Phillip Schofield steps down from ITV after affair with "much younger male"

Ah I'll have to catch it.

Not for me it’s not - I’m just waiting on Nasty Nick to pop up and say “Elloo Mum”🤪

Even if we are to believe all Phillip has said, even if no sexual liaison had taken place, there are still huge problems.

Philip brought a young mate into the ITV work environment.  He showed him preferential treatment by giving work experience, helping produce Show Reel,  having mate onstage at awards, including him in luxury transport to TV awards.  This favouritism was grossly unfair to others, on team, striving to succeed in the industry. This is what causes toxicity in work environment.

When runner seized to be 'mate' he was foisted on other team,  who were left to pick up pieces.  This other team also lost a team member, pushed aside to facilitate Philip's comfort.  Huge abuse of power, personnel and team.

Enough to merit huge workplace review,  suspension if not sack of all involved in toxic unfair workplace behaviour.

It also doesn't mean you won't be fired... you probably will it will likely count as gross misconduct

Just read her statement online. It’s completely nauseating and yes she even wore white to show how angelic she is.

What do you mean?

Before Philip and Holly, there was and were plenty of other hosts...there was Phillip and Fern...before that it was Richard and Judy. Lots of others over the years, I don't think the format needs both or either of them.

It's always monotonous and a pretty brain dead watch from what I can see, any show that gives a regular platform to dullards like Gyles Brandreth, how could it not be..

What I find most nauseating is the 24 hour barrage of stories when most of those publishing and broadcasting have no real idea as to what exactly went on.

And the public fall for it. Same as the last half baked scandal. And the one before that .

One person who's really let himself down is Eamonn Holmes. Bitter little man with a bitter little grudge salivating every morning on his bitter little TV show. I had some time for him before this but it's a sad way for a man of his age to be carrying on.

Plenty of males present it or have recently, Rylan pretty regularly (before his personal issues), Dermot O'Leary (regularly), Vernon Kay, Andi Peters, Craig Doyle etc.

I would say day time Emmy at best but hey...
