My first post, but I've been following this for a while. What do people think Simon Schofield's part is in all this? Is he related to PS? He's known PS since he was a young lad too and also knows MM since he was 10/11 via the 2 Faced Theatre co which SS is director of (still listed as active on Endole). SS seems very close to PS and MM, has clearly benefitted from appearances on ITV shows and contract to perform on cruise ships (PS was first brand ambassador for Princess which is same company as Cunard and Carnival). PS has also toured in SS's (he runs Sico Entertainment) production The Knights Music and is/was patron of 2 Faced Theatre (he was mentioned as being "in association with Phillip Schofield..." on posters advertising their summer workshops for youngsters as far back as 2010). SS made his first West End debut as Oliver at age of 12. He acted with PS in Dr Doolittle in 2001 when he was about 17yo (though looks about 12!) Not sure whether they knew each other before this? PS has been very keen to help his career.
...and who else wonders at PS's judgment over his friendship and what seemed like defence of JS (interviews on TM with victims families in Oct 2012) when the allegations started emerging and the tribute PS paid to him after his death (even though more allegations coming to light?) thanking him for his help in his early career. JS was a regular on Cunard and was on inaugural round Britain voyage on new QE2 with PS and SS (latter's band was performing). Cunard made headlines over planned tribute to JS after his death, but cancelled it after outcry.
While may be just circumstantial connections and genuine friendships made in a close-knit industry.
It's clear from the early pics and ongoing Tweets that friendships were made and have continued but it does beg the question about whether it's right for a much older man like PS, who is in a position of influence, to have such friendships and also why. We can see how the lads may have benefitted from it career-wise, but what's in it for Phil?
