What's happening to Phillip Schofield?

[ridiculousridiculousness]

It seems like the stories about the old silver fox are ramping up. Feel like there's more mileage in this one that we know...

So we're all mean to be applauding the fact he's a dirty old git then basically. Used his position of power to access much, much younger man. How. Fucking. Courageous.

A tribute?? He’s not dead! 🙄

If I were his wife I’d be incensed by all this fawning.

@CoffeeCoinneseur same one? strange that

I can't imagine fern liked it much either. All fitting together now, isn't it?

Finally it all makes sense.

Holly stated that his hand hadn't been forced to make the big, public announcement about his sexuality.
To which PS replied “No. This is my decision. This is my decision. This is absolutely my decision. It was something I knew that I had to do."
I think the Sunday papers may well tell a different story.

Hope you don’t mind me joining the thread...I too have been busy on Twitter.

Here’s a screenshot of them being in contact on Twitter back in 2011 when he would have been 15. The person who posted this on Twitter said that PS only deleted his comment in the last few days.

Read an interview with Rylan saying unlike people he worked with he didn’t talk to people like shit and treated everyone from a RUNNER to the chairman the same. This has been brewing for a long time.

Quite frankly it’s starting to sound like the TM studios makes The court of Henry VIII look like playschool!

Whatever the truth is or isnt, I hope this young lad has lots of support around him right now.

This is wrong on so many levels.

He's been 'outed' yet we are meant to celebrate his 'coming out'?

PS was in an influential position at a young actors academy.

Now, tell me please,the difference between PS situation and HW regarding abuse of power in the workplace ? As far as I can tell there is little.

I am more concerned about the suspicious condoning support from those less informed or even worse, those in the know who may even work closely with him 🤥🤫

@lilmishap yes same one. This young lad was a member of the 2 Faced Theatre Academy, and lucky for him, he was taken under the wing of the academy's Patron, Philip Schofield and given this wonderful opportunity.

This young man's mentor at the academy was a man by the name of Simon Schofield.

#hetoo

Simon Schofield apparently no relation I might add - although he and PS have known each other for years and worked together many times.

@DawsonJumping Shhhhit. So we have a clear timeline of Twitter interaction, being invited to the GM studios aged 18, then landing the runner job.

Thereis no proof of any grooming or even of a relationship. ATM, obviously. It will all come out in the wash.

Never liked him - way too smarmy!

You remember the odious Max Clifford. When somebody was selling their story he was the go to man. However he said he earns most of his money keeping stuff out of the papers.

I would not hold your breath for his running mate getting his say in the papers. Schofield's mgt has a stable of stars and wields influence. They are probably trading now, will will give you x amount of exclusives over next year for lots of different celebs if you don't run with the PS's runner story.

Already that creepy guy from The Sun who used to be on Lorraine's show has been sending sympathetic posts to PS on Instagram. It was rumoured to be The Sun who was gunning for PS. Probably back tracking now.

Twitter has changed the times though.

Ew. Younger than his daughters. And barely adult when he started mentoring him. That’s basically grooming. By a paternal figure.
How wholesome. Not.
I imagine his daughters are going to struggle with daddy shagging someone who they could realistically date themselves, if they were comfortable with a younger man. And if daddy’s friend was straight, obv.
I have daughters. One in her twenties. If dh came out as gay, we’d deal. If dh had been shagging the coffee boy at work and had then got him shunted off to another department? Bit trickier to get your head around.

Did earn I should have said. He's dead now!

Grim isn’t it Whatsername177?

Ewwww. This is disgusting.

Sarcelle,

I do remember Max Clifford -(and his best friend/client Simon Cowell)
I no longer watch ITV

ITV seem very keen on protecting 'their own'. I sincerely hope that the young man is being supported as his life is going to be hell as soon as the Sunday papers are out.
