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?...

I like him 😁

I agree op, I thought it was me being a grumpy guts.

StuckBetweenDarknessAndLight · 01/05/2020 15:48

His wife has been having a relationship with another man for 9 years. It's all a lie.

I heard that too.

RaraRachael · 01/05/2020 15:51

Oh dear - I used to fancy him when he did the broom cupboard many moons ago, when he came across as a nice young chap.

On one of my brief forays onto Twitter which I gave up because I couldn't work out what it was all about I rapidly changed my mind.

Ihopeyourcakeisshit · 01/05/2020 15:51

If the story mallowmarsh tells us indeed correct, why isn't someone in the know putting the truth out there?
Surely it's tabloid gold given the oh isn't he brave crap that was going on.
There must be someone with clout thinking 'right sunshine I'm bursting that bubble of shite.'

ArriettyJones · 01/05/2020 15:53

James Grant (or whatever they are now called) doing deals. They represent so much so-called light-entertainment “talent” (Grin) that they broker agreements with editors.

CoffeeandBiscotti · 01/05/2020 15:55

Ah, so really not just me then.

I genuinely have no idea about his private life, so I don't really want to comment on that, but yes...my teeth have definitely been grinding when I see him recently.

But yes, as a pp has already said, I really should just add another box set to my life and not tune in Grin

I've never been keen on him.
I'm sure he has had a hard time emotionally lately but I've always thought of him as a bit stuck up. ( never met him though! )

Waveysnail · 01/05/2020 15:58

Since he has come out iv found hom unbearable. He's awful

Tappering · 01/05/2020 15:58

He's very powerful. And at the moment has the might of the ITV press machine behind him. Much easier to back off. That assumes though, that he doesn't become over-confident and get carried away. People like that invariably end up on the worse end of a tabloid story sooner or later.

AliceTeale · 01/05/2020 15:58

@Mallomarsh did their kids know??

Waveysnail · 01/05/2020 15:59

Never keen on him to begin with and in not homophobic. He just seems to be everywhere since coming out

AliceTeale · 01/05/2020 15:59

That runner - Matthew someone - must have been paid off shitloads. I hope he’s ok.

Biscuit0110 · 01/05/2020 16:02

I can't stand him. You won't find many fans on here op.

Starduststatic · 01/05/2020 16:05

Yes, quite a lot of 'celebs' are though, I guess some of it is likely an act maybe, who knows. Either way, yes.

PamDenick · 01/05/2020 16:05

Can’t bear the sniggering when they lose it because someone is called Fanny or wherever... so don’t send me clips of that on social media, it’s just tedious...

480Widdio · 01/05/2020 16:05

I never liked him even before his hair went white! He comes across as slimey,oh what a horrid word,but he does.

MintyChapstick · 01/05/2020 16:07

I don't know what he's got to be smug about? He's very bloody lucky this pandemic happened when it did, had it not then the press would have been sniffing around him like flies around shit right now.

EdersonsSmileyTattoo · 01/05/2020 16:07

Horrid man.

He's also an alcoholic. His whole life revolves around drink in a way thats not healthy IMO.

Lowhum · 01/05/2020 16:10

There’s a few blinds floating about on him if you have a look 👀

FreakStar · 01/05/2020 16:11

I like him!

The zoo keeper interview was so boring- the only interesting part of the interview was watching the rhinos trying to get the branch.

Yes.He.Is.

I wish he'd drop off the screen, all of them. Forever...
