Phillip Schofield

[LLJ]

Exactly this!! How selfish of him to marry someone and have children knowing he was gay!

This must happen to lots of men! Maybe he got swept up in being famous when being were not openly gay.

 

[Jelly Bean]

When Ruth and Eamon present I feel it's fairly equal. When Pip and Squeal present how come he asks all the hard hitting questions and takes the lead in the interview?

Its actually makes me dislike Holly (even more) as why doesn't she stand up for herself and fulfill her role as joint presenter!?

Pip and Holly have the same dynamic sort of as Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid. Just an attractive foil to sit there and react/giggle. Incredibly depressing when you think about it.

 

[Dizzy]

So I think the general consensus is:

1. No one, literally NO ONE is surprised he's gay.
2. The way he chose to come out was unnecessarily dramatic as fuck.
3. Yes, the timing is suspicious..
4. In no way does this change the fact he's an enormous prick.

Perfectly summed up!

He’s done an interview in the sun today! (Sunday)

 

[Lilmack]

My sister was in the audience for celeb juice a few years ago and said Ferne was absolutely lovely but Holly was a stuck up bitch who just sat downing glasses of wine.

Ferne and her used to be best friends but you never hear of them together or talking anymore... I think its because Holly turned into a bitch once she got on TM. Did she ditch Ferne for Phil or did Ferne walk away from the friendship?

 

[Pinko]

Katie Price hates him

Knowing Katie, if this was the case she would have published this ages ago in one of her many autobiographies!!

sorry to be a bit off topic for this thread, but when I looked at the James Grant Management roster of tv clients, it made me wonder how anyone who isn't managed by JG gets an on screen job on ITV. They seem to dominate it which is why every new programme is presented by the same old faces. I imagine it is difficult for applicants to be taken on as a client of JG, so it is a bit like a closed shop. I admit I know nothing of how the television industry operates. I was annoyed to see nepotism in the form of one of the Schofield girls getting a good job with JM. As I said, sorry to be offtopic.

Exactly! And I don't think it's off topic. JGM have way too much fucking power especially when it comes to their ability to cover the nasty stuff up or at least sanistising what the public, who make them very wealthy, get to hear.

 

[Chinwag]

Well safe to say if its The Sun that’s got the only interview then it was them that was going to out him

Yes exactly. Dan Wootton springs straight to mind!

 

[Petty]

Right so forgive me if this has been mentioned.

I personally think his wife knew from day one and that they had some agreement ect.
My first things that's made me think is his daughters and his wife do not share his surname?

 

[LunaArthur]

Well!!!! Monday’s This Morning will be a must watch then!!

 

[coconochanel]

Ruth's face said it all IMO. They need to get rid of Phil and Holly the pair of fakers and bring back Richard Madaley and Fern Britton.

 

[Chinwag]

Story in the papers won’t add up with everything else because it will just be more lies to make himself look how he wants.

 

[Lars Guinard]

Well... great... I’m pleased?

I more meant the beard/monkey suit inference sounds like it’s written by someone who knows him, or knows news is about to break in light of PS’s statement yesterday.

I thought the timing was suspect. To sign up just to put that post up seems odd too.

Hang on...are you Dr Ranj?

Also, Dr Ranj was married to a woman for 5 years before coming out...remember when it is was revealed when he did strictly.

 

[bubbletea123]

I watched the interview. I think him being closeted caused him a lot of issues and perhaps he took it out on others. Good for him coming out. He said there were no secrets with his wife. I think she has probably known for a very long time, as well as some coworkers. I bet he feels a huge relief.

 

[Macadelic]

This is awful. So many young people take out large student loans to study relevant media courses and they either don't get an opportunity, or they've got to work as a jumped up office junior and probably don't get much further than that. Has anyone noticed that celebrities' kids always want to be on tv, film industry or a model. I'd shake the hand of any of them who qualified as a nurse, teacher or ambulance driver.

I graduated in 2015 with a media degree and I can confirm the only people from that course that work within the media industry got there jobs because of a family member already working for the company.

 

[Youtubegossip]

The rumours of their being more to his friendship with Holly must have totally suited him too.... sad life to lead all the same pretending to be someone you are not.

Had to have been an open secret to his friends and family including his wife, was only the General public didn’t know?

Also he is in an industry where there is much more acceptance and has been for years so why now?

I bet ant and dec and all that little gang would have known

To be fair, 10 - 15 years ago would have been catastrophic for his girls during their teenage years! I’d like to think he waited til they were grown adults so that they could process it better/more easily

I'd like to agree with you but Philip has done whats best for Philip

 

[Youtubegossip]

He has got a podcast/youtube/influencer career though

Is it just me who’s hoping if true he spills the tea

 

[Suzesnooze]

I’ve always said I think one of ant and Dec are gay...
also heard a lot of things about Cowell being gay too.

shame they can’t just be who they are if so

I've always thought Simon was gay and find it odd he remains best friends with all of his ex girlfriends. They were probably on Contract!

 

[Pumps]

I immediately assumed Schofield decided to publicly come out in order the deflect from the increasingly bad press. Surely his sexuality has been a one of those showbiz open secrets for years? Like someone said earlier, it has had the desired effect because there's been nothing but an outpouring of love for him.
Nicely done, Phil
I've never liked him. Always thought he had a mean streak

I wasn't sticking up for him ,I was using him as an example of a good guy gone bad without proof of any wrong doing

He was and still is deliberately evasive about the events that took place at his home that morning, that's his wrong doing.
