He's off This Morning with no explanation this week.

The story broke about husband brother yesterday.

And the story's not even appearing on any online news outlet front page of articles today.

We see you

I’m not a fan but what his brother has done has nothing to do with him. Maybe he just needed time off to cope with it all. No point anyone hounding the bloke.

finalwhistle · 28/03/2023 07:39

There was an exact same thread on this yesterday.

Sux2buthen · 28/03/2023 07:39

@finalwhistle was just going to say that. The same thread Hmm

Crumpetdisappointment · 28/03/2023 07:50

confusing
husband brother?
what story?

OhmygodDont · 28/03/2023 07:56

Well I mean his was told about what his brother was upto and didn’t think to maybe act on that so morally corrupt but we knew that anyway 😅

Guess his avoiding work so as to not get asked some fun questions.

CampervanKween · 28/03/2023 07:58

Crumpetdisappointment · 28/03/2023 08:00

It's fairly clear where he is surely? He may well be called as a witness.

That’s not what I’ve read at all. I read that his brother told him and he made a statement to the police. If I’m wrong, then obviously I’m wrong. That’s what I’ve read in various news articles online.

Throwaway1066 · 28/03/2023 08:12

I’m sure this will get deleted like the last one. It’s a shame because one day, when it all comes out, it would be good to look back and be able to say we tried to talk about it, he didn’t fool everyone.

Lampzade · 28/03/2023 08:13

The brother is on trial atm. The thread should be deleted

PritiPatelsMaker · 28/03/2023 08:18

Supporting his brother at the trial?

''The brother is on trial atm. The thread should be deleted''

I read this story in the Mail today (wasn't aware of it before) so I don't see why this should be deleted...

Since it is a public story now.

Whether he knew or not and covered it up should potentially come out in the trial.

WhoStoleMyTiddyOggy · 28/03/2023 08:21

He's probably a witness in court since his db told him about it.

I wouldn’t be supporting anyone knows has admitted to abusing children

waterlego · 28/03/2023 08:22

Yesterday’s thread was deleted and I imagine this one will be too.

The problem with discussing a trial which is currently taking place is that social media discussion and speculation can jeopardise the trial which would be really awful for the alleged victim.

Xrays · 28/03/2023 08:23

The articles I’ve read say the statement he’s given police have formed part of the case against the brother, not supporting him.

That's true. Not being able to convict due to social media activity would be catastrophic. Mnet used to be hot on this stuff.

Exactly''

Again, the story is already out in the papers.

Absolutely no point in deleted a thread on a forum in that context...

Tirrrrred · 28/03/2023 08:56

We can't compare Philip to a pedophile though. If the rumours about the runner are true I don't think he was a child? He was at least working age?
