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?...

almost everybody does coke no they don't, what a ridiculous assertion.

IhateBoswell · 01/05/2020 16:36

I've never even tried coke, the scene in Pulp Fiction where she accidentally snorts the heroin put me off for life 😑

Mallomarsh · 01/05/2020 16:38

Apparently Holly and her husband have an open relationship. Sorry off topic but finding it fascinating Grin

Womenwotlunch · 01/05/2020 16:40

It is an open secret that PS was gay. The relationship with very young men is of interest
As another poster suggested, PS got ‘lucky’ because attention has been on the Coronavirus.
However, things will definitely get out one day

He has to be the most annoying man on TV, huge ego

picklemewalnuts · 01/05/2020 16:44

I don't pay a lot of attention to mainstream media- I gave dancing on ice a try because I liked Strictly.

Holly was like an animated Barbie, so I was surprised she eventually made it big. It wasn't natural talent, though I think she does a good job now.

Philip has always set my teeth on edge, I think because he's so insincere. It's a quality that doesn't bother me in actors- they are acting- but in presenters it really does. He's all fake smarm.

JemSynergy · 01/05/2020 16:45

I agree and I'm not too keen on Holly either. They can be very self righteous. I can't stand to watch them so I don't.

MarieIVanArkleStinks · 01/05/2020 16:49

I thought he was a kids' presenter. Had no idea he was still on TV until he came out. He's always seemed the same to me.

Place marking

Elsiebear90 · 01/05/2020 16:51

I’ve never liked him or Holly, found them both smug, fake and full of their own self importance. Would not be surprised if the rumours about his marriage being one of convenience were true, so I don’t think his wife and kids are necessarily “victims” as they likely knew all along and went along with his lies because they all benefited from his “family man” image. As someone who is gay, I don’t think it’s brave to “come out” just because your double life has been exposed and you’re being forced out of the closet anyway. He just wanted to control the narrative imo.

CottonHeadedNinyMuggins · 01/05/2020 16:51

@ArriettyJones
Bloody hell. How elaborate. All because of his media career, presumably? Why would a woman sign up for that? Have his daughters known for years, then?

Yes, one of his daughters is (think it might have been updated in the last few weeks to someone with more experience due to the revellations and what he's hiding) his manager so it suits her to keep a lid on everything too under the James Grant branch (his agent)

MarieIVanArkleStinks · 01/05/2020 16:52

Remember that weird story about Holly reporting her car stolen? Then it turned out her husband had it all a long.

I don't know anything about these people, but I do know the one sole reason people report their cars stolen when they're not. Especially when said car ends up in a crash.

RainMustFall · 01/05/2020 16:54

You're right OP, he's a smug, self obsessed twit.

Was anyone else not surprised when he came out? I always thought he was gay.

lotusbell · 01/05/2020 16:54

@Mallomarsh, I think you've made it on that Tattle site!

HappyBdayCaptnTom · 01/05/2020 16:54

The one thing that strikes me about PS every time I see him on tv is how he seems to be shrinking. Has anyone else noticed? He seems to be getting thinner and thinner and thinner. Now know I people can shrink when they’re ageing but PS is hardly of that age..is he well?

Honeyroar · 01/05/2020 16:54

Can’t bear the man, or Holly, although she isn’t as rude and can show a kind side sometimes. I’ve thought PS was a tit for years.

@Havartitomeetyou,”almost everyone does coke”,what you mean is there are a lot of drug addicts around,but it is far from nearly everyone.

I take it you are trying to normalise it,if you are doing coke,good luck,you will need it.

Greydove28 · 01/05/2020 16:59

And don't get me started on how they just laugh hysterically over nothing!! Just so annoying!

Lifeisgenerallyfun · 01/05/2020 17:01

He’s been a cunt ever since he dumped Gordon for the big time!

Devlesko · 01/05/2020 17:03

Maybe the kids aren't his. If they were both in it together.
Or they must have both shut their eyes and thought of all the lovely money they have.

Devlesko · 01/05/2020 17:07

That's funny, every poster on Mnet, is in the know about Phil and Holly, they are a bit too shallow for us not to know.
Hardly make a secret of their lives and you don't have to be Einstein to see neither has an ounce of talent.

guanciale · 01/05/2020 17:07

the only reason i watch its cuz of holly, and not for her talents either

overnightangel · 01/05/2020 17:08

He’s a piece of human garbage

Lou670 · 01/05/2020 17:08

That man is a nightmare!!
