Phillip Schofield is an English television presenter. He rose to prominence as a Children's BBC continuity presenter from 1985 to 1987, and went on to present a wide range of programmes for the BBC and ITV. As an actor, he played the leading roles in the musicals Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Doctor Dolittle. In 2020, Schofield came out as gay and separated from his wife of 27 years. In May 2023, he admitted to having an extramarital affair with a male ITV employee more than 30 years his junior and to lying about the relationship to ITV's management, his work colleagues, his lawyers, his agents and others. Amid extensive media coverage, Schofield resigned from ITV and was removed as an ambassador for the Prince's Trust.

I don't believe the sexual encounter " just happened." There is usually sexual tension for a while before a sexual encounter. He was an apparently a married straight man before it did, which means it would be even more unbelievable that it "just happened". He's a liar.

[@CrimeAuditors]

You are right. This build up was over a very long time and the dressing room was not the first time it just happened. More likely whatever happened at his apartment continued into the dressing room. He lied when he said that he didn’t think MM had stayed over - as if he wouldn’t remember!

True. Actually just having a 'legal affair with a younger coworker' while the coworker has not filed any complaint yet does not need so much explanations and interviews, unless he wants to redirect people's opinion from a bigger problem, and mopping up a much bigger mess. He knows he is being grilled for a much bigger potential allegations.. so all he should do is to admit to affair and minimize every aspect of it.

[@tinamac2380]

This ‘little boy lost’ performance is embarrassing. The power differential between Schofield and the younger man is enormous - age, celebrity-status, access to employment opportunities and so on. Imagine you’re middle-aged, and a male family friend, who was around your children when they were growing up, tells you he’s shagging your 20-year-old son. Would you find that acceptable…? Would you be thinking back to when your son was 15-years-old, and whether he was ear-marking your son for the future…? There’s definitely a whiff of the ‘predatory’ about it. What is most disgusting about the likes of Schofield is the way they present themselves as ‘holier than thou’ and ‘clean-living’, looking down their noses at others who are struggling with life, but they’re behaving like animals behind the scenes. The issue for me isn’t his ‘homosexuality’, it’s the SLEAZE.

[@persnickety-do-dah]

Deeply closeted or not, a middle aged man who ingratiates himself to a 15 year old and then develops a romantic relationship when they come of age is unseemly at best, grooming at worst. He may have been in deep denial of his feelings and had no intent when the boy was a minor but it looks very bad.

[@rachroselli]

There's some missing context around this situation that yourselves and people watching in different countries might not be aware of. In February 2020, Phillip 'came out' by a written statement on his Instagram and then by appearing as a guest on the show he hosts to speak about his situation. The British public and his wife supported him 100%. Industry indsiders said Phillip's sexaulity was 'tv's worst kept secret', and celebs such as Joan Collins spoke about how Phillip's sexuality was known and accepted in the industry, but the timing of his coming out seemed odd. Speculation around toxicity and an affair with the show runner followed. It was revealed that colleagues had raised complaints around Phillip's behaviour. Then, in May 2023 Phillip's brother appeared in court accused of child sex offences. He was found guilty and jailed for 12 years. Phillip was absent from his morning talk show while his brother was in court. The public felt he was hiding. At the same time, more rumours around Philip's alleged toxic and inappropriate behaviour swirled, all coming back to the runner Phillip was first introduced to at a theatre school he was a Patron of when the runner was just 10. Phillip came back to host the show for a week, and the tension between him and his cohost, Holly, was unbearable, with Holly practically grimacing in pain and having to joke and laugh with Phillip. It was announced over the following weekend that Phillip wouldn't be returning to the show. Then followed Phillip's tell all interview admitting to an affair with said runner! After Jimmy Savile's horrendous crimes and manipulation, we, the British public, are terrified of child abuse rings being covered up and an abuse of power within the entertainment industry. When a trusted 'wholesome' TV presenter is accused of grooming a child for a secret relationship (even if that is when they have reached legal age of consent) along with his paedophile brother being friends with the owner of the drama school, (photographic proof of PS, brother & owner together) we wonder how deep it actually goes and fear that it is true that birds of a feather flock together...

