To think Phillp Schofield is REALLY smug and annoying?

.....and rather self obsessed!

I don't think he's a bad person, but he's really getting on my nerves recently and I don't know if that's my general tolerance being lower, due to lockdown or if he really has changed.

For example, what was with that interview at the zoo with the This Morning vet a few days ago?! How rude?! Don't get me wrong, initially I was with him - yes, give the rhino the branch, but he wouldn't shut up! Just kept yelling at him, "open my mic!!" completely talking over the other guy, who was actually trying to explain something very important. I think (although it was difficult to hear due to Schofields shrieking!) that it was something to do with the zoo not having enough money to feed the animals, due to Covid and the loss of visitors, so y'know....quite important Hmm Oh and then like a little school boy, started talking over them again, repeating "can we see the giraffes?.. can we see the giraffes?" 🤨

Plus I was recently recommended a YouTube video (must have watched an interview or something) of him and Holly interview Andrea McLean a few years ago and he was HORRIBLE to her. Yes, she had been unfaithful and quite publically, but he was so nasty and cold. Said something along the lines of "well that's not exactly very Cinderella like is it?" And looked at her like she was nothing. So maybe it's not so recent then.

He just has this very smug demeanor. When he takes part in a 'doing' item, he goes all pouty and looks so self satisfied.

Is it just me?...

Arietty was it LimitedEdition or something like that? She worked on Heat magazine I think?

Apologies for gate-crashing but I’ve been reading since the start of the thread. Blush

Wewearpinkonwednesdays · 02/05/2020 14:54

YANBU. I don't think it's just recently though. I've always struggled to watch him and Holly. Find them both a bit smug. Strange because I quite liked her in other things, but on this morning they always seem to have inside jokes, and kill themselves laughing at things all the time. Just find them a bit unprofessional really.

HillieBoliday · 02/05/2020 14:55

I feels really silly nowBlush Nanny or Nancy sounds nothing like LimitedEdition. I think I’m thinking of Nancy62 or some such. someone take the phone away from me I can’t even blame drink at 3pm in the afternoon

KaronAVyrus · 02/05/2020 15:02

I just find the constant giggling fits to be utterly fake.

HillieBoliday · 02/05/2020 15:10

We’d all be giggling at nowt at 11 am the third Monday in January if we’d just done a few lines😉

Not that I’ve ever watched them.
If you’re a lightweight in the cerebral gifts dept the least you can do is be kind

MrsNoah2020 · 02/05/2020 16:26

Agree @HillieBoliday. Probably explains the zoo conversation mentioned in the OP too.

FiveOutOfFiveGoldblums · 02/05/2020 16:32

Still under this name. Sorry Nancy, I remember there was another sleb twaddler back in the day with Nancy and a number next to it. You're not going mad hillie
As to deleted tweets, sorry guys that's on me. I sent more than one pm last night - and given it was hearsay/gossip - I did say I was deleting after a time frame. I didn't mind forwarding the tea-spilling as I hate it when a thread is taken down and we didn't get to read it - but without receipts, all sleb twaddle is a blind item at the end of the day - nothing more than what has been said upthread.

boomchikawowwow · 02/05/2020 19:40

Thanks to this thread I've discovered tattlelife and have spent ageeess reading the dirt on there.

Willowmartha1 · 02/05/2020 19:52

Just watched the interview with the zookeeper unbelievably rude !! Perhaps he and his simpering, airhead co-presenter can help out with some of their vast undeserved salaries ???

SophieB100 · 02/05/2020 20:01

Same here @boomchikawowwow, I love it Grin

boomchikawowwow · 02/05/2020 20:16

@SophieB100 i can't stop reading it 😂

IamHyouweegobshite · 02/05/2020 22:39

@aliceteale could you please inbox me the story? Thanks

TreeTopTim · 03/05/2020 07:02

Fell asleep reading this thread. I am actually surprised that it is still here.

I have always found PS to be a smug twat. Don't think much of HW either. She is apparently leaving celeb juice. If true I hope that show ends and Keith Lemon disappears from our screens.

MJ555 · 03/05/2020 12:18

@mrsnoah2020 yeah specifically it's the story I'm not buying... for one second Grin

MrsOrMiss · 03/05/2020 15:26

Wow, my pm has been deleted too Shock

Oh, the Robbie thing? 100% true.

finished31 · 03/05/2020 15:35

My PM days deleted at users request??

ChandlerIsTheBestFriend · 03/05/2020 17:36

Everyone should know by now that MN check your inboxes.

Bottomplasters · 03/05/2020 17:41

Thought this was deleted! Wonder why still standing but any and dec one gone?

pilates · 03/05/2020 17:47

“Everyone should know by now that MN check your inboxes.”

Really?😲

FiveOutOfFiveGoldblums · 03/05/2020 19:12

No, muggins here didn't like the idea of anyone feeling left out even though the twaddle was the kind you see on cdan and dig spy, so I sent out 20+ pms , then repeated pms for those who hadn't opened them in time. Gave it a day then deleted those too. So if you have deleted by user's request - yes, I have cleared my sent box. You snooze you lose, MNHQ haven't been spying Grin

ChandlerIsTheBestFriend · 03/05/2020 19:19

MNHQ haven't been spying

Well they have, you just got to your delete button before they did! Grin

boomchikawowwow · 03/05/2020 19:20

I'm sure most of the gossip is on Tattlelife now

MrsEsss · 04/05/2020 08:58

I'd like to add Gino D'Acampo smug and annoying list. Sure, he may be a talented chef but that's about it. All the ridiculous mispronouncing words to make them sound rude. And P and H crying with laughter because he's just said "anal". I mean, really?

Haggisfish · 04/05/2020 10:07

I can’t stand any of them. Vacuous and smug with a seemingly iron fence around them.

MJ555 · 04/05/2020 11:36

I feel like there are lot of 'in the know' people on here so please do all join Tattle too, where none of the comments are ever deleted or moderated (so it seems).
