So he was conversing about his sexuality with the young man before coming out? Then look at Cheryl Cole. Little boy from One Direction was 14 when she met him 🤷♀️🤷♀️
So what? It's wrong to have a relationship with a 14 year old when you are an adult. End of story. And you don't discuss anything to do with your personal life with a 14 year old. He uses this pathetic excuse of working in TV, but this is just basic respect for young people wherever you work.
I’m sorry, but Pip wasn’t “really in a mess with his sexuality” when he first went with this young man because he was openly dating men way back when he was Joseph in J and the Technicolour Dreamcoat. Phil should have come clean as soon as this lad was going to spill the beans, and I mean REALLY tell the truth - the whole truth. He has kept his sexuality “hidden” from Joe Public to protect his squeaky clean, married man, daytime image, when in fact, he’s been an active homosexual with a wife and children for decades.
Well, if that's true he certainly wasn't the first. Either to keep up the picture of his picture perfect life with wife and children OR to hide his sexuality. In fact I see no big deal in this. He cheated on his wife and that's a PRIVATE matter! I don't know Phillip personally but I hope he has come through it and somehow recovered.
Cheryl Cole dates Liam Payne who she met at 14. Leonardo DiCaprio has a new girlfriend every month who’s 18. Boris Johnson’s wife is many, many years his junior. Nobody bats an eye. If the issue is that he lied, fair enough. But to make an issue out of the age difference, consider what we accept patently in society amongst our straight peers before holding him to a higher standard than that.
@@banterbeards8967 oh please. You’re just drawing a through line between gay men and pedophiles which is a trope as old as time. Your propensity for drawing that through line is something you need to deconstruct and reflect on.
@@splinterbyrdI think that's where the problem comes in. Now, there have been many allegations that Schofield was very unpleasant towards a handful of people who worked or were interviewed on the programme, and people have said the same thing about Holly Willoughby, one such example being a comment on another video about this scandal where a person said that they knew a girl who was often bullied by Holly when they were teenagers. Now I'm not saying that this is 100% true, but it is very believable considering how many people have came out and said that these two were very unpleasant and obnoxious with others, such as Eamon Holmes or Kim Woodburn. But to be fair, although Schofield has had an affair, which he should never have done, at least the man he did it with was, yes a lot younger, but also over the age of consent. Of course, they met when he was still a young boy, yes, and when you look at it that way it's very creepy, but it's not like he's the next Savile, is it?
@@humphreyjohnstone6783 I suspect that's a great deal of what this is really about. Media is an extremely competitive cut-throat profession and there's probably alot of people there who just didn't like him. I got the impression that was also true of Rolf Harris and even to an extent with Jimmy Savile
@@splinterbyrd Yes. The media does take things a little bit too far. Of course, what Saville did was much more evil and vile compared to Schofield, but I know various people who compared Schofield to being the new Saville because of what they read in the media. It's ridiculous.
Yes. He met him when he was 15, which is a massive power imbalance. He didn't meet the guy at 20. I think 20 is too young anyway - no, I'm not a prude, it's just a big ego trip for the older person, puke.
A friend of mine who at the time was at University studying media and journalism asked Phillip if she could do a work placement at This Morning and he said no. She was an outstanding student who now has a very successful media career, Phil told her that work placement choices were nothing to do with him. Her tutor gave her PS’s contact details because Phil had helped several other students from the same university course get work experience before. The only difference in her case was that all of the interns that Phillip had helped previously were young men. Strangely enough a few weeks later a young man doing the same course contacted Phillip and he was only too happy to pull some strings to get him a work experience slot after requesting a picture of the student. My friend who now knows people who work behind the scenes at TM was told that PS has had a string of young male student interns. Many of which were specifically engaged as PS’s personal assistants and their duties extended outside of the This Morning workplace. All had to sign NDA’s.
I 100% can believe this…the fact that he refuses to disclose wether or not he’s had other gay relationships/sexual encounters there’s more to come in all of this
I guess no one is mentioning how good this interviewer is, the way he was just shutting down Philip whenever he went down the emotional road, he would jab him with another intrusive question to psychologically break him down. I know it’s his job, but he’s great at it!
This young man was an adult at 20 you are no longer classed as a child or boy just because he knew him from 15 it was still a legal relationship because he was over 18
Am I the only one who remembers when he was considered a national treasure a couple of years ago? 2018/2019? Everyone was posting he’s such a legend, he’s so funny etc, rolled my eyes then and now it’s just hilarious
what Tate says in a recent vid about how the press treat him compared to Mr Schofield; stark difference. Like we should feel sorry for poor Philip. He's such a martyr. He showed similar mannerisms to the prince when he got questioned by Emily Maitlis.
@@michellethomas8042what's wrong is they're throwing soft balls. Easy questions and painting him out the victim. Instead of the guilty by media accusations of Tate and trying to catch him out and hanging on every word. This is how they'd have treated Jimmy Savile if he wasn't so high up they had to wait for him to kick the bucket!
In my opinion every time he reply’s, NO.. GOD NO. I feel he is lying.. he’s lied to everyone for years so I just don’t believe what he is saying now and just feel he’s trying to play everything down
Man sleeps with 20-year-old man shocker! What did he do wrong? Yes, morally he had an affair that was wrong, but, people are acting like he committed a crime - he didn’t. If sleeping with a 20-year-old is a crime, then, we are all - or have been - guilty!
@@danh5637 Meeting a person when there a kid does not imply grooming Philip is being accused of something that he has not done & the recent NDA does not protect you from the law Police could go in and arrest at anytime if he had groomed this young man. However no one gets arrested on gossip & rumor mongering or suggestions there has to be proof of grooming & there is none quite frankly
@@caroleoneill2872 so he meets the kid at a school play. And then goes above and beyond to make sure he gets a tv runners job and then is swiftly promoted all on the show he works on. All the while keeping “secret” they’re having an affair. Yeah nothing to see here.
Realistically until that man comes out and says his side we won't know if he was groomed because we don't know how the conversations went. Him talking to the boy normally is not immediately grooming, grooming has to be specific in its nature of preparing to make a move on a minor like if their convos were on stuff like "what's it like behind the scenes" "well kid behind the scenes is like xyz.." that's not grooming if it was like "oh I can get you a job on this morning you know, wouldn't that be something you'd owe me a ton if I did that wouldn't you, how do you think you could repay me", that is grooming its covertly sexual in nature and getting the minor ready for you to approach in a sexual manner. People have had mentors since the beginning of time and that's not grooming is it. Talking to minors is always messy just don't do it if you don't want to be called a pedo
Your a good man Philip yr truth went against you when really it should have gone in your favou... stay strong This Morning is not the same without you x
He has no intentions to end his life. He isn't sorry for what he did especially to his poor wife. He is a predator. He abused his trust. There were messages back and forth whilst the boy was underage. You can tell he is lying through his teeth
yes mate a predator who used exactly the same Way Rolph Harris did it, let the child visit the set and get stars in their eyes then the abuse starts, the only reason he came out because he thought he had been caught on film in a cafe
He comes across as very manipulative and conniving. He wants us to feel sorry for him, implies he’s on the brink of suicide, forgive us for having no sympathy for a stuck up millionaire!
Phillip you cocked up but don't need to end your life. He's had a full career and can afford to retire and live a good private life while everyone heals and moves on
@@Itsliz1984 If anyone's ego is too big, it's yours. People are far too quick to judge these days. It's clear this man is broken! Do you have no empathy? If you can't manage that, what about a bit of sympathy? He's basically been crucified for keeping his private life private. Holly Willoughby seems to think she should have been privy to it all. Why? I am not a Phil Schofield fan, but I find this circus quite disgusting.
Totally agree. Unless there is proof of underage sexual contact, this was essentially an age gap work affair, not worthy of hanging someone. I think he has suffered enough.
“I’m best friends with the people who got me in television” Yh says a lot about these higher ups in that industry aswell! Funny how they hate Andrew tate but treat this nonce with the upmost respect.
Notice at the beginning how when asked when he first added the kid on his Twitter if they had any kind of message exchange he shakes his head as if to communicate “no” yet his answer is “hardly”. Philip also tries to shift the focus on the young man claiming “he doesn’t deserve this!” as if Philip thinks he is some kind of altruistic hero, and the public should think of him as such. Philip comes across as very manipulative and conniving. He wants us to feel sorry for him, implies he’s on the brink of suicide, forgive us for having no sympathy for a stuck up millionaire! He hides behind his sexuality calling all those who criticize him homophobic! What a disgusting thing to do!
I don't like the fact that he's trying to cover up the fact that he had an affair. Whether or not it was legal or immoral, he still cheated on his wife and family.
Apparently friendships in showbizz are worth nothing ... Phillip cheated on his wife. That's a PRIVATE matter! What he did with the young man was a silly mistake. But it's just as bad that Holly supported him and promised to be with him "for ever and ever" and now she is no where to be found. In my opinion that's just as bad as Phillip's mistake.
He is a liar, simple. His emphasis is on making the younger man completely inocent. In my opinion he is doing this to keep the guy from telling the real truth. Imagine how much the media would pay for an interview with Matthew.

