So says Rylan Clark

He claims some people in the industry aren’t nice and polite, like they portray themselves to be and behind the scenes they treat people badly…that people are starting to see through it now and all will be revealed…

@MattTebbuttsDenimShirt What do you mean his wife wasn’t a beard?

They mean his wife wasn't a cover for him being gay (sometimes call a "beard") it was a genuine marriage

ClaraBourne · 11/05/2023 00:18

@Biggestpizzaiveeverseenjesus in that she went into the marriage in good faith, believed he was straight and loved her and fancied her as a woman.

Biggestpizzaiveeverseenjesus · 11/05/2023 00:19

@ClaraBourne Did she though? Or was it an arrangement?

@Martinio I know what a beard is, but assumed she was and was complicit in it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Oh I thought she didn't know 🤔 but maybe she did!

Biggestpizzaiveeverseenjesus · 11/05/2023 00:24

Yes, I wonder why Holly would stay with him? She’s obviously got lots of money herself, can’t all be just for her career surely?
What was the interesting point about the car stolen story and Ant & Dec etc? I don’t understand what the point is in saying bits but not explaining 🤷🏻‍♀️

OP posts:
Biggestpizzaiveeverseenjesus · 11/05/2023 00:26

@Martinio Obviously can’t say for sure, but didn’t loads of celebs say it was an open secret for years, talk of him years ago on Spitting image with a certain singer

I don't believe she did, hence the years of trying not to be outed. Most beards don't stay together for 20 odd years and raise children together. It's an arrangement to suit two people. Mrs Schofield gained nothing.

Biggestpizzaiveeverseenjesus · 11/05/2023 00:29

@MattTebbuttsDenimShirt Yes, perhaps not, truly awful if not

I know rylan, ish. He's a good friend of a good friend's husband. He has always been lovely to me!

ClaraBourne · 11/05/2023 00:31

@Biggestpizzaiveeverseenjesus what, a life of sex just for procreation with Philip Schofield, his Gofer and attendance at some C celeb events? Zero charisma too.

Is a Beard a lifestyle choice? Surely it was just a outdated thing when being Gay was a no.

An open secret at work is completely different to a home life.

That's why he didn't want Amanda, he called her a loose cannon (when Holly stood in for Any on IAC).

Amanda got arsey and then started spouting the truth will out. Then Rylan was sacked. Ruth and Eamonn turned frosty...

Oh yes open secret, but his wife was not a beard.

Biggestpizzaiveeverseenjesus · 11/05/2023 00:32

@ClaraBourne Ive no idea at all

You wouldn't put two older teenage daughters through it.

Surely the car theft story has to be made up. The police stopped investigating thefts and burglaries years ago did they not? Do they not just always say they don't have the resources?

It's not really. People couldn't put up with his lies.

Paul O'Grady married a lesbian who has admitted she was a beard for him. I assume it was with her that he had a child. He always talked fondly of his grandchildren. So they made it work. PS is not far off the same age with all the prejudice in the 80s it's easy to see why.

Plenty of men out there living a lie in an unhappy marriage whether they be gay or straight. Same goes for women. Hence - eternally single 🤣

Are you sure this isn't about Rylan's appearance on The Archers?

Can't wait to hear Rylan take down two-faced George Grundy Grin

So looking forward to it

Love you Lynda Wink though I do not approve of you favouring Rylan over Adil!

Is he going to spill the beans?

I haven't worked with any of them 😄 but I did meet Ant and Dec (very handsome and polished in rl), they were busy but made time for a photo. I hope there's no bad shit about them.

SinisterBumFacedCat · 11/05/2023 01:01

I did feel sorry for PS wife when he said his wedding day was the worst day of his life. Presume she didn’t know at the time.

Biggestpizzaiveeverseenjesus · 11/05/2023 01:01

But what are the beans to spill?
