Phillip Schofield dropped as ambassador for The Prince's Trust charityDoes this really need to go in front of politicians? He banged a younger male (i'm assuming over 18) co worker while married to a wife. The ITV said nothing about it as you'd expect. So far there's no mention he used his influence on the co worker or anything. Now the ITV has to do the ultimate example of "pot calling the kettle black" and go in front of an establishment (notorious for shagging all around them and covering it up) and explain themselves. Why?

The whole thing is a non story as far as I'm concerned and smacks of social media led hysteria.

The narrative seems to be that the youth was groomed at age 15.
However the narrative at another time was that a 15 year old girl, knew exactly what she had got into.
It been driven by a "news channel" and their "stars" who are ex employees. Funny that.

I don't think it IS a non-story, really, because it's reflective of the broadcaster and the society we're living in. Fair enough if you're not interested in Philip Schofield - but there ARE questions to answer (which probably won't be answered)

It been driven by a "news channel" and their "stars" who are ex employees. Funny that. From what I read before this came out officially - there was a super injunction apparently - they met when he was younger, either around 10 or 12 via an older boy who worked with the same theatre group. Now according to Schofield he was 15 when they officially met. If you do a bit of internet digging you'll find things related to the other fella and the theatre group. The only reason why Schofield came out was because the young fella was going to publicly reveal it. All the pantomime theatrics on This Morning was a performance because their relationship was an open secret on set and therefore everyone knew Schofield was shagging this lad behind his wife's back. But of course in the modern world he was hailed as a hero because he's gay or something. I'm usually not fussed about what TV hosts do in their spare time, regardless of their audience, but given the obvious lying and duplicity and the fact that even by his admission they met when he was underage you have to ask questions about what was really going on. I mean, if you flipped it around and you had a 50 something married man with kids who met an underage girl and then gave her a job working on his TV show a couple years later and then he ended up shagging her behind his wife's back what would people be saying? You better believe people would be using the word "grooming".

There is a lot of innuendo and reveals on the Internet regarding Scohfield. I've no idea how much of it is true or not. I agree that Scohfield has used his position to enable him to have an influence over the youth.

Years ago that might have been true but not these days I think. Imo the most interesting thing about this story is the double standards that were applied to Schofield initially. I suspect there will be more info to come.

In terms of celebrity super nonces the rumours seem to all be pointing at either Cliff Richard or David Jason.