I wish people would leave him alone, he didn't have a relationship with a child it was a young man who was of adult age. I'm so sorry that poor Phillip has lost everything because of this. I think he's paid enough of a price. Please let him be at peace as best he can.
Are you serious? He and indeed, Holly, controlled a young man with a diagnosed mental illness, just to be on the "TV". Schofield is a fake, it has been proved, however, Holly was in the know. I would go far enough, with the knowledge that I have found that, Schofield has assaulted under 16's both physically and mentally. How the mighty do fall!
At least Phillip sat down with his family told them he was gay. Family are very understanding supportive. Loving. Phillip come across as a lovely man. Theirs been so many affairs that bosses have had with women in business or possibly television. I hope positive future. Hopefully in the future it will be old news.
That's not the point though. Why has it taken him DECADES for him to just come out of the closet? He had to of known he was gay since at least his teenage years or early 20's, otherwise he should not of married and had kids thus leading them on and playing with their feelings. Sorry, but no matter what decade it was, living a lie is a total idiot's game!
Phill you're a good man who has been through so so much and do not deserve what is happening to you at all. Any judgements and opinions you're getting from people in a negative manner is unbelievable. You have done nothing wrong and no one has the right to pass judgements on anything that went on before you came out or afterwards for that matter as it is no ones business. Your mate you had a couple of flings with says nothing happened while you were underage and you've admitted nothing happened until he was 20...I don't understand how things like this grow legs to even continue on. Are people that bored or insecure with their own lives they pass judgement on someone based on speculation and gossip. Just remember anyone watching this or reading this comment, none of us are perfect and have all made mistakes. Why cost a man a career he loves for what? To sit down in judgement and ruin someones life when it actually is no concern of any of yours and it doesn't affect your life at all, its non of your business and whoever started this should be ashamed. Phill please try and be strong(Kia Kaha) during this and I'm glad you have your girls there for you. There are alot of others out there also who believe in you and we need to boost him back up and get him back doing what he loves and is very good at.
@@melgrant7404 He was upset because the relationship had finished by then Philip said they were just mates he didn't love him but maybe just maybe Matthew did & he was left broken hearted that it had ended. Relationships that end whether in a work place or not there's always one party that takes this badly. I understand they are still friends & so I can't see that he groomed that young man but its out there now & if they both told their lawyers that it was consensual & legal we have to just get on with our lives
@@caroleoneill2872 so if you admit then that they were in a relationship then it's possible that grooming could have been a factor to get to that stage. It certainly was a long friendship.
Philip Schofield met someone when that person was a minor. He got into a sexual relationship with him when that individual was an adult. Replace Philip Schofield with Cheryl Tweedy. Don't get me wrong, I'm not the biggest fan of Phil, but were the same accusations thrown at Cheryl? I can't fathom the reason why not! (sense the sarcasm)
Cheryl wasn't married with children. She wasn't the boss of one direction, and the chap she was with was successful and wealthy independently of her, completely different power dynamics
The young man is innocent here but they did have a consensual relationship when the young man was 20 he had not told his family at that time he was gay. Why do we need to know every waking moment of this affair it was legal end of & no one was groomed.
@@caroleoneill2872He quite literally was groomed. Phil should have known better. Simple as. You dont mess around with people you know from a young age who you've given opportunities to.
@@clinch4402 He did not groom him neither participated in the inquiry about all this either because they didn't want to its none of our business the young man was 20 when relationship started & nothing happened between them no matter how many people think he did, it has been all checked out nothing happened & this is why no Police involvement here he hasn't committed a crime. I also know full well what grooming means
If this were the other way round, if this runner he had an affair with, was a 20 Yr old female, if the legality he talks of is true, He'd be walking the red carpet with his affair. The only reason this is as huge, carrier ending issue, I'd because it's a male on male situation. And before you start shouting and say I'm standing up for a pedo, I said that if he is stating the truth about ages. I stand by what I said tho .if this was a famous man who began a relationship with a 20yr old female, who they had known loosely since they were 15, not a word against it would be uttered.
I really don't see what all the fuss is about , this is about two adults who started seeing eachother and having a relationship, Adults being the operative word here .

