Good thing the text was covered for half the video or I'd know what had happened.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
dont put up text and then cover half of it ffs
Exactly
Yeah, that was super annoying.
Huh. It didn't bother me
@@ronakdas714 thanks
I cant read the subtitles because you put a bloody video link in the way at the end great work
@@ronakdas714 nerd
I gave it a down vote because of that. I hate these "ads" for other videos at the end of a video. Usually there is one on each side so you can't read the text. Aren't the people who make these videos aware of this ??? A reading a half sentence on several of the timelines made no sense at all.
If anyone can read at that fast enough, you have my respect.
Quite !
They do it on purpose so you have to rewatch and they get more views
Can't read your writings as you have put adverts in both corners!
So annoying
Exactly!
it is annoying but that happens for all TH-cam videos in the last 15 seconds... not the channels fault, its just how the platform is.
Soo....what did he do wrong? Have a consensual relationship with an adult?
I feel like we've really lost the plot here if this is supposed to make us feel outraged.
Schofield is accused of grooming the boyfriend, an ITV employee, beginning in his teen years. But yes, if the kid was 18, not illegal.
Yeah, grooming at its finest!
Moving on from having to pause this every 2 seconds to read that "timeline"....I remain stunned that after years of doing his job and being entertaining to so many in the wee hours, his life, career, friendships are over because of he's having a sexual relationship with a younger man...even if he was much younger. He was not, to anyone's knowledge, with a minor...just someone younger. I have been wondering where his voice is in all this...after all, he is an adult. I am confused where the "scandal" is in all this and, which is so typical of we in the UK, there has been nothing posted for a month or so...as our penchant for scandals moved on to something or someone else. I also have NO idea what their "jumping queue" at the Queen's lying in state has to do with any of the rest of it. Indeed, the only fact I can take away from it all is that Holly Willoughby is a crap friend and is saving her own skin, seemingly, while throwing her "friend" under the bus for having an affair. I am glad, surely, that she is not nor wold ever be, a friend of mine or anyone I know. It's all just sad and sordid and corrupt and corporate and futile....OK, who's next?
They groomed a then 15 year old man info a romantic relationship and work relationship. Unethical and immoral, violates HR laws and is gross to prepare a child for a future relationship.
I totally agree. People don’t think that he had any extramaritals going on while he was married and in the closet for 30 years? That lacks all common sense. On top of which there are much worse people in the public eye in Britain that never have to atone for the shitty things they do.
Exactly! About 50% of people cheat on their partners at least once in their lifetime. Are we supposed to cancel everybody's career now? Why is this relevant to his job? So what, he cheated? Statistically, at least one other person on the cast of This Morning has done so!
so... what exactly is this all about? he had an affair, and work conditions were difficult afterwards? is that it? and why is this important?
MPs to question ITV for tips on how to cover up for so long...
Could you not hire someone to read this out? What’s the point of it being a video
Can someone please explain why any of this is any of our business and why having a young male lover is grounds for being ostracised from society? I understand if people find it to be juicy gossip, but in what way exactly did Mr.Schofields actions concern ITV and/or the British people?
This man was a television God and it has all come crumbling down so quickly.
I honestly feel sorry for him but I think the media is trying to link the actions of his brother with him. He got a kid his own show reel with no experience nor qualifications - big red flag then paid him off another red flag.
Here is what he should have done Not helped some strange kid get on his show, leave the kid alone and find an age appropriate man to have a relationship with and gone on the Rupaul drag race as a guest speaker. Hell he could of found his lover on that show. The papers would have celebrated for him.
@@justcheryl5568 The Guy was 15 years old!! That's why people are mad... There is a word for people like that and you know exactly what it is
@@Lord-Griff lol 15? Prove it
Jimmy saville again
15year old victim
cant read the timeline when u put the logos up
It is stupid putting 'next video blocks' that prevent me from reading what can only be read. Fire the producer.
I would like to put forward Lucy Verasamy as the co presenter along side holly willoughby for This Morning.
They left out the brother, great journalists lol
What does his brother have to do with what he did? He has no control over the actions of anyone but himself.
Can’t read with all that ads
the amount of men that have cheated on their wives and have kept on going with their jobs.. i mean what he did was bad but i would have liked him to be one of those
While everyone is touting acceptance of relationships in any form those in the media are criticized and expelled from their jobs that did remarkably well for a very long time. It's all very hypocritical to me.
I've heard that he is now working for a Fudge Packing Factory...
How is this not his personal business?
This goes WAAAYYYY too fast. Need to slow your roll.
They do it on purpose so you have to rewatch and they get more views
How are we supposed to read your already fast subtitles when a huge box with trumps face appears over it before the end of of Clip, attempting to promote what we should watch? Why allow that while the time line info still had another 3 updates to go. All which I couldn’t read. Muppets!
They do it on purpose so you have to rewatch and they get more views
Weather he ever works in TV again he doesn't have to worry about signing on !
Phillip should take on board that no one is indispensable. Where there is a gap, it will be filled. By this time next month, he will be all but forgotten. It’s not the end, it’s a new beginning. He is a rich man, and every dog has his day.
