Very happy as I can't stand him

Don’t you mean broom cupboard? snigger

I loathed him on RATW. The way he seemed to expect villagers in some remote part of Peru (or wherever they were) to be impressed because they had the Scott Mills in their presence did my head in. I was gutted when he and his missuited, nice husband won instead of Jeff and Freddie

Seems there are a lot of us getting Schofield vibes, which is interesting as that was my first thought too.

I dont think so

I think he had an affair with a younger man. Inappropriate but not worth being cancelled over

I reckon he pissed people off. Wasn't a nice guy imo

Anybody but Vernon or Richie Anderson to fill the gap!, and forgot, please not Paddy mc Guiness either.

Huff post says it’s 2 occasions of “inappropriate touching” from a historic relationship

I'd love the Rev Kate, she's intelligent, warm, funny.

I cannot stand faux-stupid Richie!

Same, it makes me wonder if he's been sacked for something like arrogant bullying. He seems to have a bit of a superiority complex.

Isn't it interesting that people's opinions are so diverse.

I can't stand Rev Kate and am always happy when it's Jason doing their show on his own.

Very. And they'll hire and fire based on numbers (as well as misconduct, obvs). I cant fathom how he lasted this long. But I also don't get how Paddy McGuiness is still on air.

'Faux stupid'
You've hit the nail on the head there. And that's why I can't stand Richie. He's clearly not daft if he's managed to clamber so high at Radio 2. So why act like some ditzy idiot?

I hope that whoever replaces him will be employed on a much more realistic salary. Around £1000 a day for being on the radio for a few hours is, quite frankly, ridiculous. It’s licence payers money, and it’s time the general public is consulted about how their money is spent.

A very good agent and some watertight NDA's to keep that family man of the people image going.

I didn’t see Schofield as a children’s presenter, although his beginnings were.

Have you ever heard of Stacey Solomon?

Wrong! My mornings haven't been the same since he left Radio6 breakfast. I can't stand false jollity in the mornings.

There couldn't be any concerns over a relationship he had over 10 years ago unless it was highly inappropriate. And the only reason I can think of is that the other male was vulnerable in some way?

Wait, so in a historic relationship he inappropriately touched the person during this?! Sounds like an ex is bitter and wants blood. Unless he’s saying he interfered with him without consent.

Nope it was grooming. The man (then a boy) is apparently a shadow of himself.

I wondered where he’d gone. Blimey!

It was definitely grooming an underage boy in schofe’s case.

I apparently heard that he was doing well and has moved on.

Grooming is serious and dispicable, but i just dont think this was

I'm with you, always thought we was very fake.

Agreed. I dont know why he is dragged out into these sorts of situations

Edwards broke the law around indecent images so thats a different matter.

He was in his 20’s. It was such an “issue” as Schofield was covering up that he was gay.

Why was Schofield sacked if it was such an innocent relationship then?
