He should’ve taken the advice he gave to his brother.
The affair might not have been illegal, but the pre-adult contact and circumstances is pretty suspect.
Phillip schofeild isn’t a good person? Who would’ve known?
It’s happening! He’s trying to get out ahead of it but the floodgates are opening.
I very much doubt that there is a single person in the UK that finds this a shock.
Reminder that a relationship can be creepy and immoral without being illegal.
And also slight lol that every comment, including mine, is hidden.
12 comments and I can’t see any of them, oooo this is gonna be a spicy thread
Back in the mid/late 2000s, I knew two people (who don’t know each other) who knew Phillip. One worked with his brother and one worked with or somehow knew Phillip directly.
I’d heard several things about him. He was into scat and enjoyed laying under a glass table. Steph (his wife) knew he slept with men and, so long as she never had to see them, allowed it. But I’d never heard he was into underage boys, so I’m still questioning how bad this will get.
When he’s had to go out of his way to clarify the relationship was legal.. that’s a clear sign it was morally wrong
26 comments, zero visible……. never seen that before
Helped him get a job in the industry as a teenager, then started a relationship on the side 🤔 yeah thats definitely a power imbalance or dodgy at all in any way…
Making a point to apologise to the daily mail, they must have pictures or worse.
Love how everyone in the media is pretending this is brand new information. Been known about for *years*
Scum bag. He has managed this shockingly well though. First by coming out as gay as a slight of hand and then leaving This Morning before admiring what was rumoured. A master manipulator of both a vulnerable young person and the press. Hopefully this gets massive amounts of coverage. I’m sure others helped this get buried for so long!
He’d known this child since age 10 and pictured in bed with him at 15. He’s a nonce just like his brother
He is getting his story in first. Damage control. Piece of shit
“it was only after he started to work on the show that it became more than just a friendship.”
Grooming is what that is called. He was in a position of power and allowed himself to become friends with a child. He is a groomer and an abuser.
> “Contrary to speculation, whilst I met the man when he was a teenager and was asked to help him to get into television, it was only after he started to work on the show that it became more than just a friendship,” said Schofield, adding: “That relationship was unwise, but not illegal. It is now over.”
Doesn’t look good for Phil that he’s admitted to being with someone he first started talking to when they were underage, when he also has a brother who was recently jailed for child abuse (whom Schofield told not to admit to police anything he did).
He’s been dropped by his agent, is no longer hosting the NTA’s, and has “parted ways” with ITV all-together.
Those lads seem to be on a how to ruin your family name speed run
So all the muppets who called this fake news a year ago must be feeling pretty fecking stupid.
So Phillip meet him when he was a teenager, arranged for him to get a job on the same show that Phillip was on then it became more than just a friendship.
Sounds a lot like grooming
Why do i get the feeling he is going to get away with grooming.
So the super conjunction has come to an end, it’s going to be a spicy few weeks in the media
> “That relationship was unwise, but not illegal. It is now over.”
Phillip Schofield or Prince Andrew?
Phil and his brother are both gay paedophiles? Something is telling me something happened to them as kids
Your agents don’t suddenly drop you for simply having an ill-thought out affair.
Agents are there for crisis management and stick with you through thick and thin if they think the career is salvageable. When the agents drop them, you know the shit is about to hit the fan…
So if the affair and his repeated lies about it have got nothing to do with why he got sacked, then why *did* he get sacked?

> Schofield has finally been caught out … But he’s not the only guilty party. 4 high members of Itv management knew what sort of man he was …and NEVER once took action to prevent him controlling or taking advantage of his position over young people.
Light entertainment drama
He wasn’t there, complete lie. He was at a Pizza Express. End of story
I’m glad this has thoroughly fucked him. I was really annoyed that he essentially pulled a Kevin Spacey and came out to try and hide grooming, but his reputation remained intact.
Spare a thought for Gordon the Gopher, without a voice and his hand up his arse for years.
I’m sorry but this has been common knowledge for literally years? Wasn’t the whole reason he came out as gay in the first place to take the spotlight away from who the person was?
There is literally a photo out there of him with the boy when he was ten years old. Repulsive grooming
Nonces have more in common genetically with crabs. That’s a fact.
Well done to all the “you can’t believe everything you read on the internet” brigade once again, or paedophile enablers as they should be called.
Calling it now, in the next week or two we will have Holly Willoughby come out and say she knew nothing. In the next 10 years, we’ll have her come out and say ITV wouldn’t allow her to say anything. Or she’ll do the schofield special and say she’s a secret lesbian.
He recommends wines from Waitrose older than the kid he groomed.
Flying dangerously close to leaving a Saville-esque legacy.
As a child of the 80s and 90s I’m not fairing too well when it comes to my choice of celebs I looked up to as a kid.
20 years later and we still allow child abusers prominent positions on TV.
Wtf guys, we knew saville was his entire career, we knew this guy was his entire career.
Shameful.
Dear Emily Maitlis,
I’ve got another interview for you
What’s a grown man doing hanging around with a 10 year old boy and a married one with kids at that? He certainly couldn’t have been lonely and ‘other reasons’ must have been at play to need such a relationship with a young boy.
I think the idea a grown man patiently waited five or six years (until the UK age of consent) with the child, is rather unlikely, if, the whole time the relationship was secret. If he’s simply having an innocent (if unusual) friendship, why the secrecy and why the lies?
Either way, mans career is done. He had a decent run but you’d think he’d just fuck off abroad if he knows somethings coming. There is zero way back from this whether its illegal or not. Everyone finds this creepy even if the lad was 18. Putting out statements is just adding fuel to the fire. Not sure if he’s a nonce or not, but he is far more thick than he looks.
All his co-presenters and producers are accessories as far as I’m concerned. All the lovely-duvvy ‘outing’ of him was really weird and clearly a shot trying to clear his name. Even Eamonn was playing up to this charade.
There needs to be an independent review by ITV of working practices at that show and other shows.
This is part 2. Part 1 was when the press discovered his shenanigans, and the whole ‘I’m gay’ saga was to put off what’s happening now for a few years. The statement today from Schofield is again damage limitation. The next part will be the theatre company, what went on there, and who knows, maybe there are others that will come forward.
This entire thing could engulf ITV pretty quickly. Are there more like Schofield? Who is complicit and who has enabled him? A lot of careers at risk.
Part 3 will unfortunately be worse.
Groom young boys until “legal”. Have sex with them. Get caught. Come out as gay to control the narrative. Be labelled a hero instead of a groomer.
The Kevin Spacey defence.
He didn’t JUST have an affair. He groomed this kid first. No normal kid lusts after a 60+ year old when they come of age. Fucking nonce…
