Phillip Schofield #20 Big Ben and booing, an award despite not queuing

[ChastityDingle]

If ITV don't get rid of him then surely to god people will boycott? Right?!

I don't watch This Morning but I hope viewers switch off bigtime if he is allowed to saunter back in as though nothing happened.

Just imagine him snapping and snarling at someone on the programme if they were the ones who had done even half of what he has done, including enabling his brother's behaviour.

I honestly think he will saunter back in, for some reason the media keep inflicting these people on us despite knowing that we'd all be happy to never see them again, just look at katie price, drug driving, animal abusing, scummy mummy, revenge porn perpetrator, blackmailer....and yet she still gets coverage. I just have no hope that anything will come out about him until he's dead.

 

[Goldilocks3108]

From Phil’s statement to police:

Describing the distance between the siblings, he said: 'I don't have a relationship with Tim like a brother because there are seven years between us and I moved away when he was 10.”

liar

Didn5 he take some time off a few years ago “because his brother was ill”?

 

[Pulltheotherone]

How can he sit on the sofa and discuss certain issues anymore though ?
Grooming is a topic which sadly comes up regularly these days …. Are they just going to cover a grooming story on a Friday or school holidays from now on ?
It’s bloody ridiculous!

 

[givepeasachance]

If people boycott and switch off This Morning, then the message will come through in the ratings drop. And they'll know the reason why.

 

[Ambrosie]

It’s a good point that others have made about his position dealing with real life stories is surely untenable now? He can’t interview any sexual abuse victims or anyone who’s been groomed. If he wasn’t such an egotistical wanker he’d just resign.

Apologies, @Pulltheotherone has said something very similar above

I actually have a vivid memory of him thanking the nhs on this morning for the care they gave his brother and how they saved his life! He’s so fake

I'm not buying the story that they weren't close... in the original article it said they were

TV star's brother charged with child sex offences leaving celeb devastated

A TOP TV star was distraught last night after his brother was charged with child sex offences. The accused man, in his 50s, was remanded to prison this week ahead of a crown court hearing next year…

www.thesun.co.uk

" A source close to the star told The Sun: “They grew up together and are incredibly close. When he heard about the arrest, it rocked him to his core. Obviously they’re just allegations at this stage but it’s been an extremely upsetting time for the whole family.”

Super injunctions are so wrong in cases like this. I think they are ok in some circumstances. I.e. if a footballer cheats and they want to protect their children. It would then be in their best interest. But in this case it's protecting a predator. So so wrong.
I hope it somehow gets lifted.

Shouldn't be allowed. You shouldn't be allowed to cover up something as disgusting as child abuse because you have money. The whole thing stinks

 

[Kay's Good Cooking]

I am convinced that the two of them were thick as thieves (albeit less theft and more other)

Can already see that ITV’s angel is attempting to manipulate things and, by such means, come afloat as a (the) victim in all this

Odious creep

 

[da1sycha1n]

Didn't Simon Schofield used to be Matt's sister's boyfriend, or am I mis-remembering?

yes his older sister Alice she is an actress and runs her own drama college in the USA

 

[HollyGolightly]

I read that the abuse started October 2016.

I just found out from twitter that Tim's son turned 13 in October 2016

 

[Hally34]

I feel like the British public will still be more angry about the queue jumping then the not calling the police on his peodo brother.
Also really hope it all comes out what on earth he’s got on ITV bosses that they’ve are keeping him on screens. They’ve fired other people for far far less.

Didn5 he take some time off a few years ago “because his brother was ill”?

Yes he did, did a huge thank you to the NHS for saving his wonderful brother! Took time off to be with him. It’s bollocks. He’s just trying to put distance between them.

if you weren't guilty you wouldn't cover your head with your jacket like his Sibling does
you wouldn't go into hiding by taking time off work if you had nothing hide eh Philth!

And yet he was close enough to his brother that he could tell him what he had been up to

 

[Pinkpeonies]

The only reason I can think ITV hasn’t suspended or replaced him already is because if they can prove gross misconduct via reputation or criminal activity etc then they can sack him. I imagine there’s an enormous payout under other circumstances which they’d want to avoid.

That’s what I hope anyway rather than them wanting to keep him on. Time will tell I suppose.

 

[Salacious]

I hope this is the end.

Something poetic if indeed Joel or someone else takes over given the way he nabbed the job (and acted like the big cheese) when John Leslie got the boot.

 

[HollyGolightly]

Was Phil's brother involved in the running of the Theatre club that Phil was involved with? The one where there's a photo of a very young Matthew McCready in a group of kids posing with Phil. Sorry if this has already been mentioned!

I can't see any evidence that Tim was involved in that club but I found out that his wife Petra is a theatre director, and often works with children's theatre groups and schools. It looks like Tim might have had some involvement in this

 

[veevee04]

How the hell did he ever get so much work? Was he blackmailing producers? I remember watching him as a kid (off school ill) and thinking what a prick . He has no charisma , no good looks , arrogant , groomer of teenage boy and a vile individual. How has he managed to hang on for so long with zero good qualities?
