Just seen on Instagram that PS is stepping down with immediate effect from This morning!
I mean, I'm not that bothered but there's been lots of speculation recently re his brother's conviction and the rumoured spat with Holly but I thought it would probably all blow over.
I'm sure he's got a bob or two is loaded but I'm still a bit surprised if I'm honest.

i hope she doesn’t expect us to swallow this shit

Well that was the fakest post I ever saw!

PurplePansy05 · 27/05/2023 19:38

An older man in his 50s at the time, in a position of power and a teenager = everything wrong about it.

He should ho, HW should go and heads amongst ITV managers should roll if there's been a cover up.

PurplePansy05 · 27/05/2023 19:39

*go

PurplePansy05 · 27/05/2023 19:40

I hope the young man affected is getting help and I feel sorry for him and his family, more tough times are coming.

Lemieux3 · 27/05/2023 19:42

Yeah, damage limitation from HW. Too late, I'd say.

bladebladebla1 · 27/05/2023 19:42

I know I'm the only one that thinks this but if my best mate told me it was lies I would believe them, then fall out with them when I heard the truth, and no one knows for sure she knew, so I think it's a bit off the shit she's getting online. Obviously if she knew that's a different story. But he would need to come out and say so for me to think again on my stance

She’s doing her best to try and cling on to her career. She has lost whatever respect anyone had left for her. I doubt she will be back on the show. If ITV want to draw a line under this she has to go!

Oh yes indeed, not only swallow it but with a sympathetic look on your face and a " There, there, poor Holly. "

There is a well known sitcom actor who is knowing for horsing and fooling around that is the next target.

That's hardly a secret. There have been loads of stories about him for years. Harassment of women, not paedophilia.

If Dan Wootten knew all this stuff, how could Holly and the rest of then not know? He knew loads more than he was allowed to say. Does he strike you as the sort of person who doesn't gossip? If he knew, they all knew.

bladebladebla1 · 27/05/2023 19:52

@Haywirecity yes I totally get that they have been told, I just mean if he denied it then how could she not believe her best mate? But I know I'm in the minority so understand I'm probably wrong, I just really see her side at the min but know I could be proved wrong very soon

bladebladebla1 · 27/05/2023 19:53

@Haywirecity also Dan Wooten has been proven to be full of lies the last few days. I defo don't believe all he says

Haywirecity · 27/05/2023 20:03

@bladebladebla1 I have great friends but I know sometimes they lie about their children to make them sound better. I go along with it because I don't want to hurt their feelings but I can see what's what. According to Dan Wootton the runner was being taken back and forth in limos. Surely if nothing else came out, that would ring bells. And Dan Wootton got sacked let go of because of limiting what he could say. Is it likely he kept that to himself? He was the correspondent for gossip. Nothing he likes more.

Despite the image she cultivates, Holly Willoughby isn't an airhead. She hasn't succeeded in the,way she has because she's just lucky. She knows what's what, who's who and where it's all buried.

bladebladebla1 · 27/05/2023 20:06

@Haywirecity ok, I respect your opinion. I just also have mine until I see facts that she was complicit, which like I say, I know is a possibility (have to say that incase evidence comes out and everyone is like, oooh where are all the HB apologists now 😂😂)

Haywirecity · 27/05/2023 20:07

Don Wootton is despicable. And yeah, he aggrandizes himself and lies. But what he says is pretty much in line with what they've all said about crossing PS, the actions of the TM management, and the ITV heads. Also he was printing blind items about PS. Soooo...

You're a good friend to have! Your friends,are lucky.

Personally I think its all been a disgustingly handled witch-hunt. This country is so vicious.
I don't think she needs to go, even if she knew, but if everyone is going to pile in on her, they need to treat Alison, Rylan, Eamonn and Ruth just the same.

bladebladebla1 · 27/05/2023 20:15

@Haywirecity I agree, and I'm very worried for her mental health now. And massively worried about the lad. Can't even imagine what this is doing to him

Ooh I didn't know this. But then I just had to Google blind items so I'm pretty out of touch 🤣

MaudGone · 27/05/2023 20:40

What's this "golden sausage" stuff???

FakeAndFab · 27/05/2023 21:03

The only people I feel sorry for is MM and his family. He is the victim. He probably wasn't stupid through and might even have video evidence of all sorts of shenanigans featuring PS. I hope there isn't a DV / psychological abuse / coercive element. I hope the young man has the necessary support to heal from being used as an old man's toy boy.

I didn’t say it was a secret. I was responding to comments about who the internet trolls are going after next. And they don’t believe his crimes are against grown women.

I’m not going to comment either way but we live in a culture of mob mentality.

JenniferBooth · 27/05/2023 21:12

This guy worked at Loose Women and knew MM video

Oh, sorry. No offence meant. It was just that clues were given as if the name was a secret.

Mob mentality indeed. Let's hope the people gloating don't find it turned on them!

Its Christo from Talk TV who used to work at Loose Women

Tweet by Eamonn Holmes

Schofield has finally been caught out ... But he's not the only guilty party. 4 high members of Itv management knew what sort of man he was ...and NEVER once took action to prevent him controlling or taking advantage of his position over young people.

Not just one young person then.
