This really. Haven't read anything first hand about him - just going by comments online

Ah ok thanks - makes sense - I only knew things from Tweets etc but now I've read the actual story makes sense he'll be back. Must admit I don't actually dislike him - I think he's got a very good presenting style and still looks very presentable - no weight gain over the years etc etc

Glancing at Tweets is not a way to find stuff out.

at least this is less dramatic than the last "heard on SM" post! 😂

I never realised how many MN posters were obsessed with This Morning until this week when a new thread pops up every day! I feel like I’m missing out..

I really don't get the hate on MN for PS. There's no evidence he has done most of the things MN claim he has.

No evidence?????? You need to do some reading!

PrettyMaybug · 29/03/2023 19:17

ANOTHER Phil Schofield hating thread. One was deleted earlier today.

OhBeAFineGuyKissMe · 29/03/2023 19:17

He knew his brother had assaulted a child, and possibly was ongoing, and did NOTHING. Well, he told his brother to stop.

Doing nothing is not a neutral act, it allows abuse to continue. This is not the same as being a neutral witness.

Yesthatismychildsigh · 29/03/2023 19:18

I don’t watch that vacuous shit, but I sincerely hope he never returns to tv again. I can’t think of anyone that doesn’t loathe him.

Porkandbeans1 · 29/03/2023 19:28

Well I should hope this is the end of his career. His brother told him about the abuse and he didn't report him.

There also plenty of rumours about him and Matthew McGreevy that haven't just disappeared.

Gallathea · 29/03/2023 19:30

I hope not

AnneShirleysNewDress · 29/03/2023 19:42

When an adult tells you they have sexually abused a child you report them to the police. He chose not to.

winningeasy · 29/03/2023 20:06

He's paedo

sugarspices · 29/03/2023 18:42

I'm happy to be corrected but from the article I've just read it looks like his brother confessed to him that he'd performed a sex act with a schoolboy and Phillip didn't report it to the police. He gave a statement once his brother was arrested.

Of this is true then that is indefensible. But I will reserve judgement until I hear the facts from a reliable source.

GrandTheftWalrus · 29/03/2023 22:49

Hope not.

Greenfairydust · 29/03/2023 22:53

I had nothing against him but I was absolutely appalled to read that according to what was said in court his brother told him what he had done and he simply told him not to do it again.

He should have reported his sibling at the time to the police.

Thankfully a mental health professional reported his brother to the police soon after.

I do hope he faces the consequences of failing to speak out. More kids could have been affected because of his silence.

@freckles20 the BBC have been reporting it all day

Philip Schofield's brother 'admitted sex acts with teen' to TV star www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-65114533

SchoolTripDrama · 29/03/2023 23:09

@BDlow Wow you sound excruciatingly shallow OP, based on your comments on here

SupplyIsLimited · 29/03/2023 23:13

Well, at least he's stayed thin... 🙄 But based on the Matthew McGreevy thing, maybe the reason he didn't feel he could report his brother's illegal behaviour is that he's been guilty of the same. The pot and the kettle! Mustn't be a hypocrite, you know.

OkImListening · 29/03/2023 23:21

JoandLily · 29/03/2023 11:11

Hope not, can't stand him

I second that. So up his own arse, it's unbelievable.

Doyoumind · 29/03/2023 23:33

I would be appalled if they have him back. He's admitted he knew his brother was abusing a boy and he took no action to intervene.

Punkyspunky · 29/03/2023 23:34

I was surprised that he didn’t reach out for help on the safeguarding angle from someone in his management team. This was never going to go under the radar.

Ugh, that does sound indefensible. I've never had a particular opinion wrt PS in the past but given what he does appear to have done (or not done) he cannot now be the face of daytime TV.

He may defend his actions as those of a loving brother who was scared about his sibling's state of mind. But it's absolutely not ok.

OnTheRunWithMannyMontana · 29/03/2023 23:57

No weight gain over the years?????

Jesus fucking Christ. If that's the standards you are holding people to then god help us all.

winningeasy · 30/03/2023 06:24

He's protected a paedo and he groomed a boy from 12 who he had a relationship with around the time he came out - all reported in mainstream press

Not sure why he's still in the job

Goodread1 · 30/03/2023 06:32

Hope Not

Wish he would dispear somewhere 🙄 preferably I would hardly see 👀 him again

Be lovely if he emigrated on a permanent basis

CurrentHun · 30/03/2023 07:03

I find the news reporting of Philip Schofield’s own account of it awful ‘Don’t tell me! don’t tell me!’ Not the human reaction of someone caring about hearing of harm against a vulnerable child. Self interested definitely.

Absolutely this. We all know that safeguarding children is everyone's responsibility - he knew of abuse, and did nothing. Disgusting.
