A week or so ago some papers were saying that Martin Frizzell would have to go as well. I think that's why ITV said PS had resigned. Trying to protect the people still there.
Get rid of all of them.

Is he married to Breakfast Fiona? Don't they have sons too?

Must have been 16/17/18 then 🤢

I'm not sure why he's on the list, even though he is 14 years older than Georgia his wife. But she was well into her 20s when they met, which is rather different to still being in primary school!

(Or have I missed yet another "everyone knows" issue?)

Thanks, I'm confused by this also?

Interestingly, the comments under the DM article seem to be overwhelmingly “leave him alone”, “he’s so brave” and “it’s not a crime”.

Who are these people?

It's infuriating
Wahh the man was legal age. IF he was then he still knew him from 10 and had a massive power imbalance over him. However we know full well he's only revealing a few half truths so try and throw people off scent

Picoloangel · 26/05/2023 20:02

There is absolutely no way that HW and ITV didn’t know. That’s why we were subjected to the whole stunningly brave coming out story. Ruth, Rylan and Eamom knew and were basically sacked.

I used to be fairly neutral on HW but this has made me really dislike her.

Hottoffeesauce · 26/05/2023 20:02

Michael Barrymore was 'dead' in his career after everything came out about him and Phillip Schofield will go the same way.

This has been widely discussed on social media since 2019. It’s an open secret and was the real reason that Ruth and Eamon left TM. It’s also the reason Schofield came out because the guy was trying to sell his story, he’s since left showbiz altogether and has normal job. I hope he’s ok.

Im now expecting the much younger male escort who Schofield was living with through lockdown to sell his story to the highest bidder.

Was he? 😱

PictureConsequences · 26/05/2023 20:03

I don't work in media and have known about this for years. The sensation about his brother and the fact that PS didn't tell the police, just told his brother to stop doing it, would have made this story harder to suppress. It was inevitable it would come out. So of course ITV and HW have known for ages.

Interesting to mention the "affair" (my fat ass) was not illegal. Why mention that?!

The furore now is nothing to do with the fact he was married, I'm sure his wife was well aware of his true self. It's that it is known MM was young when they first met. Although nothing sexual happened till after MM had got a job on the show. Oh please....!!!!

He's not Putin but he's a smug, judgy and hypocritical fecker.

bumblenbean · 26/05/2023 20:03

Ugh. He’s absolutely stomach churning.

You know things have hit an all time low when you have to publicly apologise to the Fail. Love the way they add in a virtue signalling ‘DM are aware of the man’s identity but have chosen not to name him’ 😇

Who are these people?

This is for legal reasons. Moderated comments. So they’re publishing positive ones to cover their own backs too. The Daily Fail are utter trash, don’t be giving them any journalistic credit for finally revealing the truth, as such.

Holly knew exactly what was going on. They all knew. Ruth, Eamon, Rylan. There’s no way she didn’t know as well.

Then they were complicit and can come down from the moral high ground right now. Dr Ranj too.

Hbh17 · 26/05/2023 20:05

Thousands, if not millions, of people have affairs. I really don't understand all the fuss about this one guy, just because he is on TV.

Barrymore is slowly making a come back with a lot of support on social media. People have forgotten all about the unsolved murder in his home

Are you being deliberately blasé. He GROOMED a child. And he wasn’t the only child.

What is the Dr Ranj story? Was he pushing Mermaids type ideology also? I know Dr Christian from Embarrising bodies was.

Something went wrong in that house.

Eamonn and Ruth are the only ones with their reputation intact, well done to them.

And they were thrown under a bus by ITV in a desperate attempt to protect their golden groomer

The word 'affair' is a red herring & for damage limitation purposes. An adult grooming a child is not an affair.

Not because he's on television.

If that's what you really think, you haven't been paying attention. But you sound like a shill TBH.

It's vile isn't it. Like saying 'legal age' makes it magically okay 🪄

AlecTrevelyan006 · 26/05/2023 20:10

Schofield will never appear as the ‘number one’ presenter on telly ever again. He won’t be doing any tv or radio adverts. Nor will he get any musical/Panto type work.

at best he might turn up on a reboot of celebrity big brother in 10 years time.

he is effectively finished.

openstop · 26/05/2023 20:10

He's apologised to the Daily Mail! Wtf

Iamacatslave · 26/05/2023 20:10

He hasn’t “stepped down,” he was kicked out.

QuintanaRoo · 26/05/2023 20:11

I don’t think you can lump David Tenant or Michael Sheen in with the others. Afaik yes their partners/wives are younger than them but they’re long term serious relationships. And afaik they didn’t have a reputation for bouncing from young woman to young woman like Leonardo for example. And certainly not for underage sex like Bowie, Peel and Jagger.
