Yes that is it - even if the relationship was entirely legal and consensual (which I presume it was) surely there was an abuse of power by PS? Not just the relationship but the fact Amanda Holden has said he had a hand in the hiring and firing of people - so his career was in Phillip's hands.I have in a former life worked in TV and started off a runner. I've never known anyone stay in a Runner's position for nearly 4 years as MM appears to have judging by his linkedin in. If you do a good job then you'll usually get promoted to Production Sec or Junior Researcher within a year.
The fact that this is being spoken out so rampantly on social media means that the This Morning team and ITV would be stupid to think that this will just blow over. Runners are so vulnerable being the lowest position, the lowest paid and in a highly competitive industry where they are often desperate to further their career and are open to being abused in many forms. In the era of #Me Too they should have been making sure they had a duty of care to all their staff.
Wait. What? How have I never heard of this?Yes but we all knew about it anyway!!
A lot of it is who you know! The majority of the people I worked with had university degrees but usually the only way to get onto the TV ladder is to take a Runner's position where you literally spend your day getting coffee and running errands and hoping that you would make a good impression on the powers that be so that they would promote you. Yes, it's hugely exciting as you are in that big shiny TV world but I can't image you'd be happy doing it for nearly 4 years on the same show. In that time you'd definitely see other runners promoted over you so there must have been something holding him back. If he was rubbish at the job surely they would have got rid of him!That does seem a long and unfortunate time to stay in a runner position when your main goal is clearly to ‘make it’ as a star in the industry.
Out of interest how easy/hard is it to get hired in the first place as a runner on a show like This Morning?
Will they hire anyone, is there a specific set of experience, skills or qualifications they are looking for and do many people apply for these roles?
I think she was, not to say forced to do so, but be a team player shall we sayMorning all, have people been up all night?
the thing that irks me is Ruth being there to comfort and support Phil on his big reveal when it was she who made the formal complaint about him.
was the complaint ever verified?
the whole thing stinks and is getting smellier by the minute
Obviously that is his video and pics but it’s a fake account. Which is odd because it’s using his name and it’s from summer last year ...
Would appear hes been on loose women since middle of 2019.
Can someone post this bottom shot? I am too old for snapchat so don’t know how to find it.See that behaviour, exposing his bottom on social media. Just why would you do that? Attention seeking and narcisisstic.
I just googled ‘Schofield snapchat bum’ and it came up...... the things I googleCan someone post this bottom shot? I am too old for snapchat so don’t know how to find it.
Hahaha omgosh look at Philip, can barely take his eyes off his elf - probably had a 'semi' all the way through that segment! What a noddy! The dude Matt, has himself down as an actor on his Insta profile , no oscar for fiddling with baubles I'm afraid...soooo cringe! UrrgghhhIf mm was fired the week before, the timing seems right. Friday interview-so he didn’t have to sit with anyone the next day and answer questions or discuss it. And all legal stuff tied up possibly before the weekend?
Cancer would do that too. Oh god, if he has cancer it will be the most sanctimonious-omg I can’t even continue with this thought. Ugh.
Omg. He was always around, wasnt he? There is no mistaking that nose either. And you see ps have a good look at him at the very start of the segment too
lt will make youCan someone post this bottom shot? I am too old for snapchat so don’t know how to find it.
Sounds like it was a rush job last Friday to make the announcement and so Eamonn and Ruth probably didn’t have much time to actually discuss their ‘reaction’ beforehand, probably just made the best of a very odd situation.What really gets me is they planned and then ladled out the ‘tears on the sofa’ confessional as if we’re complete simpletons.
Yea my eyes rolled too when Perez said that. But he may be just protecting himself, or want to be invited back to itv, whatever I do think Perez knows the truthI’ve just had a look at Perez Hilton’s site and it was very interesting his thoughts on Phillip. Basically he thinks the rumours are untrue but where I rolled my eyes, ended up saying homophobia was involved as PS was seemingly a nice guy.
My eyes not clued in yet, I misread a headline re Piers Morgan saying Phillip Schofield coming out was gusty! Very windy round these parts.