This poor man. He has lost everything. I would love to see him back on all the programs he did. It's not the same without him. He did nothing wrong. His so call friends through him under the bus for nothing.
As a gay male in the mid 1980's, Philip Schofield got trapped in a predominantly 'heterosexual' role/environment of television. He then had to either maintain the facade, by marrying or to 'come out'. He chose to do the former. Although this served him for a time, his natural proclivities eventually broke through. It is a lot more difficult to be gay then people suggest. I wouldn't condemn him for being human.
And the Bafta award goes to Philip schofield, he could hardly hold eye contact whilst interviewed . He one minuite was looking desperately sad then he flicked to defensive mode , his body movement keep touching his nose showed hes trying to say something that he didnt know he would get away with it was a risk, . He speech was slow and the gained pace not consistent at all . 1000 per cent I personally don't believe him , once a liar always a liar is the old saying!
The only reason he got found out was the daily mail were to run a story on him .and the young man confessed to his lawyers.he was forced to own up to the affair.other wise why didn't he admit the affair when he first stepped down from this morning not later.
People’s ability to lie to someone’s face is incredible. Lucky for everyone around me I am a terrible liar and cannot think on my feet at all. I can however stay silent and that is my only duplicitous thing I can do
They have both signed the NDA so Philip cannot talk about it either they probably don't want to its none of our business anyway & the relationship started with this young man he was 20 years old it was unwise given he was in a top job but he made a mistake a grave error as he says himself. NDA's do not protect you from prosecution lawyers do not draw them up if there has been any criminality either Its nothing to do with us Matthew wishes to get on with his life they are still friends why would you be friends with someone who grooms you he had plenty of time to go to the Police. ITV would never have paid him 6 months pay 300,000 plus pay for his therapy at the time of the interview he hadn't signed the NDA then this is one just recently when he engaged his lawyer to give Matthew independent advice because after Philip resigned he lost his job & his home the young man didn't know where to turn its not fair on him so he's paid him a 6 figured sum to help this young man get back on his feet again. Its not for us on here to deem him a groomer a paedophile if he was any of them he would have been arrested ages ago
@@melgrant7404 He did not know him from the age of 10 it was 15 he was in a group photo with other people who were at the two faced theatre company one photo does not prove anything Philip was then patron of that company he was there purely to give a lecture on careers in television
Phillip knows he's done wrong but I really do hope he's okay it's not nice to see him so broken he's admitted what he's done people need to stop being so cruel nobody's perfect we've all done thing's we regret in life. I hope people leave him to heal and his true friends and family support him through it. Best wishes to Phil and his family ❤
@@starsigngirl9789That's called "Consequences for actions" not "bullying"....the mental gymnastics you must have went through to come to the conclusion you have is astounding.
18:45 what is up with that cut? What was edited out after he said "it grew legs & it got bigger & bigger" I don't think they should be cutting parts out.
Philip your better than that, reinvent yourself again, you sing, dance, host TV shows and many of the public still love you man, we all mess-up time and time again, so your no stranger on that account believe me mate. Philip you've got loads of talent; you were great in Joeseph and his multi coloured coat, yes it was a few years ago so what when you've got it you've got it consider Al Jolson inactive for a few years, yet when he came back, he was bigger than he had ever been. Yes, I'm a big Jolly fan I grew up with Jolly blasting out of our old record player most days happy childhood times for me then in the early 1960's as a kid. I hear your pain, in your You-Tube podcast, let go of your rage, hate takes us all down man, you have so much potential, there's greatness in you my friend, what is it they say? Don't let the ******ds grind you down! Go back to what worked, theatre, TV, You-Tube podcasts, walk away from those that take pleasure in hurting you, that's their problems, your too talented to let these troubled individuals mess with you. Drugs and alcohol are addictive, if your taken them stop by saying and meaning 'NO MORE' I'm sure your childhood was pretty cool without alcohol and drugs, adjustment like the steering wheel of your car, it takes courage to clean yourself up, if it was so easy we'd all be doing it right! Life is hard, there'll always be someone who dislikes you, isn't that the truth, live with self-improvement in mind, life is series of challenges, everyone is weak, in one-way or another there is only fleeting moments of clarity in life for us all. Philip I'm not one of those religious bible bashers, but I've learned how to adjust my life to heartache and deception, if you've got someone close maybe they can help you to adapt and change, where you yourself know you need to go, you have a great screen persona, I hope your life can adjust, and your theatrical agent gets you some work. Good luck on your potential amazing career jump start. Warmest regards Colt1911 and Melissa she types for me.
Love how when asked what exactly he thinks he did wrong he said “I kissed someone in the workplace” no mention of his wife and kids total liar has groomer written all over him, and another point of all his 11,300/11,400 followers on Twitter the only person who ever messaged him about a job in Tv that he replied too was only one 15 year old boy!!!! Total bill shit
He spoke to many many youngsters about careers in television he did not groom him & had he done he would have been arrested by now. How does anyone know he is lying you can see he is broken about one mistake I wish people would stop making this in to something it is not
Who knows the truth. If he was over 18, it's as simple as that, it's legal. If he was under 18 when they had any intimate contact, he has to be behind bars and registered as a sex offender. I don't know what to believe.
I'm watching this feel for Phillip.. he had a workplace fling. So what two consenting adults. To be treated so badly by the press etc. Don't we all make mistakes. Hope he comes back from this.
Lies always come out in the less unexpected moment, he must take a big lesson from that experience. If it's true what have been said about his terrible behaviour, bullying people in his work place and acting like he had God's syndrome, maybe what's going on now it's price he's paying. Everyone knows saying what goes around comes around... People who have been giving him hell , must remember nobody is perfect and hate is horrible thing. He was already punished.
If he fucked away off out of the public eye he’d be grand, but he isn’t; he keeps trying to sway public opinion and it’s making him look like a bigger tosser.
Notice how he contradicts himself at the very beginning, says he's lost everything, yet his daughters were there for him. So he didn't lose anything... he has his family which is all that matters.
