Off Topic Schofield has done one

Phillip Schofield says he has agreed to step down from ITV’s This Morning “with immediate effect” after more than 20 years.

In a statement, he said: "I understand ITV has decided the current situation can't go on."

His departure comes after reports claimed relations between him and co-host Holly Willoughby had come under strain in recent weeks.

 

Overpaid big girls blouse,waste of a serious wage...Good riddance.

 

So you aren't a fan then?

 

He was OK with Gordon the Gopher

There’s a rumour floating about that he’s paying a crisis management PR firm £30,000 a week to prevent media speculation about him grooming a lad he had hired for This Morning. Another rumour is that he has a super-injunction against the British press.

 

Don't know about him grooming but his brother's just been sent down for 12 years for under age sex.

There are rumours that Schofield was in a sexual relationship/affair with a This Morning employee called Matthew McGreevy. Allegedly, Schofield got him the job when he was 18 but there’s pictures floating around of Schofield meeting McGreevy when he was 11 and later when he was 15. Schofield also recently said he had no knowledge of his brother sexual assaulting a minor but there are court transcripts where he testified that his brother told him. It’s all very strange.

 

Worked for Avon and Somerset police in some or other capacity,which makes his crimes even more heinous...

 

Civilian worker for the police but whatever job it was, the ****'s a nonce.

 

Fellas.... let's not lower ourselves to speculate ...

 

I don’t follow this sorta ****e but what is the actual incident or happening?

 

scroll up…rumours of him grooming

 

He’s gone too far this time

 

Does anybody care other than himself, strikes me as someone full of his own importance.

 

Completely agree.

Mind you if he knew his Brother was abusing a 12 year old and didn’t do anything about it (which seems to be the case based on his statements in court) then he deserves sacking, not an ‘agreement to step down’

 

Schofield also once got really stuck into one of those paedophile hunters who was on this morning. Seemed to have an axe to grind.

 

I think you are being kind.
Despicable person. For several years now I've failed to understand why anyone would want to be associated with him (tv shows, adverts, whatever). I hope he gets a proper comeuppance.

 

I think it rather depends what else comes out once his injunction runs out, which some claim is the real reason behind Willoughby repositioning their friendship now.

 

"repositioning their friendship" = getting rid
