Phillip schofield

Have you read my post on the previous page Forsythia?
And I know what you mean

Did he? I wonder about their upbringing.

Forsythia

More to come out definitely. He has been king pin at itv for years.

Strange family, 2 brothers of similar type. We hear a lot about the mother….where is the father?

Brian Schofield died in 2008

Unless there’s a lot more to it than we know, I don’t see what the fuss is about.

There is!

I love this: Phillip Schofield is in reputational Siberia

Yes, I agree Sparklefizz, he used his mother like he used his wife.

Did you see my previous post, regarding Matthew McGreevy, the young man involved ?
Google him

I feel sorry for his poor Mum. He went rushing off to see her, and yet she must be already reeling concerning her other son. Poor woman.

Why is this unimportant, trivial story taking over the media?
A tawdry chat show and host given such prominence everywhere I look. I’m bemused and put off by so many people rubbing their hands with glee. It’s not an edifying sight.

Unless it comes to light that there has been some criminal activity, everyone should shut up.
TV hosts are two a penny.

Have we learned nothing from the Jimmy Saville scandal?

Cheeseplantmad, exactly my first thoughts. If everyone who'd had an affair (and lied about it) felt obliged to leave - how many staff would be left?

I suspect his brother's situation - and the fact that it was a gay affair - has had undue influence and that's not right. To be tarred by the same brush as a relative is so wrong.

The young man’s name is Matthew McGreevy.

It’s all out there. Has been for years.

I’ve known all about it since Schofield was forced to come out.

It’s why Eamon and Ruth fell out with him.

Holly and the ITV bosses pretending that that they were ‘disappointed’ by ‘deceitful’ Schofield is pathetic and despicable.

Heads will roll and This Morning will probably be replaced by something else, like when The News of The World was ‘replaced’ by The Sun on Sunday

I don’t particularly like Schofield or Holly for that matter , but I think it’s awful that the media ect is nitpicking his life for all to read . I doubt that he has done any worse in his past than anyone else , many have had affairs , many have lied to save their own skins , who is so righteous I ask ?
People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones comes to mind , bet the very ones who are harping on about it are no angels theirselves . Schofield is just human with past sins just like every other human on earth .

MPs cheat and lie yet get away with it. Boris Johnson became prime minister and is still an MP!

Spinnaker where did you get that information from none of the reports have mentioned anything underage ??? Do send a link !

Quite a few of the things I've read have inferred the same. Sorry, don't have the links though.

‘Implied’ not ‘inferred’

That's not what I was saying was a rumour, I read that but is the truth

I was talking about the rumours he has groomed an underage boy

Sorry I should have made that clear

I had to Google to see what was going on. I see that his lying about an affair is why Holly fell out with him

But I think the rumours are something we need to wait to hear about

They're not rumours. Do a spot more googling. Philip has owned up to having an affair whilst married. He's apologised. He wants to reflect.

These aren't rumours. They are statements given by him, by Holly, by the agents who have dumped him
And ITV as well.

It’s the tip of the iceberg there is more to come.

Not sure why he’s being given such prominence. Better, surely, to just let him fade into the background. There are far more serious issues on the news right now. For example, the poor little soul murdered by his evil, uncaring drug addicted parents; the atrocities taking place in Ukraine, the cost of living crisis, etc, etc …

Would you have let Rolf Harris or Harvey Weinstein fade into the background?

His agents have dumped him, saying that what he told them was untrue.
I'd guess it must be a fairly major lie, for them to do that.

I cannot understand why his wife stood by him when he came out as gay anyway. He had been living a lie for years. She must have noticed.

Maybe now she will leave him.It must be awful for their two daughters as well.

What about his poor Mum? One son a paedophile and now in prison and now this!!

I believe it’s taking so much prominence because there is more to come, because he was a liar and because he has been involved with a teenager.

I feel sorry for the families.
