Phillip schofield

I don’t follow celebrity gossip or watch TM, but if your version of events were true tickingbird, don’t you think he would be taking ITV to a tribunal claiming unfair or constructive dismissal?

He did receive 6 months pay and officially he resigned.

I'm not a fan of PS or HW, but I do worry about the way all this is going. PS looked dreadful during the recent interview.

Also, I don’t watch TM or follow celebrity gossip as you put it. It’s been headline news all week so hardly celebrity gossip.

Surely the issue here is that PS used a 20 year old colleague to establish his own sexuality. As he said it happened about half a dozen times in 6 months. There was no love involved, no commitment and he had been in contact with this boy since he was 15 years old. Of course he lied - he knew it was wrong and that is why he is so wretched now - because he got caught!

Yes Dragonfly, if Schofield could have done, he’d still be the perfect family man; along with his love nest in London where he entertained his young lover(s).

This was the state of play for a long while.

I see it as analogous to the story of the emperor’s new clothes. Nobody would speak out for fear of the crowd turning on them. Then someone did, and they could all see what had been staring then in the face all along.

He did look in a poor state during his interview and whatever he did or did not do I think he should just be left alone. Just thinking about Jesus and the casting of stones if you are without sin. He has been punished which is more than half the philanderers have been.

Thank you, Lovetopaint037. I agree, just leave him alone.

I don’t like him, as I’ve said numerous times on this thread, and I don’t really care about it him, beyond not wishing any other human harm, but I do think that if he’s committed a crime, then the police should investigate and if appropriate, charge him ( Lord knows if he’d get a fair trial though, maybe it’d have to be a judges not jury trial, but I think that’s not possible for a criminal trial. GSM would know more.) Otherwise I think he’s been sacked, he’s fallen from grace, and so he should be left alone. It was stupid of him to agree to an interview in my opinion, he’s just thrown fat on the fire.

He's not been accused of any crime. Caroline Flacks mother has said that he should be left alone. Enough already.

Investigation of actions -yes!
Investigation of those in the know and actions taken/not taken-yes!
Hounding by the media and spreading of gossip-no!
Appearance by PS on the media answering questions that won’t be believed anyway? -No
Carolyn Flack’s mother has it right.
I may not like him, but I’d hate him to be driven to suicide.
Think of the flurry of backtracking and cries of “I never said/believed . . .” that would flood the media and social media if he did.

Leave the poor b*gger alone.

Galaxy to talk of Rylan having an affair shows you are missing the point.........Rylan's affair was not at work, nothing to do with ITV.

also the schofield affair was known by others working for ITV but when they spoke to bosses with concern for the much younger man
they were 'shut up' by having their contracts changed with clauses they could not accept as journalists so forced out of Itv

. Eamonn Holmes, dan wootton,, 3 yrs ago now carole mcgiven.. And that is why ITV are in big trouble now.

That was the point I was making Lemsip

Phillip Schofield would do better to keep his head down and let it go by instead of keep popping up with more interview.. he is not divorced so should think of his wife who may be distraught.

lemsip

Yes!

Leave the poor b*gger alone.

Oh dear. An unfortunate turn of phrase

🤣🤣🤣

I’m glad that you said that D-Dog, I thought of saying it myself, but I would have been well and truly drummed out of The Brownies!

If he was a serial philanderer wouldn’t more have chipped in by now? It seems it’s just this one person. Normally they all pile in/on and more revelations come to light but they haven’t. In his industry being gay is widespread I think. Look at Stephen Fry and his very young husband.

Indeed. Have you ever seen anybody looking so bored and uninterested as Stephen Fry’s very young husband? Every photo I have ever seen of them, he looks like he would rather be anywhere else.

It could only be a very stupid person who could be bored with
Stephen Fry

My husband is 26 years my senior, but we have never been mistaken for anything other than partners.
Stephen Fry and his husband look ridiculously mismatched

Taken, not mistaken. I’m sure that you know what I mean!