[@yasminec.3212]

Thank you ! I'm French and I was a bit surprised at all the "fuss". I mean of course it's very very suspicious (to say the least) if a powerful TV person has an affair with a much younger person they've known since they were children, but it definitely felt I was missing something.

[@rachroselli]

@yasminec.3212 Yes, his sexuality is not an issue at all. Everyone sort of knew before he came out. Affairs happen... lots of actors, singers presenters have them and its not the end their career. This is different because it's suspected the TV executives knew he had a relationship with the runner, and helped get him a job, possibly for 'favours'in return, and covered it up even though colleagues complained. The BBC covered up Savile and we're worried ITV has done the same. Although, as it stands no crimes have been committed!

[@videovedo36]

I also heard that Philip and Holly are two completely different persons when the cameras are off, not at all pleasant and down to earth, and especially not such friends as they pretended to be. He is completely lying when ihe says that the whole team is like family, there is no bullying, while the truth is he could behave however he wanted and was always protected by the producers.

[@rachroselli]

Schofield doesn't get it at all. When asked what he did wrong, he "takes full responsibility" for "kissing someone in the workplace" - yet completely denies there was a power differential, and tries to explain he treated everyone "equally." The way you treat people does not negate a power differential. The truth is, there was a power differential, whether he consciously realized it or not (that's how hierarchies work), which can influence the less powerful to do acts they don't feel they have a choice in, based on fear. With power, comes great responsibility, like it or not. So, he isn't taking "full responsibility" whatsoever.

[@mariefitzmaurice4341]

This man was married with children, yet having a sexual relationship with a minor, allegedly. Luckily, he is protected by the good old boys' club. I remember when he came out on his Show, and he was supported by his co-workers, his family was supportive, and his fans were too. When his own brother, Timothy Schofield was arrested and convicted a few weeks ago, for similar offenses he did not give his brother any support. He said he did not have a brother anymore, hypocrite. Now, he is only sorry he got caught. I know a couple who have been bullied, harassed, and lied on for YEARS, by the Phillip Schofield's Network, so now he knows how it feels. KARMA!! Finally, Phillip Scofield is accepting responsibility because he does not want to blame the "victim" and ends up with a car crash interview, a la, Andrew.

Because he is gay, the UK is so inclusive on sexuality and gender preferences nowadays, we’re not all wearing bowler hats with umbrellas waiting in queues and drinking tea with a cup and saucer. This man, bending facts and truth to his own end, procured a minor over a number of years behind the scenes and used his position of power and promise of future to do so. This is grooming, whether the other party was male or female does not change that fact. Can I also add, the fact that he doesn’t believe he has done anything wrong besides some little romantic kiss and other softening stuff added to his experience in acting, rehearsing and putting forth a persona for the public shows his skills in the art of deception has even had 3 of you 4 on the ropes in this video.

I'm British & the furore around Schofield has nothing to do with him coming out, nothing to do with him having an affair, except us feeling compassion for his wife & kids & no one wants to destroy him. This all happened years ago, but the reason he is being called out now is that his brother has just gone to prison for what he did & it came out in the courtcase that Schofield had known about it & not done anything. Imo, ITV were perhaps happy to assist their biggest star in the past, but suddenly, due to his brother, the press were raking up what happened with this lad in case it was the same thing & ITV needed to distance themselves from him. The lad has never said a word, but many others who worked there at the time said they were concerned for the lads welfare years ago & again recently. The press don't seem to be able to report or ask the questions that some would like to be asked, which is why there is a suspicion of NDAs. It is a concern for the welfare of young people just starting out in their careers, even on work experience & making sure that things are not being covered up after the horrors of Jimmy Saville