Not saying this guy's innocent or that the BBC aren't handling this in a strange way but the comments on here show just how judgemental people can be based on their feelings. Yes it's all a very strange and suspicious and I'm very skeptical about his testimony and the way the BBC has treated it but not every thing is as clear as it sometimes seems and no nobody this Chanel has actually the evidence to make any kind of verdict. Would love to hear a take on his body language. Possibly some fake sadness going on at the beginning.
You know, that's exactly what I felt! He's acting! I never want to doubt someone when they say they are suicidal but I thought it a very cheap n sneaky thing to mention Caroline Flack, I mean he's actually completely right! But why didn't it sit well with me when he said it? I dunno, technically so far there is no crime and at the moment I'd say this is a complete witch hunt and a huge over reaction! But I feel like he is putting on a performance and why would he need to do that if he's telling the truth? Something just doesn't feel right? And this is coming from someone who is a fan of phlip?! And you're right! Roo many people are saying he's lying, but I totally agree with you! After watching this and having watched his charismatic, lovable persona over the years, it's like night n day?! He does seem to have all the markings of a Narcissist! Oh well, truth will out!
what annoys me a bit is that he puts himself in the limelight with everything. Even then when he came out he could have just said "hey, I'm living with a man now. period." just like women before him said "hey I'm with a woman now". but no, he makes a big drama as if we were in the 60s sitting there on the couch like a poodle and you could think he would admit to a big crime. he always dramatizes everything like in a theatre.
He clearly doesnt think hes done anything wrong and everyone is so, so cruel for judging him and will cause his suicide, everyone is homophobic and if this was a hetrosexual relationship it wouldnt have blown up the way it has, er, sorry Phil, I think if you had been communicating with a 15 year old girl over twitter, got her a job, taken her out for romantic lunches and then started a sexual relatiinship with her a few weeks after she began said job, your interview might now be taking place in a courtroom!
Didn’t happen to Cheryl Cole who dated Liam Payne and knew him since he was 14, did it? Last I checked that was a heterosexual relationship. I think what you meant to say was ‘man’, as women get away with it just as much.
While I don't condone Schofield for his arrogant 'you can't touch me' behaviour..I really can't see why he should lose everything, as he said,"you'd think I was Jack The Ripper"..its true he messed up big time but he shouldn't be treated like this..its appalling!
@Jamie Saunders that's not quite right. It is building a relationship of trust and some kind of emotional connection. This is in order to abuse or manipulate them later on. The victim will say its consensual. They are made to feel special. The reality is often very different. People can be groomed at any age. Whatever the truth he did abuse his position and there was a power differential between these individuals. Clearly this affected the young man as he seems to have abandoned his dreams and now works in a pub in the countryside.
@@jackcarter1897 whilst I agree LP was young. They didn't date at that stage as she was married..the age gap was 10 yrs not 34 yrs. LP came back onto the programme a few years later and that's when they started to get to know each other. He had been in a 2 year relationship which had just ended. So he wasn't completely naive.
Fern Britton left this morning a bit sharpish now we know why. Also we all have mates but we don't go buggering them. He didn't do anything wrong? Bet his WIFE would have something to say about that.
The way he called the kid massively talented was so creepy. I bet he’s done this countless times. Of course he’s gonna act all innocent during a TV interview. It’s amazing to see how easily people are fooled. It’s clear the interview is meant to make him look good and appear to be sorry
Give him a break fgs he has not been charged with any crimes his mental state is a rock bottom & he has apologised to us all. The man was 20 when they had relationship this is classed as an adult.
@@caroleoneill2872there is a VIDEO we’re he was caught red handed with the very young lad, the lad was most definitely NOT 20, a RUclips vlogger was at the same eatery and was celebrating hitting a milestone of subscribers and was kneeling in the floor and said ‘hello Phil’ Phil was a man very very annoyed and very embarrassed as was the lad who tried to cower, please do not insult people by posting what you did when people have seen the video for themselves for goodness sake, there is no excusing this and he alone will have to live with the ness he created and the lies he has told, only person I feel sorry for his his mom, she now has two sons who have brought her shame, his family can heal each other, his poor mum is the one needs the most support
I know what you mean Pamela I happen to like the man I cannot see what he has done wrong other than lie everyone lies when having affairs Its about this young mans private life he's 27 now & just wants all this to go away. They both denied it anyway what's anyone going to do now I certainly don't think he groomed him & I wish him well too
Yuck 🤢, Ugh the way he even starts this interview is so inauthentic. Clearly rehearsed. His delusional is quite stark that he believes he deserves sympathy.
Very strange how he lost everything with having a relationship at work with someone, the whole thing was consensual, he wasn't under age, the young man was 20, so why has everyone turned on him? How many people have affairs at work? I know its not morally right but it's not illegal! I think Philip hasn't been that nice at work so colleagues have jumped on this to get him out of TV, it seems "IF" Philip had been nicer at work then he would of been forgiven and supported and would still have his job. Did the young man in question want more and Philip didn't, that's why the young man's head was so messed up? I hope Philip finds true happiness, I hope his wife does and the young man has a great life doing what he's doing too. Nobody wins in a situation like this so if happiness can be found at all, then that's a good thing. ❤
So he was conversing about his sexuality with the young man before coming out?
Then look at Cheryl Cole. Little boy from One Direction was 14 when she met him 🤷♀️🤷♀️
She didn’t bang him at 14 though did she ? Whereas Philly boy had a production line of young boy interns all arranged for himself
Very true
So what? It's wrong to have a relationship with a 14 year old when you are an adult. End of story. And you don't discuss anything to do with your personal life with a 14 year old. He uses this pathetic excuse of working in TV, but this is just basic respect for young people wherever you work.
@@michaelaandrews9767obviously the point he is trying to make is that if had been with a younger woman, there would be no scrutiny.
Thank you for uploading this!
I’m sorry, but Pip wasn’t “really in a mess with his sexuality” when he first went with this young man because he was openly dating men way back when he was Joseph in J and the Technicolour Dreamcoat. Phil should have come clean as soon as this lad was going to spill the beans, and I mean REALLY tell the truth - the whole truth. He has kept his sexuality “hidden” from Joe Public to protect his squeaky clean, married man, daytime image, when in fact, he’s been an active homosexual with a wife and children for decades.
if he was under 16 and philip did anything sexual he is now classed as a pedofile

