OMG. What will we do if these 2 separate?? This would be a bigger impact to the world than ChatGPT. Imagine if we end up stuck with Dermot and Alison!! ☹️
She would have had to have her head buried in the sand not to know, I don't believe a bit of it sorry.
Surely if this lad was working at ITV he was old enough to have a relationship?
Eamonn Holmes not mincing his words.
Perhaps he started there during a school student placement programme ..
Rough timeline, creepy at the very least....grooming vibes imo
Holly definitely regrets being his best bud and comforting him during the whole 'coming out' saga.
Oh...
But that timeline suggests he didn't have any interaction with the young lad till he was 18?
What timeline? It looks like they met when he was about 12, then they definitely interacted on Twitter when he was just turned 15. What age was he when this young fella was 18?
He might not have done anything illegal but it is still creepy AF, that coupled with the crocodile tears coming out on the this morning couch (how brave...oh piss off, the only person who anyone should feel sorry for is his wife and kids).
Not mincing his words...but not exactly consistent either...
Well it says the young lad tweeted him when he was 15, but Philip didn't reply. It says he started to tweet him when the young lad was 18.
I dunno, I'll look at it again tomorrow with completely sober eyes, but that part didn't seem bad.
Never bought into the so brave coming out thing anyway, thought it was terrible for the wife and kids
Açcording to the limegoss article:
"Phillip Schofield followed Matthew on twitter (Matthew had only just turned 15 years old, 5 days earlier (d.o.b: 21 March 1996), he had NOT asked Phil to follow him)."
Then at 18 Scofield makes contact... Matthew gets a job as runner on This Morning seemingly Scofield playing a part in that. They are seen in public together off set. Matthew is unusually on stage when TM gets an award. Then there is some falling out and he is shunted onto another programme. Again all based on limegoss.
Scofield might have been able to explain away one or the other but if he was pivotal in getting Matthew the job it looks very bad in MeToo era.
My understanding is he met Matthew when he was around 10 and at The two face theatre company. He followed the kid on social media since he was 15. Then the young lad got a job as a runner on the morning show. In 2019 Schofield employs a crisis management agency. In 2019 Matthew moves to Loose women and is no longer involved in any Scheduled shows. Phillip then bravely comes out .
Wonder when other young lads will come out with Schofields social media messaging?
It's weird how long people knew and said nothing. Groundhog Day.
I would say it will all come out eventually. Rumours that a possible injunction against the young fella might be running out soon as well.
His brother told him about him abusing a young boy and he didn't report it to the police.
Jesus talk about a fall from grace. I'd say the big wigs in ITV are in a faff...some heads bound to roll
There is never just one, what we know is dodgy, what we don't know is incredibly shocking, of course in time it will all surface. Who knew that another ''Jimmy'' could be operating right in front of our eyes
Yea. it's called a D.M , didn't reply lolz. I'm sure he could have in a direct message.
True, maybe he did
Bit of a jump considering "Jimmy" was responsible for sexual abuse of hundreds of children, and likely also committed necrophilia.
We currently don't even know if anything happened between Schofield and this one young lad while he was under 18. As scummy and disgusting as the age difference already makes it, we are nowhere remotely near bringing Jimmy Savile into the conversation.
Wondering when Gordon the Gopher will get dragged into this.
holly has some splaining
No doubt he knows where the bodies are buried thats why he is wrapped up in a super injunction - in his case, literally - its a lot of paperwork.
What age is Phil's kids? I wonder did they did and the wife know, AFAIR he stayed living with them in the family home after his coming out on telly
I expect his face all over the papers tomorrow
Followed by the young man selling his story to the Sunday papers.
The day that he "came out" I watched it and thought this guy is hiding something else and sure enough it turns out he had been in a relationship with an 18 year old that he met when he was 12 and followed on social media from the age of 15. He had gotten this lad a job in ITV as a runner. This is not normal behaviour but now, given all that has happened in the last week I really think there is a sh1t storm brewing about this creep. The weekend papers will be very interesting. If it turns out that he was taking advantage of young people and others at ITV knew then I hope the rest of them follow him out the door and that charges are brought against the whole lot of them.
Did he now...2019 you say
He is a parasite.
They all knew, hypocrites
Did Phil get Eamonn and Ruth fired from This Morning?
I never liked Schofield, even before all this. He just came across like a fake, especially the PR stunt involving him coming out. As said above, his wife and kids deserve the sympathy.
Is this going to be the end of his career I wonder, or is he going to get another chance on GB News or wherever?
But is the fact that he knew what his brother was up to and did not act to safeguard young people from him, the real breaking point.
Which Irish musican?
