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...

poor MM, lamb to the slaughter.

IKR MuchBetterNow. TM has a whole phone section with Vanessa Feltz with callers asking Am I Being Unreasonable? Now where could they possibly have got that idea from?

Well that certainly is interesting sarcelle !!

If I had one, I'd certainly consider taking my story to the papers if I was moved sideways and then lost my job. Bills gotta be paid somehow.

Can someone please PM me who MM is? (It can't be Meghan Markle surely?) Grin

BeyondReasonablyDoubtsLots · 10/02/2020 19:05

Another interesting tweet, if it's true. Anyone able to check?

@BeyondReasonablyDoubtsLots I think he has probably been set up financially for a long time now judging by the lack of comment from him, or the shut down on twitter.

thenightsky · 10/02/2020 19:08

OK... I now know who MM is thanks to that Twitter link Grin

Sarcelle · 10/02/2020 19:12

Irvine's not having it. First blue ticker I have seen referencing it.

And more from Twitter

What's happening to Phillip Schofield?

Schofield can’t control this anymore, people power on Twitter et al is well on its way to exposing him as the nasty entitled predator he is. I have a mental image of him rocking back and forth keening wondering how all this got away from him.

NewAgain123 · 10/02/2020 19:41

I don't think he's brave, not at all!!

I think he has humiliated his Wife and Daughters, he's nothing but a liar and a cheat!!!

And let me tell you, it's a humiliation that never leaves you, still suffering 20 years later!! Having to listen to 'jokes' and having to act as if you find them funny and also having to act that you're ok with the father of your kids being gay!!
People that don't know us, we keep it to ourselves!!

So no, not brave, or a hero, just a regular liar and a cheat!!

Sarcelle · 10/02/2020 19:50

If he was genuinely wrestling with his sexuality there would have been a lot of sympathy for him. But it is so much more than that. He has hoodwinked a lot of people.

Inkanta · 10/02/2020 19:52

MM was let go from Loose Women last week!

SpinneyHill · 10/02/2020 19:55

When this thread was started what were the rumours about him? I'd heard he can be a dick but no real descriptions of what constitutes being a dick!

Tombakersscarf · 10/02/2020 19:58

I was disappointed with the reference to him on The Last Leg on Friday being all about how great it was. Given they must have heard "other stuff" by Friday night you'd think they would have steered clear.

MuchBetterNow · 10/02/2020 19:58

The original rumours were quite vague, allegations of him being a bit of a bully, high handed, getting above himself etc. He was probably under a lot of (self inflicted) stress which he was trying to mask by being a thundercunt

SpinneyHill · 10/02/2020 19:58

He's known this guy since he was 10?!

SalmonOfKnowledge · 10/02/2020 19:58

@NewAgain123, I feel for you. When I was 36, I discovered that my high school boyfriend had come out as gay. I was so young when I was with him, 17-19 on and off, and yet it STILL OCCUPIED MY THOUGHTS for such a long time when I found out.

I cannot imagine finding that out while still in the relationship. Awful. For the woman who is being duped it's awful. Nobody has to be in a relationship. People can be single.

That guy, he left me through my 20s with a bizarre sense that if a man had sex with me he was doing it for me, not for him or WITH me. I couldn't have articulated that precisely but it did leave a scar of some shape.

You have ALL of my sympathies. I was with that guy a brief time and it still left me confused.

SalmonOfKnowledge · 10/02/2020 20:09

@Jillyhilly ha ha that was an hilarious description!

Piers' face. He is struggling to keep his opinions bitten back down. He was nearly swallowing his own lips

Sarcelle · 10/02/2020 20:13

Rumours of another site that his wife has had a boyfriend for last 7 years....would not be surprised, would be happy for her.

It's likely she thought she had a "real" marriage but in latter years found out or was told by PS that he was gay. She probably cares about him very much, they had kids, a great life, and he had a career which was firmly rooted in being a family man. His wife has been in a few of his shows recently consolidating that image.

But if there are any grooming rumours that were substantiated, surely that would be a step too far for any woman.

NewAgain123 · 10/02/2020 20:28

Thanks Smile

It's not nice to hear it at anytime, you have my sympathy.

And yes, I understand how you feel, chin up x

CallmeAngelina · 10/02/2020 20:50

Surely she must have known. If, as Joan Collins said, "everybody already knew, WE all knew, " then I can't see how his wife couldn't have heard. Quite apart from living with the guy for 27+ years, whereby she would know him inside and out.

Expo · 10/02/2020 20:53

Of course she knew!!!

QueenofmyPrinces · 10/02/2020 21:24