@@enricodearie45 Yes. I have. And strange if that amuses you. I just think there’s no shame in him telling the truth and being the real him.
Well, if that's true he certainly wasn't the first. Either to keep up the picture of his picture perfect life with wife and children OR to hide his sexuality. In fact I see no big deal in this. He cheated on his wife and that's a PRIVATE matter!

He is nothing like Prince Andrew.
Cheryl Cole dates Liam Payne who she met at 14. Leonardo DiCaprio has a new girlfriend every month who’s 18. Boris Johnson’s wife is many, many years his junior. Nobody bats an eye. If the issue is that he lied, fair enough. But to make an issue out of the age difference, consider what we accept patently in society amongst our straight peers before holding him to a higher standard than that.

Oh god leave them alone! If they want to have a relationship, it's none of our business.
You think it’s ok for a old man to speak and groom a child from the age off 15
Amol ranjan interviewed Philip brilliantly, he was professional and respectful.
I bet he’ll be coming out the closet next
Had he interviewed Andrew Tate it's questionable whether the same courtesy would've shown...typical mainstream media protecting a monster
I agree he was/is an excellent interviewer !
Bit late to this story but whats the fuss about? He had a relationship with a guy that was 20, so whats the problem? Am I missing something?
You're not missing anything. He's done nothing wrong.
@@splinterbyrdI think that's where the problem comes in. Now, there have been many allegations that Schofield was very unpleasant towards a handful of people who worked or were interviewed on the programme, and people have said the same thing about Holly Willoughby, one such example being a comment on another video about this scandal where a person said that they knew a girl who was often bullied by Holly when they were teenagers. Now I'm not saying that this is 100% true, but it is very believable considering how many people have came out and said that these two were very unpleasant and obnoxious with others, such as Eamon Holmes or Kim Woodburn.
But to be fair, although Schofield has had an affair, which he should never have done, at least the man he did it with was, yes a lot younger, but also over the age of consent. Of course, they met when he was still a young boy, yes, and when you look at it that way it's very creepy, but it's not like he's the next Savile, is it?
@@humphreyjohnstone6783 I suspect that's a great deal of what this is really about. Media is an extremely competitive cut-throat profession and there's probably alot of people there who just didn't like him.
I got the impression that was also true of Rolf Harris and even to an extent with Jimmy Savile
@@splinterbyrd Yes. The media does take things a little bit too far. Of course, what Saville did was much more evil and vile compared to Schofield, but I know various people who compared Schofield to being the new Saville because of what they read in the media. It's ridiculous.
Yes. He met him when he was 15, which is a massive power imbalance. He didn't meet the guy at 20. I think 20 is too young anyway - no, I'm not a prude, it's just a big ego trip for the older person, puke.
A friend of mine who at the time was at University studying media and journalism asked Phillip if she could do a work placement at This Morning and he said no. She was an outstanding student who now has a very successful media career, Phil told her that work placement choices were nothing to do with him. Her tutor gave her PS’s contact details because Phil had helped several other students from the same university course get work experience before. The only difference in her case was that all of the interns that Phillip had helped previously were young men. Strangely enough a few weeks later a young man doing the same course contacted Phillip and he was only too happy to pull some strings to get him a work experience slot after requesting a picture of the student. My friend who now knows people who work behind the scenes at TM was told that PS has had a string of young male student interns. Many of which were specifically engaged as PS’s personal assistants and their duties extended outside of the This Morning workplace. All had to sign NDA’s.
I 100% can believe this…the fact that he refuses to disclose wether or not he’s had other gay relationships/sexual encounters there’s more to come in all of this
Oh Lord if this is true it's looking like a very long day for Philip Schofield
Oh this isn’t the first story I’ve heard either. And this week it’s come out there was an NDA and a payoff
Says you?
I guess no one is mentioning how good this interviewer is, the way he was just shutting down Philip whenever he went down the emotional road, he would jab him with another intrusive question to psychologically break him down.
I know it’s his job, but he’s great at it!
Why are you backing a nonce? So disturbing to see so many people are caring this pedo and groomer

