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!

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.

😂Bloody hell, I'm in fits. That's some imagination you have!

What message does it send to victims of grooming and sexual abuse if we 'reinstate' a man like this?

Interested in this thread?

@tolerable
Gordon was a puppet that's correct
Thr "joke" was maybe over your head as it was implied "humour"
What was you little rant regarding "ant+dec"?
When did I say I supported PS?

Arraminta · 26/09/2024 09:38

If we can send one predatory, sickening, young-boy-grooming twat to a deserted island, why can't we send them all there?

tolerable · 26/09/2024 10:14

@Thistooshallpass24 the "Joke"didnt go over my head-nor did i require it be explained.
i couldnt get me knickers in a knot about it to be honest.
You didnt mention your views on PS... focusing instead on "the joke".
My little ant dec rant was off topic(of PS) but intertwined in (my head) in as much as Celebrity status repeatedly disgusts me when they are utterly immoral all the way to criminal.
ie ant drink driving. Guilty fined,banned and yet still bouncing around on tv.

Thistooshallpass24 · 26/09/2024 10:16

@tolerable SHOW ME WHERE I SAID I SUPPORT PS

Thistooshallpass24 · 26/09/2024 10:21

@tolerable ? ? ?

tolerable · 26/09/2024 10:27

@Thistooshallpass24 - are you actully shouting at me?impatient? ...ok
lets do this.
show me where I said you said you support PS? I clearly stated your focus has related only on the you didnt approve of joke.
Sure i reiterated MY view on PS ...but did not do so to attack you -more to demonstrate my thoughts on him.
ok

Thistooshallpass24 · 26/09/2024 10:31

@tolerable you were the one who started quoting me, I had no interaction with you until you mistakenly decided to involve me . Empty vessel's and all that.

tolerable · 26/09/2024 10:39

@Thistooshallpass24 . it wasnt mistake.

Uricon2 · 26/09/2024 10:41

I can't stand him and think any attempt to "rehabilitate" him is wrong. However, I think this has the potential to backfire spectacularly. Joanna Lumley did something similar years ago (I remember her fashioning shoes out of a bra) but she was and remains popular and wasn't in disgrace following a scandal of her own making.

Thistooshallpass24 · 26/09/2024 10:41

@tolerable I'm out I'm not arguing with some random on Mumsnet 😂🤣 you keep 'shouting into the wind' on here.

Yes and if he was remorseful and ashamed of a relationship with such a young junior colleague there would be potential for turning it around but the clip we've seen just shows him indignant at the response when it all came out. He just does not get it.

I'd bet he'd have been the first to have advised his daughters to avoid and report 60yr old creepy bosses chasing them.

dayswithaY · 26/09/2024 15:38

I did read somewhere today that this show and the things that he will say on it, is about to force his former lover out of the shadows as he wants people to hear his side of the story.

Shot yourself in the foot there, Phil.

CherryValley5 · 26/09/2024 15:45

DD sent me this! I think it will be pretty accurate after the interview that he did whilst sucking on said Lost Mary vape.. Beggars belief!!

To be truthful, i ws probably more surprised find out he was married with kids than i was that he was gay.

You and me both. I had friends whose social life revolved around the London gay scene in the 90's and it was common knowledge PS was gay. I didn't know he was married until the story, about his predatory behaviour, broke.

And we're supposed to go along with the pretence that his wife had no idea!

MagentaRocks · 27/09/2024 14:41

I’m sort of tempted to watch it in a watch through your fingers kind of way as I am amazed he thinks this is a good idea and that a company is willing to finance this. Perhaps they are banking on making money out of people that watch it to see how awful it is. I probably won’t watch it though, or maybe just the first 10 minutes.

This sounds like a great idea, only one camera, they'll be fighting over it to get their excuses sob story in first.

They say they're sorry and wheel out the excuses, but the only person they actually feel sorry for is themselves.
And agree minimise what they did, like everyone's overreacting and they're the real victim in the whole scenario

ABirdsEyeView · 28/09/2024 16:24

If his wife knew, then I wonder whether she was told before they got married and had kids, or if this was something she found out when she was already committed.

Just posted this on another thread, but article in the Guardian he says"I think another TV presenter or two might have done exactly the same thing, difference is, heterosexual, it’s not an unusual thing in the gay world for there to be a difference in age groups.”

Emmanuelll · 29/09/2024 10:30

He’s a narcissist and he managed to upset everyone he worked with in the past - I’ve no interest in watching him.
