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 .

If people read the thread they would see that it is not about a workplace ‘affair’, or the inevitable lies that surround them.

I’ve just watched Dame Carolyn McCall’s questions at Westminster. I thought she was impressive under pressure and was able to provide answers.

She admitted there hadn’t been a proper investigation. Just as Eamonn Holmes said, it amounted to asking PS and the young man. Both replied No and that was the extent of it. Good job the police don’t take that approach.

Beyond questioning the employees, what further investigation do you expect an employer to undertake if both deny the allegations? Put them on the rack until they confess?

This is from the BBC News transcript of the questioning tickingbird

'Person X' asked about rumours of relationship 12 times

Dame Carolyn has just been asked about an earlier mention of "person X" being asked about the affair 12 times, and whether that amounts to an interrogation.

The questions were asked over a long period of time, she says, "not in one go".

There were a couple of formal meetings had with HR, but there were multiple informal meetings.

"The motive was to help person X" as the rumours were rife with inappropriateness at the time, which is why he was asked.

He had a good relationship with someone in production he trusts, Dame Carolyn says, and this person was the one saying "if we can help, please say anything".