Because Schofield's married. But if he'd been single nothing wrong at all
This young man was an adult at 20 you are no longer classed as a child or boy just because he knew him from 15 it was still a legal relationship because he was over 18

what Tate says in a recent vid about how the press treat him compared to Mr Schofield; stark difference. Like we should feel sorry for poor Philip. He's such a martyr. He showed similar mannerisms to the prince when he got questioned by Emily Maitlis.

@@michellethomas8042what's wrong is they're throwing soft balls. Easy questions and painting him out the victim.

Just wondering, if this is the full interview as titled, why is it cut/edited at 18:43 and at 30:24 and 34:37?! What was cut out?
I just posted the same about the 18:43 cut.
In my opinion every time he reply’s, NO.. GOD NO. I feel he is lying.. he’s lied to everyone for years so I just don’t believe what he is saying now and just feel he’s trying to play everything down

Man sleeps with 20-year-old man shocker! What did he do wrong? Yes, morally he had an affair that was wrong, but, people are acting like he committed a crime - he didn’t. If sleeping with a 20-year-old is a crime, then, we are all - or have been - guilty!

He met when he was a kid. There are suggestions it had been going on longer than stated.
It must be pretty gross for the 20 year old though!
@@danh5637 Meeting a person when there a kid does not imply grooming Philip is being accused of something that he has not done & the recent NDA does not protect you from the law Police could go in and arrest at anytime if he had groomed this young man. However no one gets arrested on gossip & rumor mongering or suggestions there has to be proof of grooming & there is none quite frankly
@@caroleoneill2872 so he meets the kid at a school play. And then goes above and beyond to make sure he gets a tv runners job and then is swiftly promoted all on the show he works on. All the while keeping “secret” they’re having an affair. Yeah nothing to see here.
Unless a crime has been committed or someone involved has pursued this in court...any comments by anyone on the matter is SLANDER.
Why would you mention the word SLANDER?? Surely the word you need to use is ABUSE????
Cheryl Cole did the same as Philip yet people are branding him as a some sort of sex pest ....its shocking the lad was over age and it was consensual
Was Cheryl married with kids? Was she grooming Liam?
but i think Cheryl Cole is sus too
Realistically until that man comes out and says his side we won't know if he was groomed because we don't know how the conversations went. Him talking to the boy normally is not immediately grooming, grooming has to be specific in its nature of preparing to make a move on a minor like if their convos were on stuff like "what's it like behind the scenes" "well kid behind the scenes is like xyz.." that's not grooming if it was like "oh I can get you a job on this morning you know, wouldn't that be something you'd owe me a ton if I did that wouldn't you, how do you think you could repay me", that is grooming its covertly sexual in nature and getting the minor ready for you to approach in a sexual manner. People have had mentors since the beginning of time and that's not grooming is it. Talking to minors is always messy just don't do it if you don't want to be called a pedo
Thanks a million for clearing that up.
They were not dating when he was a minor.
If this had been a girl, Phil wouldn't even have responded. I agree.. Just don't talk to minors. And I don't believe him

He is a liar, simple. His emphasis is on making the younger man completely inocent. In my opinion he is doing this to keep the guy from telling the real truth. Imagine how much the media would pay for an interview with Matthew.

Are you serious? He and indeed, Holly, controlled a young man with a diagnosed mental illness, just to be on the "TV". Schofield is a fake, it has been proved, however, Holly was in the know. I would go far enough, with the knowledge that I have found that, Schofield has assaulted under 16's both physically and mentally. How the mighty do fall!
Everyone loved him especially Phil 😂

"19 by then" lol...
At least Phillip sat down with his family told them he was gay. Family are very understanding supportive. Loving. Phillip come across as a lovely man. Theirs been so many affairs that bosses have had with women in business or possibly television. I hope positive future. Hopefully in the future it will be old news.
That's not the point though. Why has it taken him DECADES for him to just come out of the closet? He had to of known he was gay since at least his teenage years or early 20's, otherwise he should not of married and had kids thus leading them on and playing with their feelings. Sorry, but no matter what decade it was, living a lie is a total idiot's game!

Phill you're a good man who has been through so so much and do not deserve what is happening to you at all. Any judgements and opinions you're getting from people in a negative manner is unbelievable. You have done nothing wrong and no one has the right to pass judgements on anything that went on before you came out or afterwards for that matter as it is no ones business. Your mate you had a couple of flings with says nothing happened while you were underage and you've admitted nothing happened until he was 20...I don't understand how things like this grow legs to even continue on. Are people that bored or insecure with their own lives they pass judgement on someone based on speculation and gossip. Just remember anyone watching this or reading this comment, none of us are perfect and have all made mistakes. Why cost a man a career he loves for what? To sit down in judgement and ruin someones life when it actually is no concern of any of yours and it doesn't affect your life at all, its non of your business and whoever started this should be ashamed. Phill please try and be strong(Kia Kaha) during this and I'm glad you have your girls there for you. There are alot of others out there also who believe in you and we need to boost him back up and get him back doing what he loves and is very good at.

