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 knew that thread wouldn’t last long, but thank you @Mallomarsh - most interesting Smile

gonna get zapped!

sneeuw · 01/05/2020 18:19

The other thread has been suspended while it's looked into - too many complaints.

pussycatinboots · 01/05/2020 18:20

I may have overdone it with suggesting ant or dec had a tiny penis.

ArriettyJones · 01/05/2020 18:21

I blame lockdown boredom Smile

Well she did say “less exciting”, so you might conceivably feel that that fits the description Grin

LEELULUMPKIN · 01/05/2020 18:23

He's like shit in a field.

Mallomarsh · 01/05/2020 18:25

Why are threads suspended? I don't know why

Mallomarsh · 01/05/2020 18:26

Do you think MN are in cahoots with Dan wootton and Dan Baldwin Grin

ArriettyJones · 01/05/2020 18:27

Legal reasons, in this case. Not sure what they’re looking into.

ChandlerIsTheBestFriend · 01/05/2020 18:27

Why are threads suspended?

PS PR team at work.

ArriettyJones · 01/05/2020 18:28

It did seem like a couple of shills arrived together a few minutes in. Maybe a google alert went off somewhere. Then complaints were made?

Wishforsnow · 01/05/2020 18:28

I'm suprised so many people reported a thread about Ant and Dec. Why would anyone care enough to bother

thequeenbeyondthewall · 01/05/2020 18:29

I don't mind him tbh.

I was shocked when he came out. I really didn't have any idea.

Mallomarsh · 01/05/2020 18:32

Ok so if we were talking about Katie price who doesn't have the media backing no one would care and nothing would be suspended.

This is how PS, HW, ant and Dec can get away with anything

Dita73 · 01/05/2020 18:32

Holly’s starting to really wind me up. When they phone people and wait for them to answer and she stands there doing a little dance with this stupid look on her face! Drives me nuts! 😡😡😡

FiveOutOfFiveGoldblums · 01/05/2020 18:34

What did I miss?!
Quick! before this thread goes poof - why did Lisa deserve every penny aside from him having an affair and having addictions (hence the exclusive to the Sun to preempt other stories)

ArriettyJones · 01/05/2020 18:38

It’s fair to say Katie Price threads stay up, or at least stay up longer.

Madeleine McCann used to be a verboten subject (thanks Carter Ruck) but that eased a bit after the Netflix documentary (which ultimately was supportive of the McCann family).

Beckham threads vanish fast.

IShitGlitter · 01/05/2020 18:38

This is juicy!

ArriettyJones · 01/05/2020 18:40

I don’t blame MNHQ for wanting to avoid litigation, BTW. But I’m partial to a good gossip too 🤷🏽‍♀️

googlepoodle · 01/05/2020 18:40

Thread been deleted - was the gossip on ant and dec.
There was a story last week that PS was moving out of the marital home to a flat in London - probably because he knew lockdown would put an end to his independent life .

FiveOutOfFiveGoldblums · 01/05/2020 18:42

Yes I missed deleted thread - what was the goss in a nutshell?

EngagedAgain · 01/05/2020 18:45

ArriettyJones · 01/05/2020 18:47

I’d love to tell you but I was the OP of the thread so I’m probably in trouble already.

boomchikawowwow · 01/05/2020 18:48

Aw man. I went away to eat tea and planned on reading the Ant and Dec thread afterwards. Now I've missed it!!
