There we go Schofield has admitted ‘affair’

[muppetmayhem]

Front page of the daily mail for my sins.

His daughter worked at his talent agency. His wife is also a co-owns his business. I think his family have known about everything for years.

Didn't his wife become the major stakeholder in their company fairly recently?

@ReunitedThorns

interesting......

So the whole family is 'team Schofield'? I guess it wouldn't be in their interest to rock the boat by making any revelations? I wonder if the talent agency will move against the family for their own PR? Sounds like a disaster all round.

It's odd that Ant and Dec said they're taking a break earlier this week too. I hope it's just a coincidence

Both adults. Both consenting. I don’t care.

He will spend the rest of his days in the same bin as Barrymore and other disgraced angry presenters.
Everyone is looking for his wrong doing but it doesn't sound as if he has actually done anything illegal or particularly morally corrupt. Perhaps he just needs a bit of time away.

Well done Dan.

Like many people I don't agree with him on everything, he did well here.

I still think when younger he and Claire are in part responsible for how far Katie Price spiralled, not that she helped herself.

@prettyLittlefool

“particularly morally corrupt.”

Have you read this thread? Although the affair (allegedly) started when the runner was eighteen, PS knew him when he was younger, so people are alluding that this could be seen as grooming.

Agree. I’m getting more than a whiff of homophobia here.

I can only imagine that the loose women were dealing with similar fallout with the young man that you see in the Dugger women. They were innocents given life sentences, it's not fair.

Remember that crigey (even back then) We But Any Car.com ad urging us all to be "more Phil Schofield" I bet whoever thought THAT up feels like crawling away and dying with embarrassment........

I don’t give a shit who is shagging who. But grooming? Covering up? Lying? And you think it is ok?

This is what I think and whilst it is important that the truth should come out, witch-hunty threads like this make me uneasy.

am a little sick of the accusations of homophobia. That's just nonsense.
This is a man who had an affair with a teenager whilst he was married and presenting this wholesome image to
camera. It's utterly grim at best, grooming at worst.

A whiff? There have been overtly homophobic comments, including serious assertions that gay men are more likely to be paedophiles, and ‘backs to the wall’- type playground gags.

Really unpleasant stuff. The site’s becoming more and more an extension of the Daily Mail comments section.

There used to be an ad for a gin club in which PS hands over the gin stuff to the householder and says 'now all I need to do is disappear' and the bloke says 'I can do that' and slams the door in his face.

Quite a metaphor, in retrospect.

I had a quick look at the link and seems a few days ago in a panic he lied to the DM. It was around the time his brother was sentenced. He probably didn’t want to be linked to his bro and he was right. Some unpleasant and sensationalist comments here. He’s just thrashing about horribly publicly and it’s sad. Bigger story is how ITV behaves.

Well I’m sick of the overtly homophobic comments and the bigots who stick up for them.

I think some people posting here think we should #be kind and include everyone whilst clapping along immortal behaviour. Whilst everyone is entitled to their own point of view, I wouldn't want a Foucault \blurr boundaries \anything goes \be kind to EVERYONE type in my life.

But still colluded in the cover up for a while longer when the Sun got the exclusive of Phillip Schofield being outed.

Not defending PS for a second but Dan Wooton is a self serving twat

The psychopath here isn't Carolyn McCall. It really, really isn't.

Dan didn't leave ITV, Dan was (very creatively) pushed, Dan has a huge axe to grind, Dan wants revenge. Not excusing PS in any way but Dan is very very very far from being an angel. He will go for everyone from Carolyn down because he believes they thwarted his big television career. Dan is now on GB news, spouting his usual bile, and no decent broadcaster will touch him with a bargepole.

Carolyn has been very good for ITV, she is a really effective chief executive. She is very far from being a psychopath. And there are plenty of them in the media so they are easy to spot!

Holly Willoughby says Phillip Schofield lied to her about affair in first statement since relationship emerged

Nahhh, she knew. That’s why they fell out in 2019.

Someone else who worked with him on ITV says a storm is coming, I dread to think what else will come out of all of this. Never liked him. Smug, arrogant twat