As a gay male in the mid 1980's, Philip Schofield got trapped in a predominantly 'heterosexual' role/environment of television. He then had to either maintain the facade, by marrying or to 'come out'. He chose to do the former. Although this served him for a time, his natural proclivities eventually broke through. It is a lot more difficult to be gay then people suggest. I wouldn't condemn him for being human.
And the Bafta award goes to Philip schofield, he could hardly hold eye contact whilst interviewed . He one minuite was looking desperately sad then he flicked to defensive mode , his body movement keep touching his nose showed hes trying to say something that he didnt know he would get away with it was a risk, . He speech was slow and the gained pace not consistent at all . 1000 per cent I personally don't believe him , once a liar always a liar is the old saying!
He’s so melodramatic
The only reason he got found out was the daily mail were to run a story on him .and the young man confessed to his lawyers.he was forced to own up to the affair.other wise why didn't he admit the affair when he first stepped down from this morning not later.

They have both signed the NDA so Philip cannot talk about it either they probably don't want to its none of our business anyway & the relationship started with this young man he was 20 years old it was unwise given he was in a top job but he made a mistake a grave error as he says himself. NDA's do not protect you from prosecution lawyers do not draw them up if there has been any criminality either Its nothing to do with us Matthew wishes to get on with his life they are still friends why would you be friends with someone who grooms you he had plenty of time to go to the Police. ITV would never have paid him 6 months pay 300,000 plus pay for his therapy at the time of the interview he hadn't signed the NDA then this is one just recently when he engaged his lawyer to give Matthew independent advice because after Philip resigned he lost his job & his home the young man didn't know where to turn its not fair on him so he's paid him a 6 figured sum to help this young man get back on his feet again.

