‘Fired for someone else’s crime’ – Phillip Schofield blames brother for ITV exit (msn.com)
(from the Independent via MSN)

He really doesn't get it, does he? He's very sorry for all his lies, but he did nothing wrong. Wake up Schofe. You abused your power on This Morning to have an inappropriate relationship, and reporting your own brother doesn't absolve you of that. Funny that you only made the report when people were sniffing round you.

PS Despite saying he was fired because of his brother, he also maintains that it was him who resigned.

He is desperate for a come back. But ITV or even BBC aren’t going to touch him with a barge pole.

Oh Philip.....
What a shoddy, shitey, supercilious sycophant you are....

@DoreenonTill8 ..you missed smug of your list..but otherwise an excellent alliteration.
I only saw the clip of the programme being used on the itv news and I wanted to puke.
He really is a whiney little weasel

Lilith666 · 30/09/2024 21:58

He has no shame, disgusting man, that's why he thinks he can make a wonderous comeback.

Theycantallbecomspiracytheories · 30/09/2024 22:03

What was the show he was on tonight like?

FanofLeaves · 30/09/2024 22:03

His tearful little philosophical speeches felt incredibly rehearsed.

IWantKateGarrawaysHair · 30/09/2024 22:06

Were his parents close relatives or something? To have 2 such rancid sons is just awful

AppleDumplingWithCustard · 30/09/2024 22:09

Repulsive, self-pitying, whining little man. I certainly don’t want to see or hear anything more of him and I’m sure I’m not alone in this.

Babamamananarama · 30/09/2024 22:11

The excuse that gay relationships often have a large age gap is just Biscuit.

Quitelikeit · 30/09/2024 22:13

For me it was the fact he knew the male at 15 years of age

Fizbosshoes · 30/09/2024 22:15

I'm slightly tempted to watch it just to see what pathetic excuses he comes up with....but I fear for my tv in case I want to throw things at it!!

LizzieSiddal · 30/09/2024 22:17

Apparently his 30 year old daughter now “represents” him. He sent her into a meeting at ITV and she demanded an apology from them.

Reminds me of Prince Andrew taking his daughter into meetings with the BBC. 🤔

Really? Well I guess her financial fortunes rise and fall with his, so..

He had a good run for years though, he should just retire.

I won’t be watching, never liked him anyway

hattie43 · 30/09/2024 22:32

He's a tone deaf meathead wallowing in self pity .

MugPlate · 30/09/2024 22:40

Reminds me of Grima Wormtongue.

SweetSakura · 30/09/2024 22:48

I don't think anyone's going to fall for it. But I've been surprised at all the obsequious newspaper reporting about his 'comeback"

Pretty sure he'd known him since he was about 12?

FamilyPhoto · 30/09/2024 22:51

He has absolutely no insight into his actions. Baffling 🤔

Nannyfannybanny · 30/09/2024 22:55

I recently read the guy he had the relationship with was only 15 when he head hunted him and got him employed on TV...do people really work at 15,, then he started a relationship with him at 17,that's still legally a child. If he had been a teacher,he would have been sacked as well. I feel desperately sorry for his wife ( my first husband got very drunk after 20 years of marriage and fessed up to me, I was his only female sexual partner and he only married me as a front for his middle class family,) I had a good friend who committed suicide because of this.

QueenOfHiraeth · 30/09/2024 23:01

The thing that astounds me is that he seems to regard his career and all the privilege he had as his God-given right and think that it has been unjustly taken from him rather than he threw it all away with his own self-indulgence and arrogance

AutumnGarland · 30/09/2024 23:06

I’m watching the programme, he’s coming across like a complete narcissist. Honestly he repulses me.

LizzieSiddal · 01/10/2024 08:27

I’m glad he’s done this programme. He’s seating out for all to see that he’s a lying narcissist.

Goody2ShoesAndTheFilthyBeast · 01/10/2024 08:33

I read he said something about there being other people who've done similar and basically hinted that he could expose some shit.
