Has anyone seen this! Apparently years ago this YouTube pranksters let off an indoor confetti cannon in a restaurant where Philip Schofield was having a meal with a teenage boy! I think the video was from 2013! The guy who took the video, Jack Jones, has now come out to say that Philip begged him not post the video. If you watch it it's really creepy!

Are you saying that his wife and daughters were fully aware that their father / husband was having sex with boys and did / said nothing because money??? That’s an awful assertion to make.
It’s akin to staying trans widows must have colluded with their husband because they didnt immediately leave him. Have you never heard of coercive control?

I don't know how much they know but they are still standing by him right now when they shouldn't be. Both his daughters are adults living with their partners so they really don't have to withhold condemnation of his behaviour.

Why is every thread on Schofirld hijacked by those wishing to discuss Cheryl Cold and Macron's wife? They're completely different issues. If you want to discuss those relationships, why not start your own threads instead of derailing this one?!?

Maybe they know more about it than we do?

Of course they're standing by him. He's their father and they love him.

Didn't the man want to remain anonymous?

That ship sailed years ago unfortunately.

kerryno · 29/05/2023 18:29

I wouldn't view it because of that though.

Same with Cheryl Cole and Liam Payne

Aaron Taylor Johnson and his wife had a very similar relationship.

I’d love to know why a restaurant served a 17 year old that massive glass of red wine 😬

I wouldn't stand by my father if he did that.

I've seen this video before and it's not a good look for Schofield.

I understand people making comparisons with Cheryl or Macron. But for me the difference is they developed into actual relationships. Whereas Phil just wanted a very young man to have sex with.

Sorry if I am way off the mark but this is how I see it.

Lozza013 · 05/06/2023 00:12

It was 2015 when the lad was 19

JamSandle · 05/06/2023 00:16

People may come out of the woodwork for their pound of flesh even if he did nothing wrong in those circumstances.

Lozza013 · 05/06/2023 00:19

The video was made 2015 the lad was 19

Hiding in plain sight...gross.

16 and 17 year olds are allowed to drink wine with a meal in licensed premises when accompanied by an adult.

Elior · 05/06/2023 20:38

If you know a teenager has MH difficulties then would you encourage him to have a massive glass of alcohol on your watch? Well, I suppose you might if you were trying to get them to lower their inhibitions.

I bet that he admitted to MM visiting his flat once because that was the only time that they were seen by a third party.

shadowchancesassy · 05/06/2023 20:44

I've seen it it's gross. The boy looked about 14 🤮

You might have thought the same when you saw my heavily pregnant daughter with a big glass of wine, it was alcohol free wine so there was no issue.

So should consent be based on our age or how we look?

I've seen the video and didn't find anything creepy in it.

Philip schofield sits across from a table to the young man, in a public place, in broad daylight.

I had friends in their 30s when I was a teenager, people who looked out for me and whom I turned to for advice and support.

The difference is that this man and Philip went onto have a relationship but there's nothing creepy with the video itself, it just shows that they new each other at a certain time.

This is a really good description of grooming.