I hear your pain, in your You-Tube podcast, let go of your rage, hate takes us all down man, you have so much potential, there's greatness in you my friend, what is it they say? Don't let the ******ds grind you down!
Go back to what worked, theatre, TV, You-Tube podcasts, walk away from those that take pleasure in hurting you, that's their problems, your too talented to let these troubled individuals mess with you.
Drugs and alcohol are addictive, if your taken them stop by saying and meaning 'NO MORE' I'm sure your childhood was pretty cool without alcohol and drugs, adjustment like the steering wheel of your car, it takes courage to clean yourself up, if it was so easy we'd all be doing it right!
Life is hard, there'll always be someone who dislikes you, isn't that the truth, live with self-improvement in mind, life is series of challenges, everyone is weak, in one-way or another there is only fleeting moments of clarity in life for us all.
Philip I'm not one of those religious bible bashers, but I've learned how to adjust my life to heartache and deception, if you've got someone close maybe they can help you to adapt and change, where you yourself know you need to go, you have a great screen persona, I hope your life can adjust, and your theatrical agent gets you some work.
Good luck on your potential amazing career jump start.
Warmest regards Colt1911 and Melissa she types for me.
"people find different age groups attractive" extremely dangerous thinking when we consider the youth. smh...
Love how when asked what exactly he thinks he did wrong he said “I kissed someone in the workplace” no mention of his wife and kids total liar has groomer written all over him, and another point of all his 11,300/11,400 followers on Twitter the only person who ever messaged him about a job in Tv that he replied too was only one 15 year old boy!!!! Total bill shit
He spoke to many many youngsters about careers in television he did not groom him & had he done he would have been arrested by now. How does anyone know he is lying you can see he is broken about one mistake I wish people would stop making this in to something it is not
God No!! 😮
😂😂😂
I like the interviewer... Great voice!
What a narcissist? he has his family so he hasn’t loss everything!
Who knows the truth. If he was over 18, it's as simple as that, it's legal. If he was under 18 when they had any intimate contact, he has to be behind bars and registered as a sex offender. I don't know what to believe.
16 not 18?
@thebehaviourpanel, if you havent already covered this, it would be great if you could.
I'm watching this feel for Phillip.. he had a workplace fling. So what two consenting adults. To be treated so badly by the press etc. Don't we all make mistakes. Hope he comes back from this.
Great guy love you Philip stay strong man
Yes this have to stopp stay strong Phillip
If nothing took place at Philips flat where did it take place then .apart from at the itv studios.
Lies always come out in the less unexpected moment, he must take a big lesson from that experience. If it's true what have been said about his terrible behaviour, bullying people in his work place and acting like he had God's syndrome, maybe what's going on now it's price he's paying. Everyone knows saying what goes around comes around...
People who have been giving him hell , must remember nobody is perfect and hate is horrible thing. He was already punished.
If he fucked away off out of the public eye he’d be grand, but he isn’t; he keeps trying to sway public opinion and it’s making him look like a bigger tosser.
Lies about 20 you mean?
Blah blah blah. Mean at work or not. The dude is just a Nonce
Just know he has done worse. Wayy worse. WAYYYYY WORSEEE!!!!!! Beyond comprehension just like the rest of them
He has not been punished.
Getting Prince Andrew vibes watching this
Notice how he contradicts himself at the very beginning, says he's lost everything, yet his daughters were there for him. So he didn't lose anything... he has his family which is all that matters.
Not saying this guy's innocent or that the BBC aren't handling this in a strange way but the comments on here show just how judgemental people can be based on their feelings. Yes it's all a very strange and suspicious and I'm very skeptical about his testimony and the way the BBC has treated it but not every thing is as clear as it sometimes seems and no nobody this Chanel has actually the evidence to make any kind of verdict. Would love to hear a take on his body language. Possibly some fake sadness going on at the beginning.
Clearly lying all the way through. Everyone else can not be wrong. Mme me me. Must be a narsasist
You know, that's exactly what I felt! He's acting! I never want to doubt someone when they say they are suicidal but I thought it a very cheap n sneaky thing to mention Caroline Flack, I mean he's actually completely right! But why didn't it sit well with me when he said it? I dunno, technically so far there is no crime and at the moment I'd say this is a complete witch hunt and a huge over reaction! But I feel like he is putting on a performance and why would he need to do that if he's telling the truth? Something just doesn't feel right? And this is coming from someone who is a fan of phlip?! And you're right! Roo many people are saying he's lying, but I totally agree with you! After watching this and having watched his charismatic, lovable persona over the years, it's like night n day?! He does seem to have all the markings of a Narcissist!
Oh well, truth will out!
what annoys me a bit is that he puts himself in the limelight with everything. Even then when he came out he could have just said "hey, I'm living with a man now. period." just like women before him said "hey I'm with a woman now". but no, he makes a big drama as if we were in the 60s sitting there on the couch like a poodle and you could think he would admit to a big crime. he always dramatizes everything like in a theatre.
😂
Protect the children
Philip has to be grateful in a situation like this, he has certainly found out who his true friends are.....
When asked why he thinks he did wrong, he didnt mention his poor wife
He clearly doesnt think hes done anything wrong and everyone is so, so cruel for judging him and will cause his suicide, everyone is homophobic and if this was a hetrosexual relationship it wouldnt have blown up the way it has, er, sorry Phil, I think if you had been communicating with a 15 year old girl over twitter, got her a job, taken her out for romantic lunches and then started a sexual relatiinship with her a few weeks after she began said job, your interview might now be taking place in a courtroom!
Didn’t happen to Cheryl Cole who dated Liam Payne and knew him since he was 14, did it? Last I checked that was a heterosexual relationship. I think what you meant to say was ‘man’, as women get away with it just as much.
While I don't condone Schofield for his arrogant 'you can't touch me' behaviour..I really can't see why he should lose everything, as he said,"you'd think I was Jack The Ripper"..its true he messed up big time but he shouldn't be treated like this..its appalling!
@Jamie Saunders that's not quite right. It is building a relationship of trust and some kind of emotional connection. This is in order to abuse or manipulate them later on. The victim will say its consensual. They are made to feel special. The reality is often very different. People can be groomed at any age. Whatever the truth he did abuse his position and there was a power differential between these individuals. Clearly this affected the young man as he seems to have abandoned his dreams and now works in a pub in the countryside.
@@kenpudsey6435 it wasn't just a bit of bad behaviour. Since Jimmy Saville people are more alert to the idea of abuse.
@@jackcarter1897 whilst I agree LP was young. They didn't date at that stage as she was married..the age gap was 10 yrs not 34 yrs. LP came back onto the programme a few years later and that's when they started to get to know each other. He had been in a 2 year relationship which had just ended. So he wasn't completely naive.
His millions will soften the blow
Fern Britton left this morning a bit sharpish now we know why.
Also we all have mates but we don't go buggering them.
He didn't do anything wrong? Bet his WIFE would have something to say about that.
His wife knew he is a paedophile. They all knew
The way he called the kid massively talented was so creepy. I bet he’s done this countless times. Of course he’s gonna act all innocent during a TV interview. It’s amazing to see how easily people are fooled. It’s clear the interview is meant to make him look good and appear to be sorry
Exactly that!
Yes
Give him a break fgs he has not been charged with any crimes his mental state is a rock bottom & he has apologised to us all. The man was 20 when they had relationship this is classed as an adult.
@@caroleoneill2872there is a VIDEO we’re he was caught red handed with the very young lad, the lad was most definitely NOT 20, a RUclips vlogger was at the same eatery and was celebrating hitting a milestone of subscribers and was kneeling in the floor and said ‘hello Phil’ Phil was a man very very annoyed and very embarrassed as was the lad who tried to cower, please do not insult people by posting what you did when people have seen the video for themselves for goodness sake, there is no excusing this and he alone will have to live with the ness he created and the lies he has told, only person I feel sorry for his his mom, she now has two sons who have brought her shame, his family can heal each other, his poor mum is the one needs the most support
I do wish people wouldn't speculate, remember people in glasses houses shouldn't throw stones.
Your speculating that the people speculating live in glass houses.
I know what you mean Pamela I happen to like the man I cannot see what he has done wrong other than lie everyone lies when having affairs Its about this young mans private life he's 27 now & just wants all this to go away. They both denied it anyway what's anyone going to do now I certainly don't think he groomed him & I wish him well too
You can tell he's lying, he's blinking and stuttering like there's no tomorrow...
How is he the most sorry to his teenage fling??
Not his wife and his daughters and his family…..
Pity it wasn’t Eammon doing this interview……he knows where the bodies are buried 😂
Yuck 🤢, Ugh the way he even starts this interview is so inauthentic. Clearly rehearsed. His delusional is quite stark that he believes he deserves sympathy.
Very strange how he lost everything with having a relationship at work with someone, the whole thing was consensual, he wasn't under age, the young man was 20, so why has everyone turned on him?
How many people have affairs at work? I know its not morally right but it's not illegal!
I think Philip hasn't been that nice at work so colleagues have jumped on this to get him out of TV, it seems "IF" Philip had been nicer at work then he would of been forgiven and supported and would still have his job.
Did the young man in question want more and Philip didn't, that's why the young man's head was so messed up?
I hope Philip finds true happiness, I hope his wife does and the young man has a great life doing what he's doing too.
Nobody wins in a situation like this so if happiness can be found at all, then that's a good thing. ❤
Why is it so quiet at the end?
How did this all come to be known? He would have been happy with it being swept under the rug. What did he mean by saying it got too big?
Daily mail were to run the story and the boy confessed.phil had no choice but to do the same.
