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...

@KipperBang I have a full time job but get very angry about privileged men getting away with this. It is outrageous

What on earth is a job? Confused

I know Prince Harry from the Daily Mail though 👍

KipperBang · 10/02/2020 23:31

And lol... I was right. Expo is just one of those knobs all over the Harry and Meghan threads. Truly pathetic

I'll leave you to it. How exciting for you saddos as this unfolds!

Expo · 10/02/2020 23:31

@KipperBang oh dear. You are prey to the media aren’t you. Don’t you understand the deals that go on behind the scenes. Naive

Expo · 10/02/2020 23:32

@KipperBang or do you work for one of the well paid PR agencies - paid to keep us commoners in our place

Dusty01 · 10/02/2020 23:40

@KipperBang I don't think anyone is really interested in PS's personal life. Certainly nobody cares whether he's gay or not.

People are curious as to why he has made it our business by publicly announcing it. The whole drama was/is so weird.

I (and I imagine many others here) am fed up with the media feeding me crap and expecting me to fall for it. It's not PS that people want to see fall particularly. Maybe those that really dislike him, but I get the impression most people don't give two tuppences about him. It's ITV and it's smarmy manipulations that we want to see exposed. We want to be told the truth for a change.

Particularly when something close to grooming has been sold to the public as an act of bravery.

Expo · 10/02/2020 23:43

@Dusty01 bang on

Expo · 10/02/2020 23:45

@KipperBang I think you must work for one of the PR agencies that try and manipulate the messaging that we are getting. Harry and Meghan. Philip Schofield. Prince Andrew. What a PR cover up. Good luck.

HeIenaDove · 10/02/2020 23:47

Its not just this . Its the way Kim Woodburn was treated.
The fawning over Ant.

The Jeremy Kyle debacle. ITV come across as a cesspit.

yeh that stinks

maddy68 · 10/02/2020 23:52

It was well known in certain circles that he used to visit his 'friend" Jason Donovan overnight for several years and yes his wife knew

Expo · 10/02/2020 23:54

This one I really want to come out (and all the others obviously)

HeIenaDove · 10/02/2020 23:57

Be interesting what some of the womens weekly mags have to say tommorrow.

Expo · 10/02/2020 23:58

@helenadove oh they will play the game

Triglesoffy · 11/02/2020 06:38

Calm down @KipperBang😂. Sound so like you’re the over-invested one

OhioOhioOhio · 11/02/2020 07:00

Dusty01

That's exactly what I think.

AnnieJ1985 · 11/02/2020 07:14

Irish telly show "Mr and Mrs" reruns fairly regularly. Caught it by accident while channel hopping and PS jovially introducing the "show that delves into how well couples really know each other" seems laughable at the moment

(I am paraphrasing, but that is the jist of his intro)

Russellbrandshair · 11/02/2020 07:25

I’d suggest getting a hobby that doesn't involve day time TV. Or a job. Something like that

@kipperbang you are participating in this discussion just as much as anyone else- where’s YOUR hobby or job or is it “different” for you because you consider yourself better than everyone else and morally superior to us all? If you truly didn’t want to to be a part of this then you’d ignore this thread and move along. But you haven’t have you?! PS could have quietly split with his wife privately but he CHOSE to announce it on national television so of course people are going to talk about it, it’s been in every bloody paper!

Inkanta · 11/02/2020 07:41

trying to smokescreen a still difficult undertaking like coming out to conceal cheating and borderline sexual predatory behavior.

This is what is bothering folk. Were we witness to this?

Also, is the lad in question (MM) who seems to have lost his job at TM and Loose Women, okay?

Jillyhilly · 11/02/2020 07:48

These kind of threads always attract at least one person who is morally outraged on behalf of the person being discussed. It’s an odd sort of phenomenon because the easiest thing is for that person to just leave the thread if they don’t like what’s being discussed, but it’s not worth getting side-tracked over IMO.

Inkanta · 11/02/2020 07:52

Yes. Give us the truth.

SalmonOfKnowledge · 11/02/2020 07:52

Yes probably wouldnt defend their own f&f with such energy and conviction!!

Mascarponeandwine · 11/02/2020 08:21

Don’t underestimate the work going on behind the scenes. I expect Holly is being untangled right now, and plans made for the two of them to “take a break” from TM. PS will be “taking some time out to find himself for his mental health” (sacked). And the newly introduced Sharon / Kelly duo (the masked singer / GMB( will take over.
The actual people you see on the screen have less power than you’d assume.
I suspect the Joan Collins prelude on GMB yesterday was all part of the plan. Piers had no need at all to mention the whole subject, he was there for the Oscars.
