Philip Schofield Cast Away channel 5 30th September

[Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain]

Who here will watch Philip fake cry and protest his innocence?! He did nothing wrong, did he?

Disgusts me they are giving him the time and day.

Blokes a Peadophile 🤢

His career should be finished but trust Ch5 to seek some cheap viewing figures out of people who like to watch a slow train crash.

He can bob off; I’ll not be watching the slimeball.

Channel 5 have sunk to new lows with this one!!

Not me. I am appalled that he is allowed this extreme attention seeking. He has no insight or self awareness at all.

Not if you paid me. Utterly smug, self-pitying narcissist who appears to have no empathy for his wife and daughters or understanding of why people are sickened by his grooming.

It's an insult to the victims of this kind of behaviour.

Nope won’t be watching it .
He’s a self entitled pathetic narcissistic creep!
Have never liked him .
Queue jumping at the queens funeral was enough for me to make my mind up about him.
He met his ‘lover’ when the boy was 15 years old , he said nothing happened until he turned 18 but I believe he groomed him in the 3 years between .
Not only that but he lied to his wife of 30 years and his children .
He’s no better than huw Edward’s in my eyes

I hope that it's a massive flop that has cost channel 5 a lot of money...no way will I be watching

No. I can't stand him.

I hope it hasn't cost them a lot of money. It will be lining Schofield's pocket if it has!

This quote from the Guardian enraged me this morning "it’s not an unusual thing in the gay world for there to be a difference in age groups.”

There is a BBC interview with him on the website this morning. Saying the castaway show was his last TV appeareness and he wants to be left alone. I think it’s bullshit. The media were happily leaving him alone. He is dipping is toe in TV again to see what the reaction is. I think his PR company are advising him well.

Guaranteed that this morning's Pap photos of him out with his wife are a tipoff.
He did the same with his elderly mother when the scandal broke.

Shame on him. 😠

Utter wanker. I wouldn’t give him air time

I grew very bored of him and Holly on TM, especially during lockdown as it seemed their relationship was becoming a bit fake and forced, remember the hugging through the plastic thing? Urgh.
Anyway now we know why she went off of him. Totally disturbing that he fancied a young lad, and how he claims it was unwise but not illegal. That's the only thing he has going for the situation is that it wasn't illegal!?
Anyway I might watch it purely to see what he has to say, but I don't like him and don't think he'll ever make any kind of proper come back.

Y is he being given air time, ridiculous.

The narcissism on that one is so strong it's almost funny

I saw an ad for this and it was completely nauseating. It’s definitely going to be a self-absorbed pity party for one.

I particularly love the dishevelled look he’s going with, the messy hair and stubble, all to try and sell the ‘I’m so hard done by’ line.

I wonder if he’ll acknowledge or take any responsibility for his abuse of power in his last role. Probably not.

The comparison with him and Prince Andrew is embarrassing.

I do feel a bit sorry for him to be so low he'd consider taking his own life. No, he doesn't have going for him in terms of defence, but people on this website (more other threads rather than this one) painting him as another Dave Lee Travis or Stuart Hall is typical MN hyperbole.

Also, if you really think his wife of 25 years never had an idea what he was up to is very naive.

Except it is true. You might not like it or find it palatable but it is the case hence in gay circles, you have "Daddies" (I know! <not envy).
You also have "twinks."
You have "bears" and "cubs."
There are big age gaps to be seen, including several high-profile marriages.
Stephen Fry 67 Elliott Spencer 37
Paul Gambaccini 75 Chris Sherwood 39 (the latter says he is only attracted to older males/is a gerontophile)
The late Paul O'Grady 67 was married to Andre Portasio, 26 years younger.
Even Graham Norton's spouse is 15 years younger.

So it may enrage you, but is isn't factually incorrect.

However, I still think the power dynamic and the circumstances in which they met/followed each other were dubious/ill advised to say the least.
That's before you get onto other alleged conversations with other followers, the NDA , the alleged monthly payments and the fact that the runner supposedly had issues he hadn't had prior.
A shitshow in other words.
But make no mistake - it is not wrong that he could have brought others down who were in the know. Because all of it was known to some of the press/was on fora like Tattle months before it finally came out.

Big age gaps also in heterosexual relationships.
