This Philip Schofield stuff is madness

Because he’s quite possibly committed criminal offences?

Not really been following this, what criminal offences is he suspected of?

If he's committed a crime (I can't think what, and no-one has suggested this) then that's a little different.

There’s a lot of info on Twitter. Even facts. Check it out. Then come back.

I dont do twitter - cant you just report what is on twitter?

No ofc not. Ffs.

info on Twitter. Even facts

FFS

Have a look for yourself. Make your own mind up. Show you’ve got one.

If what is on Twitter is "facts", why are you so terrified of repeating them?

All I've seen is a lot of thinly veiled homophobic stuff about how he allegedly "groomed" a young runner.

ok, well if it just somebody saying stuff on twitter and you will not say what that is, that would appear to be the end of the discussion.

The same reasons everyone else is.

This is obviously just a distraction from the overall CyOp

Because it's tittle tattle and there's a 5,000/1 chance you'll be sued for libel? Righto.

Are there any lawyers left on rof at all?

dux I am not sure it is homophobic in the sense that the brickbats would be just as bad and possibly even worse if the accusation was of a late middle aged man seducing a young girl.

Pretty sure the job description for "runner" on an ITV production does not have "willing to suck takent's cock" as a minimum qualification.

I think the CEO and HR should genuinely be concerned about this.

The time you spent crapping on about this you could have found out for yourself

Its all a bit perplexing. Who cares what some minor daytime TV presenter gets up to. Not really front page news is it.

It seems to be filling an unusual gap in serious news (ukraine aside) at the moment. Crime stories are also getting more coverage than usual for the same reason.

Well apparently there's real evidence of criminal wrongdoing but it's only to be found on Twitter. And it can't be repeated even though it is 100% FACT.

There are major safeguarding issues raised by this. I’m surprised the usually so vocal parents on here seem to care so little, given their general fears about older men.

i’ve done a bit of a dive on twitter and there’s a “timeline” going around that seems to be a fairly creepy stalking of the runner’s twitter and instagram profiles/comments as well as random rumours about this “feud” with holly

and it ends with “it doesn’t actually look like they interacted much while the runner was a minor and so phil probably didn’t do anything wrong here”

and then all the comments to the twitter post are bluetick mumsnet types calling him a groomer

twitter is a cesspit, is my point

btw i’m not saying he didn’t do anything, i’m saying that until the runner decides if he wants to say something there’s absolutely no “proof” of anything on twitter

You need to do a bit better research then. And I’ll give you a clue or two - theatre school, pal, patron.

Someone's hit the vin ordinaire early today...

heh i have no interest in doing more “research” from random amateur detectives on twitter

Some strong "do your own research" vibes on this thread. Red flag stuff.

snap @ chill

here is a link to a newspaper:

Youd certainly be more familiar than most with ordinaire ‘g’wan’

What has actually happened here?

Did Holly make a play for Phil to be released for artistic reasons not realising his previous relationship would come more in to publuc domain or did she ditch him as she knew this was coming?

Here is a link to the tattle wiki :

This whole thing has cemented my faith in karma. Clear he was always an arse. The fact he sat and lapped up all the attention for being “brave” when he came out when he had being lying and now cheating on his wife.

Can you cheat on your wife if she’s a beard?

homophobia, everyday every where

What in the ever living fook is ‘tattle wiki’

The whole thing shines a light on the desperation of the talentless who get into a celebrity type world and the power that they are desperate to hold onto knowing that they are nothing without it. These characters could have walked out of the toxic situation or resigned a long time ago but stayed to the last sitting on the sofa gushing about themselves.

And what’s the gig about “helping” unskilled young people get into TV. Going the normal route to employment much better imo ie getting qualifications and applying for roles.

It's not about the affair. Like with Zahawi, it's not about the error on the tax return. It is the layers and layers of cover-up, denial, and it is all unravelling horrendously for all involved

genuinely bemused by the interest in this

man lies about unwise affair may be serious for those involved but how is it dominating national news coverage?

I don’t think there are layers and layers of cover up. That is an exaggeration from what is known at the moment.

Tattle have been covering this story for years and store the info in their wiki on it so that people can read it and get up to speed quickly.

That was why I was confused about the timing that this has blown up so much now on msm because it’s been on there for 3/4 years.

some new info has come out since this all blew up, but the bones of it has been there for ages - inc all the screenshots of the online convos / pics and timelines

If you read the wiki you will understand why people are so incensed by it.

Yes what Heff says. Completely disproportionate response from media. It’s click bait but front page news on broadsheets?! Is there an under current of deflection from other issues?

I have read it and not incensed. Not impressed but not incensed. Never come across that website before!

I would guess ITV want to be sure they don't have another BBC scenario on their hands. Because if BBC had announced a similar inquiry in the 80s the reaction would also most probably have been - What has Jimmy done wrong other than help kids with their dreams - just as some of the halfwits on here are reacting now.