I agree with everything Chase says about homosexuality not being acceptable in previous years. But I don't think this was the case for Philip. To Chase: Everyone in the business always thought he was gay & most of them were surprised to find out that he was actually married. He found it difficult here to say the words, because he's embarrassed & rightly so. He only just recently went on tv to make a grand statement, saying that 'just recently' he'd been struggling with his sexuality. Yet according to what he says here, the struggle with his sexuality was going on YEARS ago. He's used it as an excuse. He hasn't struggled at all, he's always known he was gay & has been ok with it. In fact, he was so ok with it that he carried on gay relationships, which everybody on the show knew about. He would sneak off to his flat on Thursdays, which he called playdate Thursday. The young Man would be brought into work the next morning, by an ITV car. So they most definitely knew what was going on. He got married & had 2 Daughters. He HAS to make an excuse for having led his Wife up the garden path. So fo say he was 'struggling' gives him a bit of leeway. Also, to Scott, Philip has had training in acting. I believe that the whole 'defeated' look is totally put on. He's a narcissist (according to quite a few people who have worked with him) & he's simply looking for sympathy.

Philip Schofield decided to "come out" as gay on the show. There was a huge thing made of it... everyone on the show lauding him as a hero , being so brave etc...

He is known for his rude treatment of guests & others on the show. The young man in question was invited , by Schofield, to events that no "junior runner", would be. At one of the latter events the young man became intoxicated & was crying on the shoulders of all who would listen... Shortly thereafter he was transferred to "loose women".. .

[@gaysy1st]

Spot on. Philip had finished with MM & he apparently kicked off that night, being very verbal about their relationship. I'm pretty sure this is why Schofield decided to 'come out', because lots of people would have heard that, so he knew the game was up. His Wife was there too & she didn't know??? Of course she knew. Every now & then his real attitude slips through from behind this fake act he's putting on here. I'm referring to when he mentioned that the Sun wasn't about to 'out' him. He follows up with "And secondly, that's illegal". Smug little git. This indicates to me that he clearly thought he was as safe as houses & that nobody would dare say a word. So when he apparently said to MM "Where's all THIS coming from?", he must have been horrified that someone DID dare to 'out' him. Also, I said the same thing as you in regards to his answer to Holly, when she asked him if there was anyone in his life. He definitely did categorically say that there wasn't. He implied that he'd only recently realised that he was gay & so hadn't yet even considered dating a guy. He put on the same act that he's giving here, but he was lying through his teeth. What a fake.

When the Queen died Schofield and his sidekick were accused of jumping the queue. Seems trivial but they got enormous pushback from the public. Jumping queues and the queen...ask Mark...it's a big cultural no no, so his job and reputation were already on the line before this. His brother is a convicted child molester. He has a reputation for not being a very nice person behind the camera and for not knowing the names of staff on his show.

Glad you guys did this one. I'm only 17 mins in and can't resist commenting already! As a mum of a gay man I have a different perspective. Unfortunately, here in the UK there is an unsettling culture of older gay men thinking they are helping or educating younger, underage, impressionable gay boys. Sadly, none of them believe they are grooming and that it's just a love story that these boys end up in their bed when they are of age. Well, It is grooming, it is wrong and its not acceptable. Yes, there are many mentors who never take advantage of the boys they helped through their younger years and in fact push them away but all too often here it's seen as acceptable and that the youngster has made an informed choice. What's really sick is that this man really believes he did nothing wrong. If you think those doe eyes are mean he's innocent, ask yourself this acid test: Would you find it acceptable to sleep with one of your children's friends, the one that always came to you for advice?

The issue isn't cheating, the issue is about grooming an underage boy. Instead of stopping it in its tracks, Philip encouraged the 15-year old boy, helped him get a job at ITV, and later became sexually involved with him. And he lied to ITV and his collegues about the whole thing.

ghislaine maxwell said in her deposition,she was always glad to give "career advise" and if people read her charges,the grooming description is exactly luke what happened here.I shiver to think how many other MINOR UNDERAGE CHILDREN he´s CHATTING ONLINE as we speek.

I've heard that Phillip is paying for the other man's legal fees? He is still in contact with him and he helped him get a job, he is now working in a pub? It sounds to me like Phillip is in complete control of him and in my opinion making sure the other man is on his side to keep Phillip safe??? Phillip is a professional presenter and knows exactly how to come across, what to say and how to cover his own back. Also, he is using his mental state to protect himself. So many members of staff that have worked with him have said how horrible he is and how he treated them really badly???
