Holly and Phil- do we care?

It wasn’t his sexuality that was the problem.
It was whether he was abusing his position of power. He is a very powerful man in the industry.
It was also the matter of McGreevy’s age.

Just Google Matthew McGreevy

I have just googled

it wont let me read the full article, it keeps opening another tab
by underage, you mean under 16?

Not according to the article. If he was employed on the show he'd have to have been over school leaving age at least.

He is significantly younger that PS, which is maybe a bit sleazy, but not illegal or anyone else's business.

I've just googled, too. If (and it's a big if) the insinuation is true, then it's a different matter; but I can't help thinking that the police would have been all over it if so.

I dislike the witch hunt and on line abuse of Willoughby and Schofield. However I do think it's a symptom of the public getting tired of this entitled pair. The programme they present is well past its sell by date now, time for a change.

And this is what happens when you have a week off work, with nothing to do - I ended up getting sucked into the increasingly hysterical posts on Twitter, Facebook, Mumsnet and TikTok. I feel I know far more than is healthy about this non-story

HurdyGurdy ?

But thank you anyway.
I know now what the non-story was about - a story which I had no idea about until I saw this thread on Gransnet! ?

I agree with other posters that the car advert is very annoying but I quite liked Philip when he was a children's entertainer. Not watched him since really.

Now I do disapprove of that being made public. How sexuality has nothing to do with anyone else, and nor does his private life. I see that as very different from comments about his behaviour towards the public, who are, ultimately, his viewers and bread and butter.

They say he had groomed the boy from a young age. Dan Wooton was going to out him but now I think there is an injunction against talking about it.
Also if the papers criticise Phil they will not be given access to clients of his agency like Ant and Dec.

JaneJudge mentions RL. Who is RL?

Totally agree with this.

Don't watch TV during the day, and really don't care.

They're just jumped up children's TV presenters who got lucky. Hardly reporters.
And all this 'poor ole me I'm gay' and coming out on TV. No one cares. You're not doing anything brave or unusual.
And it's cringe for his family.
Bring back Richard znd Judy I say. Or Ruth and Eammon or Alison and Rylan
Anything but this inspid smug pair.

David Beckham queued for hours. Fair play to him

Well said snowberryZ.

And I’m not going to get all pearl clutchy about age difference, having got together with DH when I was early 20s and he was 26 years my senior
Schofield is a sleaze bag and he’s been on borrowed time for a while.
He should have known when to go

Kircubbin you are right.
It’s all about the agency, and everyone protecting each other, or not, in the case of RL
It stinks, it really does

I have no clue what those initials mean Fanny..?

JaneJudge said "The only bit of gossip I know is that RL had raised concerns that he was infatuated with a very young male runner on the program"

and now FannyCornforth has said "It’s all about the agency, and everyone protecting each other, or not, in the case of RL"

Who or what is RL? Twice it's been mentioned, and I need to know

Ruth Langford (Mrs Eamon Holmes).

It sounds dodgy, I agree; but the police and SS are not going to care about getting access to titbits from others represented by an agency. If he had groomed or assaulted a minor they would have investigated. I also think that if MM had been a girl there would have been no story.

Do we care - no!

Well, you say that LizzieDrip, but you care enough to come onto the thread, read it, and comment on it

HurdyGurdy don’t forget that no one knowswho Phil and Holly are are; let alone cares who Phil and Holly are; indeed never watches daytime tv, and actually, never watches itv altogether.
And they don’t read The Daily Mail either.

Keep up everyone, this is old news.

Thank you for filling me in on Eammon and Ruth .....

Flippin heck what a fickle world they all live in !!!!!
