On consecutive days this week, I turned the TV on ‘at the top of the hour’ and on Sky, BBC1, ITV and GB news the leading story has been Phillip Schofield, and newspapers are almost as bad. Personally, I have never been a fan, but I feel concerned about the effect that the constant media coverage is having on him, just how much is one person supposed to take? It seems that every day journalists are digging out titbits to add to this sorry tale. There is going to be an investigation. Can’t we just leave it at that? Schofield’s life is no doubt in shatters, but on a day when you consider what else is going on in this country, and in the world, it is really only of significance to those directly involved. Do they think we have descended to a point where we are salivating for the next distasteful pronouncement? We have a Schofield embargo here, if the name is mentioned the channel is changed, but even so, it is still difficult to avoid.
