Phillip Schofield has come out as gay

[catinb0oots]

Blimey. Married for 27 years.

This seems very manipulative. There's something rumbling on behind the scenes and he's chosen to break this 'news' now.

Weird that it’s coinciding with the “spat” with Ruth (I don’t know anything about it, just caught a sidebar but I’m aware of it)

Is TM on earlier than normal?

I do really feel for his wife and children, it must feel as if what they had was all based on lies.

I dont care whether he's gay or not - and there have been rumours for years of course - but I dont think it's fair on them.

I think that someone has threatened to out him or is trying to blackmail him.

Blimey.

I k ow he's said how amazing his wife and daughters have been and how they've been great about it but it must be utterly heartbreaking - I always feel like when men do this and talk about their amazing wife it's a bit gaslighty to make out it's all hunky dory and everyone's happy. She must be gutted - 27 years of marriage over and she's supposed to smile along and pretend to be ok with it

Wasn’t it reported that a celebrity was being threatened with blackmaiL recently?

Surprise though!

Poor Holly’s bottom lip is quivering on TM!

Was always suspicious of him and Gordon....

And yes I agree there'll be a much celebrated relationship soon with a boyfriend no doubt waiting in the wings

HW has just gone way up in my opinion, in the way she handled that interview with him.

Ok, found it. It says “this might come as a surprise.” Yeah sure. Totally unsurprised here.

i feel very sorry for his wife. And to an extent for him, because he's obviously hidden this for a long time. But mostly for his wife. What a shock that must be.

His wife and daughters are being very supportive?
Do they have a choice?
It’s all very well for PS being all brave and everything but it’s his family I feel sorry for

@Bogoffrain wins the internet

Poor wife. What a betrayal.

His poor wife and kids.

Omg i just caught the tail end of that! I knew it!!!🤗 so happy hes done this for himself

I dislike him. Awful man. Regardless of sexuality.

I feel very sorry for his wife and daughters.

His poor wife and daughters

Nothing like a bit of national humiliation, while he gets to play the "i'm so brave" card.

Pretty shitty behaviour, if you ask me, and not what I would class as brave.

Yeah, wife and daughters "supportive and happy" they say. Yes of course they are. Its going to be way more complicated than that!
