Why can Phillip Schofield live in two different properties during lockdown?

[Skybluepink123]

Just read that PS, who had moved into a London flat, has travelled back to the family home for a game of Murder Mystery. Why do so many celebrities feel lockdown doesn’t apply to them?

[KingJarvis]

PS is a Tory though so i expected it

All the people I know who are breaking lockdown are Labour voters.

It’s to be expected though...

[ProfessorFrockdown]

I couldn't get worked up about someone I last heard of in about 1985 doing this.

I'm breaking the lockdown on a regular basis, but I didn't vote Conservative in the last election (for the first time ever) due to Brexit.

So I'm not sure many of the political equations hold much water.

[lilgreen]

Because he’s been a brave boy.

[avroroad]

I never really I understood the 'moving out' thing. He has had a flat in London that he stayed in during the week for YEARS.

[MamaGee09]

A full thread full of nasty, bitchy and spiteful comments.

Good old mumsnet at its best!

She has to play at happy families with her children, pretending she's absolutely fine with his behaviour, at the same time sending her daughters a message that it's perfectly fine to be treated like shit by a man, his needs must come first

What an odd observation @Soontobe60.

1 She doesn't have to do anything.
2 She can leave if she wants to- there is such a thing now as divorce.
3 The only message she is sending her daughter (just her daughter?) is that she is happy to live a lie or maybe not want to be on her own and therefore put up with his behaviour.

All it shows to me is she is completely unassertive OR her love is unconditional so that whatever the public may think, she is happy to be with him on his terms.

If she isn't, there is way out. it's call divorce.

[lilgreen]

Yes I really wish PS had been kind @MamaGee09

[MamaGee09]

@lilgreen

Look how nasty people he doesn’t even know are on here, can you imagine how petrified of telling everyone how he actually felt , can you imagine loving in a time where being gay isn’t accepted...cause it’s still happening to people today and the vile crap on this thread just shows why some people’s try to carry on with what’s seen as normality,

I don’t read trashy papers and I certainly don’t believe everything I read online, no one knows what goes on behind closed doors.

It’s not for you or I or anyone else to judge!

[EnthusiasmIsDisturbed]

I don’t understand why the show is on at the moment. ITV could show repeats of the thousands of shows the have. It’s irrelevant TV I’m sure they would get better ratings repeating a good series

As for the obesity issue if your bmi is 40+ it’s puts you in a higher risk category should you contract covid (we list all our patients low, medium, high)

[Pinkarsedfly]

I think being gay in the 1980s/1990s in the UK entertainment industry was probably as good as it gets in terms of acceptance, tbh.

DH knew about him years ago. PS was very close to Jason Donovan back in the day. Extremely good friends.

[Skybluepink123]

*MamaGee09 I’m quite capable of being kind. I have no desire or intention of discussing the private life of PS other than to feel aggrieved that he has resided in two separate properties during lockdown which does flout the rules. None of us can be certain whether he has permanently moved out but, either way, he has stayed in different places and that doesn’t set a good example for someone in the public eye.

[Sparklingbrook]

From his social media today

[Goatymcgoaty]

@Pinkarsedfly oh no just when I thought life couldn’t get any worse..... I can’t bear Jason to be the next sad confessional face. Surely not, he dated Kylie? That just cannot have been a ruse....

[HavartitoMeetYou]

Is there some kind of bug or am I seeing things? Half the posts on this thread are about PS and the other half about obesity?

[FreakStar]

@Skybluepink123 There is no rule that says you can't reside in two different properties. you have just decided that that is the rule. People were asked not to go to visit holiday homes- that's not the same as having two properties. Do you expect people who work in London in the week and have a flat there for that purpose to not return to their families at weekends, or do you expect them to travel to London each day rather than stay over in their nearby property? MPs for example?

[okiedokieme]

I went to my family home, saw my young adult kids, picked up some things I had still there then went to my new home - it's not actually unreasonable because we live complex lives (won't say my reasons as outing but I spoke to police ahead of travelling who confirmed that it was an essential journey and I wouldn't be fined).

[Pinkarsedfly]

Goatymcgoaty I’m sure it was all good clean fun. From what I’ve heard it was all a bit of a free-for-all backstage, back in the day.

[namechangetheworld]

Off topic, but do people on here honestly believe that his wife didn't know that he was gay? It's embarrassingly obvious that they had an arrangement in place i.e. she keeps her mouth shut and gets to keep her lifestyle.

[Sparklingbrook]

I read that Mrs S has been seeing someone else for years, but it's all speculation.
Whatever the arrangement they all seem happy with it and it's not news to them.

[HeIenaDove]

Good old mumsnet at its best!

#bekind



Trouble with #BeKind is that ITV seem to think it only works one way TOWARDS them. It isnt reciprocal!

a. The Loose Women "interview" with Kim Woodburn.

b. Re. The Jeremy Kyle show , a contestant took their own life. Yes that show was the very epitome of kindness.

c. The Covid/obesity segment on This Morning this week may have been a bit more legit if there hadnt been that Steve prick on there who piped up "I will live with three fat people for some weeks and i gurantee they will lose weight.

Yeah im fucking damn sure he isnt after a reality show of his own

Yet when anyone speaks out about the behaviour of any of their stars the #BeKind trope is trotted out to emotionally blackmail people into shutting up.

Its fucking hypocritical. And thats what a lot of people get pissed off about...........the hypocrisy.

[Skybluepink123]

Actually Freakstar I’ve haven’t just decided it’s the rule. If you took the time to check the Gov.uk website you’ll see that people must remain in their primary residence and not to have unnecessary travel.

[avroroad]

But his London place is where he lives when he is working, which ultimately reduces unnecessary travel.

[Skybluepink123]

PS doesn’t usually live in his London flat but either way he’s been travelling between two properties (during lockdown) which isn’t necessary. It’s hypocritical at the least.

[Sparklingbrook]

Oh so it’s the unnecessary travel that is the problem now?

[burnoutbabe]

surely this is no different to a key worker staying in a hotel near work during the week and returning home at weekend.
