Phillip schofield

That’s true! (And especially so coming from you Blossoming!)

It looks exactly like she colours and cuts it herself (like what I do!)
The colour is too harsh and the cut is too blunt.
It’s odd because she is blessed with lovely thick hair

I really wish Holly Willoughby would do something with her hair! It always looks such a mess.

A messy bob is on trend at the moment.

Fashions come and go in all things.

I think she always looks good on This Morning, most of her clothes are now pre-loved rentals.

I think it's very likely that there is more to it, which hasn't been made public. I get the feeling that he had got above himself and irritated a lot of people with his ego-ism. The so-called affair was an excuse to get rid of him.

He is definitely not anonymous. There are videos of him online, also several pictures, although they are now blocking his face out.

Willoughby is presenting herself as squeaky clean on This Morning , I bet she has told many a lie herself . If she were really best friends with Schofield she would be there for him , hook line and sinker, because that what best friends do for one another .
There are many who have had affairs in their lifetime and have covered their actions with lies and deceit . Politicians lie through their teeth , even the police have been known to lie to cover up their actions . The way the media / public goes on about Scofield one would think they theirselves are squeaky clean . As Jesus said “ he who is without sin cast the first stone “ ..”. !

His name has been mentioned several times on the thread, probably mostly by me, but I didn’t want to say it again, in case it set someone off on one 🫢

Oh, do we know who he is Fanny? Or do you mean he’s not anonymous to those in the know. I’m a bit confused.

It has been common knowledge who he is. He is not anonymous. His tweets to (and from) Schofield are in the public domain, too.

There are a number of levels to this - what is in the papers and on BBC/ITV, what is being said on channels like Talk TV and GB News who don't seem to have the same constraints and have interviews with people like Eamonn Holmes and others, YouTube and podcasts, online forums such as Tattle (a media gossip site), and insider knowledge from the media industries.

Some of these sources feed others (eg Eamonn's interview on GBTV being reported in the tabloids), but they are largely separate. A lot of the manipulation happens at the mainstream media level, as the other places exist to resist that, and a lot of the support for Schofield appears in those outlets too. The other sources are showing a lot more cynicism.

The name and details about the runner are being redacted from MSM reports, but to many people it is absolutely clear who he is, as are details about his employment status and so on. Not everything is idle speculation at all.

Understandable Fanny.

Doodledog that is the absolute crux of the issue with me (as, of course, you know, I’ve said it several times)
I, an absolute nobody with access to the internet, knew who the younger man was two years ago.
For Holly and others to not know what was <literally happening under their noses> is absolutely pathetically laughable, and they are taking us for fools

Agreed, Fanny, and with all due respect to all concerned, it is the people telling others to shut up because we don't know what we are talking about who don't know what they are talking about.

👏 👏 👏

Doubt v much you give due respect Doodledog on this matter.You and FannyCornforth have probably made up to 50% of posts on this thread acting as hanging judges.Anyone would think you both know PS personally and all that goes on in his life.
So he lied to tv bosses about a fling with a younger colleague who just happens to be male in this case.He did it to save his career as so many other men do when accused of having an affair as Anniebach says. There’s also jostling for top position between him and HW. The way social media and the papers are going on you’d think he was the most important person in the world and to some, the most evil as well! Ridiculous stuff.

I've said as much as I want to, and if people are happy to believe what the mainstream media have to say, that's up to them. It doesn't affect me one way or the other.

And I do have respect for all posters. I see this as a place where people can share their opinions and knowledge, which is all I am doing. You may, or course take that or leave it - it's all the same to me

That just about sums it all up for me too, Oreo. All this "there's far more to this than meets the eye" stuff. Maybe, maybe not. We just don't know, and in practical terms, very little in the way of "new", verifiable information has come out since the bare bones of this story first broke. Maybe it never will, if that's how both of those who were in that relationship want it to be, but will the mob leave them in peace? Not whilst there's still plenty of ongoing opportunity for prurient speculation, and whilst that's still selling newspapers. Yes, the tumbril trundles on, perhaps even picking up the odd additional passenger on the way, and the baying for blood doesn't appear to be diminishing .. yet. Most unpleasant...

Let’s just see, then shall we?

It will all be out in the wash soon.

And that’s my final word on this thread, until something changes (which it will)

Wrong thread lol

Nanadana your post is my post I couldn’t have said it better this thread is one of the most uncomfortable I ve read

I think we have to explore really difficult topics. When is having a relationship with a young person who you knew at 15 ok? We should as a society be able to talk about those issues.
Is what woody allan did ok? Should we not talk about that.
I am not comparing the two I just think if we dont talk about moral issues relating to power and young people we let them down.

I agree with you.

I really, really agree with this. When does an especially good relationship with a teacher or social worker or therapist- needful for the 15 year old - cross the boundary?

Its not enough to say, "touch" because although that is a no go boundary, emotional boundaries can be just as significant.

Having just come from a safeguarding meeting, in an organisation I volunteer for, which is national but nowhere near as high profile as ITV, it strikes me that ITV has been[not necessarily], derelict in it's safeguarding duties of the young man.

If all they did[and who am I to know for sure], was ask the young man and PS if anything went on, that does not seem robust enough a procedure. In my opinion.

I cant remember though, whether by the time the young man worked for ITV, what age he was by that time.

Sorry if this aspect has been discussed already earlier in the thread.

NanaDana and Oreo I agree with the both of you all this "there is more to this than meets the eye" and there is more to come out in the wash is just speculating on what may come next. There could be more but maybe we will not know as the other person in this may just want to keep quiet and keep his head down and carry on with his life. He is right as judging on all the
comments he will be crucified.
In regard of P.S. and H.W. they are just two people that think they are of greater importance than any one else. As for Holly and her statement on the show this morning I watched one minute of it and she sounded like she had swallowed ten spoons of sugar and was trying to come across as sweetness and light I have completely gone off her. For the last two years it has been Philip and Holly this and that she claimed he was her best friend and she knew everything about him and I don't believe a word from the pair of them.

I feel so sorry for P.Ss wife in all of this firstly when he came out as gay that was such a humiliation for her I can't imagine being married to someone for so long and having children with them and they suddenly want to announce they are gay.
It's disgraceful, and now she is getting another bucket of disgrace with what is happening now. It must be terrible living in her community and having all this going on if it was me I would leave the U.K. for a year until it all dies down . That poor woman. I shouldn't say poor I hope she has had a good lawyer and takes P.S for every penny she can.

Holly's sickly, saccharin, self important pronouncement was just daft. He did wrong, disappointed people and has been sacked. His career is in ruins. She can just get lost.

Maybe Holly Willoughby should try a messy bob instead of the current mess.
