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!

Is that an insider view? because you seem very sure of all this. Not to mention the matey first name terms.

Well his great chum Holly has merrily thrown him under the bus

Waitresstime · 27/05/2023 18:46

🤣 surely you all have better things to do than discuss someone having an affair…you don’t even know him 🤣

Must be one of the few CEOs not to be a psychopath then, as it's a profession known for them.

No, neither am I

I’m sure I saw on Twitter earlier someone reminding Dan Wootton he sincerely congratulated PS, via a public tweet, on coming out. Which happened well AFTER he claims to have raised concerns about PS and his treatment of young people on staff, with ITV management. Recollections may vary as they say.

I am not sure why faking his age and making him 5 years younger than he actually is in real life needs to be done?

He is a human, he has a birthdate. There is no need to change his age and say the picture was when he was 10. Why are people doing that? What is the rationale for insisting he is 10 in the picture when his age is an actual fact?

I just don't get the need to change facts to create a different narrative than the one that actually exists. Why can't your opinion be formed based on a 15 year old, why does he need to be 10?

No one is faking his age. He was 10 when he joined Schofield's theatre company, and 12 at the time of the first meeting between the two that is documented. However, it's very possible that the two met during the two years the boy was a member of the theatre company, before that one specific meeting.

There's one specific photo online where the boy is 15, and Schofield followed him on Twitter when the boy was 15, that doesn't mean contact between them started when he was 15.

It's slowly unraveling Philip, I imagine there's still worse to come.

Oh what a tangled web we weave...

Trust me I’ve heard from a reliable source the shit is really going to hit the fan.
Theres more to come…

LindorDoubleChoc · 27/05/2023 18:59

Isn't Dan Wootton rather odious?

Holly trying miserably to try and distance herself.

It must be a youngster thing, this thing where they don't agree with someone on one issue so can't agree with them on another issue.

Years ago it was pretty standard to not to be the Borg and not have identical ideas and opinions.

Too late, as you say. She was quite happy to queue-jump and snigger not that long ago. Hope she gets chucked out, too.

What a surprise.

This reminds me of when Cheryl Cole had a baby with someone she met when they were 12 years old.

Yes thats what I thought as well, it was extremely creepy when they were dating, its fine to date someone you knew as a child if you yourself were a child at the same time, or if they were an older teen and you were 19, otherwise completely innapropriate.

Gooseysgirl · 27/05/2023 19:06

Sorry Holly... not buying it

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

The thing is, even if he lied, she must've questioned him on it so must have known something was going on.

GoodChat · 27/05/2023 19:07

And also, she claimed she only first knew when the rumours started 3 years ago, but ITV repeatedly investigated them long before that.

Isn't her husband an ITV producer?

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

Exactly. Some people are scarily strange.

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

Rumour has it that Schof groomed the young man from age 12. Rented an apartment out for him at 16 and got him the job on this morning. Less 2 consenting adult and more 1 manipulated young man.

I also heard a rumour about Holly and the falling out.

All I can say is that after everything the BBC have already been guilty of, they need to stay well clear of PS.

BeverForget · 27/05/2023 19:09

That his management company has dropped him after years of getting their percentage, means that they know that The Schofe is about to become completely unbankable...

TowelRailing · 27/05/2023 19:12

She says she was lied to at first. But doesn’t put a date on how long she has known

I have never said contact started between them at 15. I have said there is no factual evidence that Philip has been grooming him since he was 10 and there is factual evidence that he is 15 in that picture. and not 10. People keep insisting he is 10 in the picture and that the picture is evidence Philip was grooming him since he was 10.

What is the documented meeting between them at 12? I haven't come across that documentation.

GreenPinkBlue · 27/05/2023 19:16

The trouble is, Holly, nobody believes you.
Not least because the ‘affair’ was common knowledge inside the industry and made it a lot of gossip sites, including Reddit and tattle several years ago.
And, btw, what happened to the ‘missing car’ Holly reported to police? I reckon she and her DH have secrets too.
I hope the press take them ALL down now the floodgates have opened.

whynotwhatknot · 27/05/2023 19:21

yeah so she reckons she didnt know and yesterdays statement was a shock to her

ok

All his associates claiming that they didn't know or were lied to mustn't have the internet (or eyes).
