Nobody resigns from a job like that with no good reason

Exactly. As I said on Page 2 of this thread - if I was innocent and had nothing to answer I would be kicking and screaming my innocence for all to hear.

I think they should end This Morning now. It has had a good run and has got tired now. I used to watch it when I had a big pile of ironing to do.

It got very uncomfortable when Fern Britton had the gastric band which she lied about and then had to come on and apologise with Schofield standing beside her as red as a beetroot and saying very little. She and PS then had a falling out because he was paid a lot more than her and she left.

Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary are tipped to take over but Alison is just so loud with all that false laughter and Dermot just looks like he is not that interested in being there.

Time to just let it go I think!

I’ve just heard that McGreevy was, as well as being a runner on TM, he was Schofield’s personal assistant on Dancing On Ice and many other shows

Primrose it will go

I have to hold my hand up and say that although I’m commenting on this thread, I don’t watch the show. I did when it was Richard and Judy but that’s years ago. You can’t escape Holly n Phil though. Adverts, other programmes, hair commercials, M&S, they had it all stitched up. Nobody else seemed to be considered.

Same here Forsythia
The whole thing at ITV is very odd and ‘nepotistic’ (can’t think of a better word)
They all have the same management company YMU Entertainment (Ant and Dec, Ruth, Amanda Holden, Cowell etc)

Slight diversion but I can’t understand what’s so great about Holly Willoughby. I have no axe to grind, apart from being more than a little sickened by her hypocrisy. However, before all this exploded I often used to wonder why she was everywhere on our screens. There are so many presenters and I just can’t see why HW is in such demand. It’s nice to see different people presenting shows instead of the same faces all the time.

I'm surprised Fern Britton hasn't told what she knows and what caused her to suddenly leave the show and Holly take over

I was wondering about that too lemsip

She left because PS was getting paid loads more than she was. They were very frosty to each other at the end. Also there was some big falling out because, I think this is correct, she was not invited to a celebration of This Morning event he was hosting.

That’s right! Thanks Primrose

Schofield’s super injunction cost him £30 000 a month

Forsythia what do you mean ‘even me’ ? am I sub human or unbelievably dim in your view ?

I hate a witch hunts let’s wait for it all to come out and not in the gutter press either and then we can comment with some validity … all this rubbing hands together ‘oh I bet his mum’ ‘where’s his dad ? ‘ ‘two brothers the same?’
It’s all pretty mucky and unnecessary

I agree, this sort of speculation and gossip makes me feel uncomfortable.

Primrose53 well of course that was what we were told!

now we know that what we were told by 'This Morning ' team was not the complete truth because phillip schofield has apologised for his lies.
Ruth Langsford first reported to her bosses about Phillips inappropriate behavior with the young man back in 2019

Phillip Schofield 'came out' because McGreevy had gone to the press...

Not true lemsip

The press hassled McGreevy.
He didn’t want to be in the papers at all.

This thread is not helping this young man protect his own life and career at all. If he wants to maintain his anonymity he should be enabled by us to do so. Even if it’s already in the public domain that doesn’t mean Gransnet should hound him by association.

Forsythia:

'Nobody resigns from a job like that with no good reason.'

It's reason enough when you've fallen out with work colleagues because you lied to them, surely? Imagine the awkward atmosphere!

Definitely thrown under the bus more will come out lies and truth but there’ll be a witch-hunt won’t there? Glad I don’t have high profile job or any social media either love gransnet gives me a smile each day and a connection. Just switch off again with the negative posts. Yes TM needs binning new blood and new format been on too long.

God forbid that some of those who are commenting here are ever chosen for jury service. Evidence of criminality? Hard facts rather than rumour, inference and speculation? Not much sign of any of that yet. I'll wait until we actually know rather than merely suspect what the reasons are behind the "resignation"... if we ever do... What I do know is that a dedicated newshound will often not let the facts get in the way of a good story.

If PS has "resigned" then so should HW. Despite her protestations of ignorance and innocence to what PS was up to, imo there's no way she didn't know. Their whole shtick was being best buddies both on and off air, they holidayed together as family and spent time at each other's homes. Do you really think she'd have been completely unaware of what was going on? Eamon and Ruth Holmes were apparently aware. Rylan was apparently aware. But not her?

NanaDana so why the £30 000 a month super injunction?

And trust me, I’d behave differently in a court of law than I do on a social media / chat forum

I only watch This Morning when PS and HW are not presenting, I would love to see Dermot O’Leary, Alison Hammond and Josie Gibson become the regular presenters as opposed to just Fridays and holiday/fill-in cover.

I admit to having a soft spot Dermot 😍

Schofield's verbatim statement, made on Friday : ""Neither I nor anyone else, to my knowledge, has ever issued an injunction, super or otherwise, about my relationship with this colleague, he was never moved on or sacked by or because of me." Is it true? I don't know.. Who does? Is he naive enough to make a statement like that if it can be shown to be a lie? Again, I don't know. Who does?
