Phillip Schofield has blamed homophobia for the scandal that ended his career, saying he would have received a pat on the back for having an affair with a woman.
Schofield was forced to quit his job on ITV’s This Morning when it emerged he had lied about a relationship with a runner who was more than 30 years his junior.
Given the me too stuff it’s entirely possible that the shrieksof outrage would have been worse. 30 years younger, you in a position of power over them at work?
It’s probably not the dick on dick action you know….
Yes, showbiz and light entertainment programming, those famously hostile to gay professions…
I thought it was just the opposite. I thought he was lauded as a hero for coming out and showing his true bum banditry. When you consider the retribution inflicted on the famously ungay Cliff by the Black Broadcasting Craperation with the help of Plod, he’s quite lucky for deciding to pot black after years of potting the pink…
Creepygroomerphobia maybe….
Take some fucking responsibility!
A part of any rehabilitation would be to shut the fuck up for a few years and then start by making some sort of GENUINE apology.
Best of luck though as nobody – outside of the gated cuntmunity of like minded degenerates – has any sympathy.
Schofield always was a rum one. You could just tell. Not quite as rum as Savile, who was just glaringly obvious, but rum nonetheless. This explains the complete lack of surprise when his peccadillo was revealed.
Time for the narcissistic prick to shut up and vanish into obscurity before he embarrasses himself any further with this self pitying drek.
Nonces are whiny fuckers – who knew? Drama queens the lot of them.
No doubt huw edwards will be seeing an opening…
I wouldn’t be too critical of the shirt lifter community. It might come back to bite you. From my experiences in a certain industry, the numbers of the overweight, balding, middle class Brit community seeking assignations with nubile, slim, attractive totty is nothing less than astounding. A profile that might replicate their daughter’s of even their grand daughter’s schoolfriends. I’d hazard the majority of the demographic I’ve encountered. So the odds are high, there’s members of it commenting here.
Quite why, I’ve never worked out. Surely they must realise their desired bed partners despise them. Or maybe they’ve hides inches thick. But it’s quite obvious they’re paying for it because it’s the only way they’ll get what they want. Or at least I hope it is.
Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!
Grist,
It was all rather vile how it was covered, because no-one wanted to be seen as homophobic. Lots of people quietly found his actions repulsive.
I don’t care what the gays do. I don’t even care if you’re behaving like Joel Schumacher and just waist deep in cock in your spare time. It’s honour that bothers me. You make promises to people, you don’t break them. Also, he made Falling Down, which is an amazing movie.
I do wonder. Did his wife already know? Or did she cut a deal for a huge divorce on the basis of showing her support? You know, Phil takes a break, returns, and a little while after that, you quietly divorce.

Not much point in criticising (hetro) men for their inate predilections for young girls. As our host points out, we’re a sexually dimorphic species where men are looking for fertile (young) women to copulate with.
in the last episode of the whining perv’s desert island show – does his Boy Friday turn up?
