Philip schofields wife

[portocristo]

I watched some of his documentary and was thinking it would be interesting if his wife or even the guy he had an affair with gave their side of the story on a island in Madagascar !.His wife and daughters look really close with him which seems really odd given the fact he hugely betrayed them ,or maybe they already knew he was gay ?

She was a production assistant on his TV show in 1987. It's impossible she wouldn't have known he was gay. I always assumed he was and had no inside knowledge.

Interesting take - I've always assumed it was a later-in-life realisation for him? He doesn't seem to have had any other gay relationships except with that one young man - I'm sure others would have come out of the woodwork by now if he'd been living that life the whole time.

"The gay thing"

Good grief.

Totally agree.

You doubt he's gay?

What a vile post, to base it entirely on your evaluation of another person's sexuality.

The public don't own the wife, it doesn't take much intelligence to realise that

Just walked past all the newspapers and magazines with him on the front calling Holly a witch etc..
How dare he, the brass balls on him. Why would he want to draw attention to himself like this when everyone thinks he's a creep. And making out like people ruined him.. he ruined himself.

Give spitting image did this way back when I would imagine it's always been known or at least rumoured

I don't think Schofield feels that women are anything other than a resource for him, mostly window dressing to make him look good.
As for his wife knowing hes' gay I think we can safely assume she had an idea, however for whatever reason she has made her choices, whether its financial or something else who knows?
I think that as long as there is no deceit (which there probably was at some point) then we can't judge their marriage

Got to love Mary and Giles on Gogglebox, summing up PS - his head is full of fridge magnet cliches seen at a garden centre

I hope his wife knew from the get go and actively chose to marry him for her own reasons.
I really hate it when gay men deceive women into spending their best years with them and then disclose the truth.

From the clips on gogglebox it seems that PS is blaming everyone for his own situation, but himself.

He clearly hasn't got over it and is venting. Not very mature but he clearly hasn't reflected on what he did and why most people think it required an apology rather than blaming of others for his own actions.

Oh stop it. He was grooming young boys 😡🙄🤦‍♀️

And why is he still wearing that wedding ring? 🙄

@PicturePlace

I mean, I wouldn't hate my Dad if he was gay? What's wrong with you?!
Of course not but I would seriously have some negative emotions regarding my mother being deceived, having an affair with a 19 year old and potentially grooming that person since they were a child.

Wouldn't he at all surprised if in 15 years they all come out in interviews saying what a narcissist he was and how their whole sense of everything was messed up by having him as a father. That it has taken them years to understand that even supporting him now was driven by his manipulations of them

Agree, plus .... PS is the rain maker. The wife and daughters would be living a much more modest existence without his financial input.

I presume that's what helps them decide whether to stay or leave him.

Exactly. This happened to my good friend. She had no issue with her husband realising he was gay. No issue even with the time it took him to realise that.

She quite rightly was distraught at how he then conducted multiple affairs while she raised their children

I heard Marina Hyde talking about the programme and what breathtaking narcissism he showed. She mentioned his daughter (and his agent I think) going to the head of ITV to ask why he was being blanked and not getting work. It just showed his complete lack of self awareness and the extent to which the people around him enable his sense of entitlement.

I think it was her who brilliantly described his Castaway catastrophe as “Edgelord of the Flies”.

Scofield has zero self awareness or humility. The entire programme he berated everyone for lying/throwing him under the bus when he’s done far worse to his own wife and daughters. Nasty little shit of a “man”.

It looked a little like a hostage situation to me. They need his career for money.
They need to assist the come back, it makes for better tv for him.
They still pander to him and his career.

He tried the apology show, told us what a tough time he’s had, now he’s on the survivalist band wagon, he is trying absolutely anything to stay relevant. They are probably being guilted in to thinking they can’t mess this up for him by not appearing perfect.

I watched the island thingy and I think he could have quite a nasty vicious streak to him. His family came across as almost brainwashed.

What if you felt you had been used for years as a beard?

All kinds of things happen behind closed doors. Many couples in long marriages have separate lives but outwardly are still a couple. Sometimes it simply suits both parties.

I strongly suspect his wife was aware of his sexuality etc.

I'm assuming his wife discovered at some stage that he was gay, but decided to remain married to him anyway. Maybe she loved him and didn't want the pain of separating and starting again with someone else. Or maybe she was thinking of her kids and didn't want her family broken up and her home sold and her DC splitting their time between their parents.

I don't know how old his daughters are, but they might have thought it was very cool that their Dad was now being true to himself and embracing his sexuality.

The revelation about his relationship (grooming might be a more appropriate term) with a young PA was probably a lot harder to swallow. What's being said behind closed doors might well be a very different story to what his family are saying in public. But obviously we're not privy to those conversations. I wasn't aware that his DD was his manager. Of course she's going to support him. She'll be out of a job if his career fails. Although I don't see how his career could possibly rise from the ashes.

Also, I agree with @biglipslittlehips that his DC might have a very different view of things 10 or 20 years down the line, when they have a bit of life experience behind them.

I couldn’t agree more with your post. There’s such a misunderstanding of suicidal feelings and it’s so hurtful to the people left behind when people make these statements.

I think his wife must have known about his sexuality on some level.
