Hmmm

Interesting

Waiting for the thread police to drop by and tell OP for starting yet another thread. Even though they could just scroll by and not bother opening it.

Anyway OP, they must have known. As did the co presenter.

Everyone knew (slight exageration obvs), they think the public must be stupid to believe all the denials

Holly is particularly deluded if she thinks she's fooling anyone

You have to ask yourself why Holly and co have gone ballistic over what, apparently, was just a fling with a 20-year-old man.

I think there's a lot we aren't being told.

People have been chatting on and off about this since then but then didn’t Phil come out re being gay and it was sort of forgotten about.

I'm with Rupert Everett on this one.

Man cheating on wife with younger model, tale as old as time, move along, nothing to see.

Absolutely.

Coming out bought him a couple of years.

Chickens now coming home to roost.

If there was ‘nothing to see here’, then why has Holly completely and utterly washed her hands of him?

Of course they all knew. What's even more telling is that PS knew a child was being abused by his brother and did nothing for six months. Nothing. He said so in his brothers court case. He never reported him.

The media are the ones who won't let it go. That shows that they are itching to release information but can't atm.

3 years ago after Phil came out people were talking about the rumours in more detail. This is just one thread. If you do an advanced search there are many more.
Some people even said they emailed ITV about it.

Yes there was loads of gossip about this when PS came out in 2019. Remember it well. Everyone said that he was forced to come out because his affair with the runner was about to be made public.

Could be because there are more unsavoury details to come or could simply be because it's a massive news story and she's trying to protect her image.

Because he appeared to be evasive and not honest when questioned by ITV and his agent about the relationship in the first place, the elephant in the room is now possibly when it started and therefore, what age was the third party?

There has been so much murk in the business in recent years, the TV companies clearly want to be seen as distancing themselves from any potential taint of impropriety - and that includes his former ‘best friend’ Holly.

Because she'd climb over the corpse of her cold dead grandmother to stay in the squeaky clean limelight. She was happy enough to be his wingman for decades but is now looking after number 1.

And whilst I don't think Schofield should be persecuted by social media tricoteuses, I do think he should probably be investigated and prosecuted if necessary for grooming a teenager.

Man grooming a child (allegedly) more like

I'm thinking the same
