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 think she was at the NTAs when MM allegedly declared his love for Philip in front of everyone.

So what? Imagine exactly the same scenario but where MM was a woman. We all know how that conversation would go.

The post on MN would be:

I've been married to my husband for 20 years. He's always been loving and a great dad to our daughters. Thanks to his work, he's been able to provide well and we have a great lifestyle. He's often had girls having crushes on him at work and we've laughed about it together. Last night I went to a big work event with him which I go to every year. A young woman who is very junior suddenly started waxing lyric about how much she loved him. She was a bit drunk and it was a bit embarrassing. A couple of his colleagues told me not to worry about it - she'd just got a crush and it was fairly obvious. Still there was something about it playing on my mind.

In the cab on the way home, he told me how much he loved me and our children and that this was just another starry eyed intern. I believed him at the time but something is bothering me. I think it was the intensity of the declaration and this morning I'm not sure what to think.

Then there would be a pile of posts saying, believe your husband he's never given you cause to doubt him in 20 years and young women at work are sexual menaces. I know because my own husband who has been secretely fucking the receptionist for a year but I choose to believe he is perfect and I will be back here posting I can't believe it when he leaves me for her in another 6 months has been pesterd by ambitious young women starting on the work ladder.

That's how it would go. There are none so blind as those who don't wish to see.

She looks like an ordinary, mumsy, middle class middle aged woman, not the showbiz type at all, although apparently they met through showbiz.

A very good woman to have in the background.

You're assuming things, she could be a could be a miserable b or a control freak we have no idea.
My opinion was they looked like a couple that don't sleep together.. but then they don't do they..

She probably knew he was gay when she married him.

I think so, I imagine it was convenient - I can't remember that far back but maybe children's tv was still homophobic?

EsmaCannonball · 01/06/2023 22:09

Now he's giving interviews to the Sun and the BBC, claiming he is not a groomer. I beg to differ.

LizzieSiddal · 01/06/2023 22:38

Damage limitation in full flow. 🤮

OneFrenchEgg · 01/06/2023 22:49

This really is like some weird black mirror type life imitating art stuff.
The more that they say the more questions there are.

tobee · 01/06/2023 22:51

God the change in his face in that still. Quite shocking.

Twonewcats · 01/06/2023 23:19

He actually said that he was unprofessional "one time" in his 41y career.
Ffs, one time which lasted years and involved lying to everyone you knew, while raking in millions.

Nofixedabodewell · 01/06/2023 23:19

He says they were ‘mates’. How can a middle aged man be mates with a teenage boy? He’s just got no concept of what is normal behaviour.

LizzieSiddal · 01/06/2023 23:26

He’s also saying there was nothing wrong in him tweeting the 15 year old on social media.

Well despite that behaviour being a huge safeguarding red flag he’s got to say that because there are other examples all over Twitter of him making the first move towards contacting other 13/14 year old boys, sometimes in the middle of the night.

EsmaCannonball · 01/06/2023 23:27

These interviews are about using the media to suppress information rather than spread it.

The vape is a beautifully cynical touch.

I thought this. He’s shit scared what else the media are about to print.

LizzieSiddal · 01/06/2023 23:33

The thing is, who is ever going to believe a word he says in these interviews. He’s admitted lying to every single person he’s close to, so when he says “I’m not a groomer” we don’t believe you Philip!

Aquarius1234 · 01/06/2023 23:36

Didn't know he was a smoker. The vape thing?

Aquarius1234 · 01/06/2023 23:37

Very desperate now with the bbc interview.

Aquarius1234 · 01/06/2023 23:38

I don't get why he would be holding the vape inside for the interview. Odd.

LizzieSiddal · 01/06/2023 23:42

The vape serves as visual distraction to his actual words/bull shit.

JeandeServiette · 01/06/2023 23:45

He was in musical theatre by the time he married her.

Really? He’s 61yo. She looks like a woman in her late 50s. I think we’re just not used to seeing celebs with age appropriate women. Just because she’s not a stick thin woman in her 30s does not mean she looks old enough to be his mum. She does not look like she’s in her 80s!

I think she looks younger than him. Around 50, I'd say, rather than her true age of 59.

Aquarius1234 · 01/06/2023 23:48

Him vaping is making me not be able to watch. Too cringe . Yep.

MeinKraft · 01/06/2023 23:49

tobee · 01/06/2023 22:51

God the change in his face in that still. Quite shocking.

He looks his age suddenly, he cuts a bit of a pathetic figure in that interview with his vape. So different from the shiny healthy ITV darling.

Surely not. What woman would?

Inkanta · 01/06/2023 23:50

Just watched the clip of him saying I am not (a groomer) and then the vaping...
