Schofe is back…

What do we all feel about Phillip Schofield coming back onto our TV screens? He’s posted a status on Instagram to tune in at 9am tomorrow and there are rumours online that he has filmed a show across the pond.

Personally, I think he should come back to do the job he was doing before. Dancing on Ice, This Morning… People compare him to Huw Edwards but they categorically cannot because he hasn’t been convicted of anything….

This is going to create a divide of opinions I know….

Debate!

Let's not forget he covered up for his paedo brother.
Now he's playing the victim.

ClosingTheDoorOnThePast · 25/09/2024 14:02

He still thinks he’s the victim here.

This. No self-reflection at all, just poor me. What about the lad whose career he ruined?

Normallynumb · 25/09/2024 15:22

Self pitying navel gazing opportunity no doubt.
He's been told he'll be castaway on an island, but I wonder if they promised they'll bring him back!!

Interested in this thread?

Annoys me that he says the behaviour was unwise but not illegal. As if that means it wasn't immoral either.

He's a predator.

Yeah can't stand the "well they were legal" line

TheGreatIndoors · 25/09/2024 16:15

As I read on another thread, the reason the age of consent is 16 is not so that 60 year old blokes can shag them. It's so 16 year olds can shag each other.

mids2019 · 25/09/2024 17:05

Maybe channel 5 are taking theories knowing that they can get a few viewers out of stock interest or ghoulish interest in a career epic fail. Sad thing s Scofe thinks he back in the biz.....

@good96 Ewww..I actually dislike myself for bothering to comment.
Solo on any sorta island is all hes good for.
i been around since broomcupboard, am not particularly into tv,but have one-and so he never wasnt on,,in my living room. To be truthful, i ws probably more surprised find out he was married with kids than i was that he was gay.
personally, that level of betrayl is always abhorrent. regardless of how loving\supporting they (wife/kids)want to be.
He is not responsible for his brothers actions, i would not taint him on account of this.
He (philip)responded by publically state"i no longer have a brother"listed why.
He resigned(eventually)from show,but only when gun to head,he disrespected his family, his friends,his collegues and the nation . LIES are horrific, i hate them and liars.
he was forefront media, in our homes daily in society and indeed industry which is aplatform for inclusion. The "at his fingertips" reveltion he was gay could-hve been a "positive"thing. perhaps explored in maanner it helped others.
wasnt the gay that really caused demised tho.he behaved inaappropriately and repeatedly lied,snidely let those arround him publlically support him then ...in not exactly unusual style dropped em all in shite n took of in tears.
hes a beast.
The ONLY reason i would watch his "cast away" crap is if was the bit where hes dumpt on deserted island, with his time ltd videocamera n mic n self pity delusionl arse and crew seen sail off.never to return.
hes a rat

Cattery · 25/09/2024 17:12

Really? Just when I thought my day couldn’t get any worse

MixieMatchie · 25/09/2024 17:12

Yuck. Tasteless, this "castaway" thing, as if a reference to his TV exile. Why can't he just bow out gracefully and do something else, something useful, not just throwing himself in our faces in hope of validation.

Reminds me of that other creep, John Barrowman who popped up on Celebrity SAS after being accused of flashing on the Dr Who set.

Flew to NZ, whined on camera about how the press ruined his life (“I may have got my balls out sometimes”) threw up, then left.

See also - Matt Hancock on I’m a Celeb and SAS.

Why do TV companies indulge these vile men? Get the message - we don’t want to see them ever again! We have enough TV stars, let these ones go and work in a call centre.

Yes, I came on say the same. I can't believe that other dodgy bloke Barrowman has been brought back. Also full of self-pity with a sob story to tell. It just goes to show how toxic and dysfunctional those that control our tv screens are.

the80sweregreat · 25/09/2024 17:15

Nobody has to watch it! I won't , but then I didn't watch this morning with him presenting it either.

the80sweregreat · 25/09/2024 17:16

John Barrowman lasted 36 minutes on celeb SAS
I think he only went for the free plane ride to NZ and to have a bit of a whinge.

Starlightstarbright3 · 25/09/2024 17:21

No I have no interest in watching him … surely we can find some new talent .

the80sweregreat · 25/09/2024 17:23

I think that ( some ) media types are just desperate to be looked at personally
It's a kind of personality flaw , have to be ' adored ' or have others feeling sympathetic towards them. Not sure if it works

FlyHalf · 25/09/2024 17:28

Rather than have one disgraced celeb on an island, they should sign up a handful of them, reassure each slimy bastard that they're doing a 'one man with a go pro' image rehab special, drop them at different ends of the island, and slowly let them discover each other. Film their shocked indignation at being bracketed with sex pests and pervs, and the resulting horror as a Lord of the Flies scenario unfolds, as they battle to establish who is genuinely terrible, and therefore undeserving of a prime time reinvention. Like Monty Python's Whicker Island, but with wankers. Wanker Island. Or Big Bother.

Gloriia · 25/09/2024 17:32

'What he did was an abuse of power'

Exactly yet he's still minimising and playing the victim - 'what I did was unwise but to destroy someone's life over it? He should've said I remain absolutely full of regret for how I lied to loved ones and abused my power with a much younger colleague.

As a pp said he's Barrowman mark 2 with his yeah but no but excuses.

Best MN post ever! Please tweet that to Ch5 etc

WallaceinAnderland · 26/09/2024 01:04

Who do they think is going to watch one pathetic man navel gazing for ten days. It sounds boring as hell.

If you like that sort of show Alone is good. It's proper survival and several interesting people who can hunt, fish, trap and build amazing shelters.

They don't go there with a tent like this one does 😂

I watched that the other day, JB said he was vilified and it was all a lie but then said he did do it after all and wasn't it funny, ha ha ha 🙄 What a vile creature.

I was pointing out homophobic "jokes" aren't funny.
Clearly the op missed him enough to start a thread .
I'm not sure why you've chosen my quote when it has no relevance to you.

actually?
its a online forum,cos i commented-i get email notifications other people also have,then i can choose whether im intrested(click) want to respond(very poor typing and occasionally not what you wanna hear)
You considering it a joke(or not) is fine.
he groomed a minor.utilised his position ,abused trust like goin out of fashion. and gees me the physical boke. (realistically his sexuality oughta be HIS business-HE blew it)
THAT is of relevance to all of us.ok
to be fair that ant\dec thing re him done with drunk driving but still infiltrated my liv room was also horrific.
wee bit annoyed i just explained myself. must be bedtime

Thistooshallpass24 · 26/09/2024 01:49

Maybe read what I wrote? There was a "joke" about Gordon coming out of the cupboard I pointed out it wasn't funny
When did I say I supported P S?
Also you might want to proof read and or gather your thoughts it might be slightly easier to make sense of
