It’s just quite odd…all this with Philip Schofield, then Alison Hammond was brought in, talk of blackmail in the news and she’s not on this week anymore…what on earth goes on over there 🤷🏻‍♀️

@GonnaGetGoingReturns I like Stephs Packed Lunch

It gets my vote, the right mix of serious topics and fun stuff. 😁

JenniferBooth · 03/04/2023 23:10

@Northernsouloldies Exactly and they have a diverse selection of people on there and topics that they discuss.

Just read his Instagram statement.. it is very confusing 🤔 Did he not state that he had been informed and said this must never happen again? That bit was literally on itv news a few days ago but his statement is claiming he only just found out about it all this week. I feel bad for his elderly mum in all this 🤦🏼‍♀️

OneFrenchEgg · 03/04/2023 23:22

Where is it @DarlingG ? I can't see anything on his Insta?

DarlingG · 04/04/2023 00:11

@OneFrenchEgg it’s still there, it’s on his story

OneFrenchEgg · 04/04/2023 02:53

Oh, thank you! I was looking in the main posts.

WildFlowerBees · 04/04/2023 05:12

The PR cogs are turning, now it's PS and his hidden pain. Will this man ever go away?

ImAvingOops · 04/04/2023 07:20

Just seen the Daily Mail story on how PS hid his pain. Yep, it's all about you Phil Hmm

Inkanta · 04/04/2023 07:31

Yes, and not even reported on the BBC. Nothing. Either all about Phillip Schofield in symathetic terms or not reported

lollipoprainbow · 04/04/2023 08:14

Apparently this morning are desperate to have him back. He certainly has some hold there. Let's hope we don't have to endure a cringeworthy coming back to work scene with holly holding him on the sofa.

lovescats3 · 04/04/2023 08:21

Put Ruth and rylan on it instead, both are better presenters and more in touch with the real world

lovescats3 · 04/04/2023 08:22

Dermot is good as well, Alison can be funny

Mamamia7962 · 04/04/2023 08:22

DarlingG - PS claims that his brother told him it happened a year ago when the boy was 16, so legal age and that it happened just the once, but it actually started when the boy was younger, I think this is what PS is referring to.

Maybe she'll read out a statement from him and everyone will applaud how stunning and brave he is.

Surely if his brother is similar age to him (60ish) then there’s something far wrong with that happening with a 16 year old, especially if he was in a position of power at the time. I’m guessing that’s the angle they’re going to take to try and play down that he knew about it all though

I cannot actually believe they’ll let him back on tv, how messed up it is

Did Holly even wish him a happy birthday on Saturday?

@GrandTheftWalrus I don’t think so

It’s just been discussed on Gb news apparently, there’s so much they’re not allowed to say for legal reasons
What is there to hide?
Rylan seems to have been putting out some interesting tweets too. He seems so lovely

All those people on twitter saying that 18 is an adult, and therefore it's okay for them to be having sex with someone who is in their 50s, I wonder if they'd be happy if it was their18 year old kids.

Having the legal right doesn't mean something is right.

On a Facebook post some people were saying it was homophobic to say a ‘relationship’ between them ‘isn’t right’ because they’re both over 16 so the only issue anyone could actually have with it is that they’re gay.

ImAvingOops · 05/04/2023 07:41

Which is ridiculous because the majority of people wouldn't want their teenage children in heterosexual relationships with 50 year olds either!

Freysimo · 05/04/2023 07:48

rainbowstardrops · 03/04/2023 18:08

Absolutely @MeinKraft!

I very much doubt in reality he will disown him.

Of course he won't disown him in private. I expect brother could dish a lot of dirt on PS.

Mamamia7962 · 05/04/2023 07:50

DarlingG - PS brother is 54 I think, and although morally wrong, 16 is the legal age of consent.

We now know that it started when the boy was under age, but whether PS knew this we will never find out. Only PS and his brother know what was said during the conversation.

CheerstoUs · 05/04/2023 11:22

@Roussette that video is just weird and bizarrely edited. Not sure what that is supposed to prove tbh. The only bit that looks a bit odd (which I've seen before) is the bit at the beginning with the YouTuber and the party popper. Yes, it is a bit strange for a man in his 50's to be out socialising with a young teen. He does look particularly young there, but not sure if it's just the video/lighting.
