To think that Philip Schofield is a monumental arsehole?

I was just on the DM website, browsing the side bar of shame and came across this

www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2514492/Phillip-Schofield-says-Rebecca-Adlington-shouldnt-Im-A-Celeb.html

Now I don't particularly disagree with him in principle, however it would have been far more professional for him to keep his stupid, arrogant mouth shut. But having witnessed him on This Morning in recent years it's becoming increasingly clear that he thinks he's far more important than he actually is and that people actually giving a flying shit about what he thinks.

I think he's a smug, self indulgent knob and I can no longer watch This Morning because of him. Why is he still so popular?

I can't be doing with Schofield at all, he is an irritating little twerp, I don't watch morning or daytime TV, but he is always on some other stuff, such as the crappy adverts he does, The most cringy thing, was the ridiculous set up, when he came out as gay in the studio that time, with tears and hugging and all the rest.

I cannot stand him

Thenamegame0 · 01/03/2022 04:51

YANBU think it was the stuff with the young runner Matthew that did it for me 🤮🤮🤢

crispsarny · 01/03/2022 05:20

Can’t stand him, always turn over when he’s on, I remember him talking to a woman on This Morning like shit, he’s an unsympathetic self righteous narcissistic git, ITV is full of them though, hate that channel.

Well this thread has aged well!

Oh gosh yes! I can’t understand why such a fuss was made and why his sexual preferences were such big news! He’s certainly not as important as he thinks he is - not in our house anyway!!

YANBU OP.

Hippophile · 01/03/2022 06:03

He’s an odious creature

AllThatFancyPaintsAsFair · 01/03/2022 06:08

@Ddot

Dislike him intensely, never have never will
Why would you revive a years old thread to post something that doesn't even make sense? Confused
Ddot · 01/03/2022 06:27

Because I google him about something and this thread came up. I find him rather self absorbed. His poor wife too, yes he had the right to come out but he could have been less 🥳

@ShirleyPhallus

Well this thread has aged well!
More relevant than ever!
RupertOscar1999 · 01/03/2022 06:58

I disagree! Phillip and Holly are the best duo :)

LetsGoCrazyPurpleBanana · 01/03/2022 07:02

He's really changed. Comes across as very smug,bitter and rude. He didn't like being told off yesterday in the pizza segment. Face like a smacked bum throughout and kept making sly dogs. Wonder if Clodagh will be back after that LOL.

Alcoh · 01/03/2022 07:05

Didnt he do something dodgy with the runner and survived the fall out?

LetsGoCrazyPurpleBanana · 01/03/2022 07:08

Alcoh yes hence the sudden rush job to come out on the Friday when P and H aren't normally in. A Sunday exclusive was going to break and it was a trade off with the paper. Otherwise they were going to post about him and MM.

Thewindwhispers · 01/03/2022 07:09

I turn off the radio whenever he comes on with his annoying voice.

I’ve had no time for him ever since he ‘bravely’ announced he was gay with timing that was obviously for career reasons, and then went on a massive PR campaign about how gay he was despite how humiliating it was for his wife and children.

What did you Google?

Agree about turning off the radio when those bloody adverts come on

RupertOscar1999 · 01/03/2022 07:16

I love Phillip!!

Sparklingbrook · 01/03/2022 07:18

I don’t understand why you’d revive a thread from 2013 either. If you dislike him so much why were you Googling him @Ddot? Confused

Ddot · 01/03/2022 07:21

Why Eamonn Holmes dislikes him so much, then a few articles came up about him being a creep and an arsehole haha
