Not sure how relevant this is and tbh I think it’s old news but theirs an ITV party at a hotel tonight, I know someone at that party so have some inside talk.
Neither Phil or Holly are present it’s mainly runners/producers etc and a bit of a a schmooze event.
The word on the street is ITV knew about Phil being a pedalo and that’s why the whole gay speech on the sofa happened to diffuse the situation and deflect.
He somehow had managed to stay under the radar about it and convinced them it was just rumours etc up to that point.
He also has a super injunction out on the press that runs out in august, not confirmed whether ITV are helping fund it as the person there can’t ask too many questions other than what is being offered out but it’s a hot topic tonight.
If he doesn’t renew it then it’ll all come out then.
When the brother got convicted and it came out Phil was privy to that knowledge that’s when things turned at ITV and it was a matter of not if but when as they couldn’t protect him anymore.
Far too much shit was coming out and out of fear for looking like they were supporting this he had to go.
This is also when Holly started distancing herself and that’s when the rift started as she didn’t want to go down with the sinking ship, she wanted to save her own skin so she fucked him over.
I hope all this makes sense, it’s probably already known but I’ve just heard from the insiders there thought I’d share.
