put on the news, oh God, it’s still all over the news!

Maddy in a nutshell - allegations of underage grooming; bullying; ITV top brass being complicit and all other sorts of nastiness

I’m pleased it was so nice Maddy

I obviously have no taste as I used to like him.
But I've very rarely watched GM.

His wife just looks so very happy in the photos circulating online of their holiday together in South Africa. She obviously thought the world of him and my heart goes out to her in all of this ......

I’ve always liked him too. I have a lot of respect for people that work on tv as hosts or link people because a lot of people think it’s easy but it isn’t and not many people could do it.

Thanks for the precise Fanny.

I couldn’t remember how to spell precis - hence the use of ‘in a nutshell’ 🤭

Fanny

These so called “National Treasures” often hide very dark secrets because they are so famous that they become untouchable. Thinking the likes of Savile, Rolf Harris, Stuart Hall and now Philip Schofield.

I am pretty sure that in the next few years another one will be unveiled because his behaviour is very inappropriate and he has got far too big for his boots!

I am just watching and waiting really. He is already being seen quite a bit less than he was on TV so I am wondering if he is being investigated as we speak.

A couple of years before the Savile story broke on TV I joined a conversation on a forum and said I would not trust him an inch, he was very creepy etc and outlined my reasons. I was called every name under the sun, told I should be ashamed of saying things about the man who made millions for charity and was a friend of the royals. When all was revealed I made a point of finding that old thread and went back on saying “I told you so”.😉

I know it’s not scientific but I can always tell a wrong ‘un straight away whether it’s in real life or on TV.

Yes, she and their children are the ones who need our thoughts

So far, there is no complaint for the police to investigate. There are concerns and questions for itv executives and presenters. That’s where a current investigation should be directed but who will investigate?
As Fanny and others have pointed out, the internet, you tube has many images and videos of Schofield enjoying the company of young men

Headline from the Express
"Phillip Schofield axed by Prince’s Trust as role is 'no longer appropriate' after affair"
A case kettle and pot here I think.

The article is not really worth reading but here it is www.express.co.uk/celebrity-news/1775778/Phillip-Schofield-princes-trust-Ambassador-axed-affair-this-morning

This article really is worth reading, it outlines the terms of reference for the inquiry, and clarifies details about ITV’s original investigation.

It’s good that an experienced Barrister is to lead an inquiry.

I think TM has run out of steam and be scrapped.

I think TM has run out of steam and be scrapped.

It will be.
And replaced with something extremely similar.

I suppose there will be yet another book! at the end of all this. Wonder what the title will be

Any Teen Will Do?
