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?...

@FiveOutOfFiveGoldblums is right. It was all about to go off than tragically Caroline Flack’s demise took over the tabloids and the whole be kind thing made people back off. Now Corona and he’s well an truly off the hook.....for now.

no he’s not he’s ruined his wife’s life. Has she said that or have you decided for her?

HillieBoliday · 01/05/2020 17:14

I don’t watch him because I.cannot.for.one.tenth.of.a.second bear the sound of his screechy, over-excited, insincere voice.
And it’s not because he’s gay or ramping up the camp or whatever. I’ve loved Graham Norton (genuinely quick-witted) and Joe Lycett, Julian Clary for 25 years (maybe not Joe for that long ...I’d be as suspect as Schofield if so Grin. But they’re not fake

Just googled Tattle website. Is it a celeb gossip site?
Omg I could literally spend hours looking and found something referencing MN.
I'll take full credit 😉

EachandEveryone · 01/05/2020 17:35

I think the poster meant every celeb does coke not everyone in the general public😄

Yes...ant and Dec is a whole other thread but there is dirt on those two. Once you know it ,it starts to all make sense

0v9c99f9g9d939d9f9g9h8h · 01/05/2020 17:38

I like him actually.

You never know what anyone's really like but he can't help his mouth.

0v9c99f9g9d939d9f9g9h8h · 01/05/2020 17:39

Had a boyfriend holed up in Manchester yet pretends he's a man of the people

Of all the things I've learned today that is the most random. Having a boyfriend in Manchester disqualifies you from being a man of the people. Who knew.

Oh go on. Start one and link it here (although it might not stay up long). I’m in the mood for sleb gossip.

lilgreen · 01/05/2020 17:42

Well it does when you proclaim to be a married family man!

Mallomarsh · 01/05/2020 17:43

As this is a lock down and we're all stuck in doors. Do things get taken down on MN?
Why?
If someone starts a thread about those 2 more than happy to give my inside knowledge.
Let's just say I have full sympathy for ants ex wife...who the papers especially the daily mail has made out to be a money grabbing bitch. That girls deserves every penny.

AliceTeale · 01/05/2020 17:45

Ooh come on Mallomarsh! Spill!! 😁

Havartitomeetyou · 01/05/2020 17:49

Sorry I thought it was pretty obvious I meant “almost everyone in television does coke”, and not “almost everyone in the entire universe does coke.”

Womenwotlunch · 01/05/2020 17:50

@Mallomarsh- you can’t leave it like that. Spill

ArriettyJones · 01/05/2020 17:50

Here you go @Mallomarsh Grin

I didn’t realise that MN had turned into Tattle.

Tattle is a disgusting, horrendous website and should be taken down. The people who post on there are vile.

EachandEveryone · 01/05/2020 17:51

😂😂

Lifeisgenerallyfun · 01/05/2020 17:51

Coming out with a comment like “almost everyone does coke” would seem like a prime indicator to change your social circle. I know one person, who last did it 20 years ago (might know more but they at least have the decency to keep it a shady secret)

Normalising sticking something up your nose where the only certainty as to its integrity is that it’s involved the exploitation and probable death of large numbers of people including children, it’s been mixed with crap (probably literally, or at least piss), will have severe health implications, possible criminal implications and invariably makes you behave like a twat would indicate a problem to the majority of people.

Mallomarsh · 01/05/2020 17:52

Havartitomeetyou · 01/05/2020 17:54

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

No I’ve never done coke, never used any kind of drug apart from trying pot one time in Amsterdam. I find people who do coke really annoying. (Though most people in TV are casual users and not addicts.)

You really need to read my post in context. I said that Tattle is full of shit so anything they say has to be taken with a pinch of salt, but on the other hand nearly everyone (in TV) does coke so Tattle are probably correct in that one particular assertion.

ArriettyJones · 01/05/2020 17:56

Let's just say I have full sympathy for ants ex wife...who the papers especially the daily mail has made out to be a money grabbing bitch. That girls deserves every penny.

The problem I’ve got is I don’t watch any of the relevant programmes just see the odd video clip and read the DM’a sidebar of shame when I’m bored.

However, she always claimed across well and it’s obvious she’s been systematically trashed, which must be horrendous to be on the receiving end of.

shinyredbus · 01/05/2020 18:02

How do you know all this @Mallomarsh - don’t get me wrong I don’t disbelieve you - just curious. Grin

Nikhedonia · 01/05/2020 18:03

I hate watching him on TV. Odious little man.

Boireannachlaidir · 01/05/2020 18:08

Can't stand him and I don't even watch him on tv but he's in bloody Waitrose Magazjne so irritating I am not in the slightest bit interested in what he has to say.
