I've been with you since Thread 1 (the titles alone have been incredible), but this is the first time I've posted. My friend has had an update from her friend who works on another daytime ITV show and it seems that where we've got to is pretty much what the talk is around ITV too, suggesting we're not far off the mark!
So the source said:
Phil does have a separate home in London for his 2nd life. The source had heard this years ago (and about Holly and the rest of the James Grant management posse all being coke heads) but hadn't wanted to beliive it as they've always wanted to like Phil and Holly.
Matt McGreevy was a runner at This Morning but wanted to move onto other things. Phil didn't want this as he seemed to really like Matt, so requested Matt to be his Personal Assistant AND a runner, and made it so that Matt worked on every show Phil worked on. (The source also said that Matt strutted about like he owned the place after this)
Matt and Phil had a secret relationship. The source doesn't know what then happened but the talk around ITV is that Matt got screwed over (!) and he decided to sell his story. Which then got shelves when Phil found out and agreed to do a 'Tell All' exclusive instead.
On the day of Phil's announcement, someone in the source's team, asked Matt what he knew about Phil and he said "I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT" and then not long after his name started to get out and so his boss at Loose Women gave him time off as he started being hounded by press and everyone he comes into contact with
AND...Phil's been grooming 15 year old boys and giving out his personal email address to them, offering them work experience on This Morning which she stated no other celebs she's worked with would EVER do.
The Source also said that it's well known that Dan Wootten hates Phil, and that the support is just for show.
The talk at ITV is that now they expect his lovers to all try and sell stories but they aren't sure what NDAs would have been signed by Phil's lovers or what injunction Phil has got as, like us, they can't work out why no press are reporting on the rumours
And that's all! I do think the sad Caroline Flack news may mean this all takes longer to come out as the press will be warned about not 'hounding' Phil or anyone else on this topic. And I agree with that, but I strongly believe that the truth needs to come out on this one.
it’s like when child abusers get boxed in with shapeshifting lizard royals and the entire thing becomes a joke when, in fact, there were truthful elements. I do understand BUT if you look at the Dando case, there’s quite a bit linking her to a Savile Investigation. So whilst I understand what you’re saying, I put nothing past paedophile networks....much of it is beyond our capabilities because we are not that wicked.
