The thing with Phillip is that he is having his punishment (better late than never) and it doesn’t seem like many others have come forward which is usually the case with repeat offenders.
He obviously hid it because it was inappropriate and he was embarrassed by the age gap and so he should be especially as he was in a position of power.
I think ITV is equally to blame they knew and did nothing this is just my opinion but I think they wanted a shake up and wanted him out and this was the perfect excuse the channel has had an agenda for quite some time and as a white older man Phillip didn’t fit in with their new aesthetic so they acted on something that they’ve known about for years but they should have sorted it as soon as they became aware of the situation.
The thing with creepy is that he hasn’t been punished he’s still making a living online and living it large and that’s what is nauseating, he didn’t protect his victims in any way even though he was a repeat offender and had used his online popularity to use a few young impressionable girls YouTube have let him carry on with no repercussions and that’s plain wrong