I imagine he knows all about filling gaps
It is now a month ahead and it would seem it all has as predicted...moved on as nothing has been posted about him for about a month...as it is not a scandal nor even a footnote of scandal...it was an older man and a younger man having an affair and a friend who threw the older man under a bus...it would seem. Now, let's talk about the Duchess of York having put on a stone..! Now that is a scandal, indeed.
Too fast to read
They do it on purpose so you have to rewatch and they get more views
I’m shocked because I had no clue he was married or hêtęrœ. How is anyone even remotely shocked or bothered by this “new revelation”? Surely his wife knew and likely agreed to marry him despite knowing his preferences. She was in a win win situation. Marriages are essentially partnerships and she was on the winning end of the bargain. Separate lives but shared income, resources and notoriety. Whats not to like? He hasn’t committed a punishable offense just adültèry? Although I think she knew, so was it really? Fraternizing with a subordinate in the workplace is frowned upon as it can be construed as coercive. So that and lying? Good grief. I suppose he should’ve just come out like so many others and he’d still have his job. The lying and secrecy is why he’s being criticized and ostracized. #justliveyourtruth
I'm a little confused. What does him being gay have to do with Holly?
She is a man.
@@BeeRich33 I'd laugh, but this is 2023....
@@BeeRich33 She's not trans right? wait what
Who was the brilliant editor covering the text so we can’t read it? We get it, you have other videos… I guess quality control isn’t part of this job either!
Who reads this fast? 😂

Old king charlie does like to hang around the groomers, saville, schofield and andrew!
Really annoying you've placed you're logo and a click through link over the text half way through the video making it impossible to read the information and making watching the video in the first place pointless
_Groomer Schofield on a date with the boy 9 YEARS AGO:_ th-cam.com/video/Z_xc1sPioP4/w-d-xo.html
What has he done wrong? Had an affair which millions do all the time..not with a minor so whats the issue? I am struggling to see what he has done?
Since when do we end peoples career over personal problems? 50% of people cheat on their partners once in their lifetime. Are we supposed to cancel the careers of half of the population now? Where do we put all those unemployed people? Wtf is happening?????
Next video button came up couldn’t read the last 3 points 😬
So… a grown man had an affair with another grown man and now the UK is having a meltdown. Am I missing something?
homophobia, I think
Exactly... They are saying he groomed the boy... my god...people act like young people have no minds of their own . Stay well clear away from young people or people will call you a groomer.... meanwhile.. the country is in tatters but you know two man having consensual affairs is a HUGE problem
🤦🤦🤦 Time to get elementary.. Pervert Schofield was grooming young boys for years and having sex with them.
@@betabenja It's not homophobia, it's disgraceful how he's treated his wife and the media are praising him like he's done something brave and good. His wife is probably distraught being told to stand, smile and applaud the man who destroyed his family.
@@SpareSomeChange8080 I didn't notice anyone praising him. I did notice a lot of people being excessively interested in something that really is nothing to do with them even if they have opinions on the matter. like you, it seems. now why is that? do you get excessively interested in everyone's affairs? or just this guy's? doesn't everyone suffer? or are you making this one specifically worse by concentrating everyone's attention on it?
So they praise the groomer an lock up tate 😢
Was ready to compliment the maker of this "Straight To The Point" video... UNTIL the last segment with "Karine Jean-Pierre" blocking the text :(
Bet this is all about money
45 years ago he got a job as MR PERFECT and ACTED that role despite his real life being totally different.
45 years ago!?
He didn’t get a job as MR PERFECT, he got a job as a TV presenter (35 years ago, not 45). Get a grip.
@@therealjetlag it’s over for this dude. Have a day off fan boi 😉
@@djdoolittle1315 grow up. Affairs aren’t illegal. 🙄
@@dewilew2137 Combing ten year old boys is illegal. Face it fanboy
I dont get it, what is the scandal? was the "much younger male collegue" underage? If not, I see no reason for anyone to be upset about anything. Sounds to me like its just some random marriage stuff.
Tate is king
I'm not listening to any of the rubbish as no crime was ever committed and he says it was wrong and felt extremely low about the situation. It's , his friends and colleagues that he lied to and so would l after the way he's being treated. . Surly he could not open up or told anyone , if this is an example of the way he's being treated its horrible , He's hosted our TV for years and has a squeaky clean reputation. Please allow him to come clean, if he wants to and he has done and please , forgive and forget. He's only shamed himself but so much gossip over this, its ridiculous and some very nasty comments from friends and colleagues, that shocked me more !! Enough is enough. Leave him along ...Be kind and give him support!! ❤
Would you still want to give him support if it was your young boy he groomed from the age of 12 and now has sex with ? I don’t think you’d willingly let your child be groomed by a 40yr old man would you ? Why don’t you save your sympathy for the victim and his mother you silly person
So it took him 27 years to figure out he was gay. Took me no time at all.
😂😂. I know right. I saw a bit of the episode on TH-cam where he was with Holly saying how he was gay and it was his “coming out” announcement. I thought he was gay and was shocked he was married to a woman for 27 years!!
You’re a gay conservative? Why?
@@therealjetlag Piss off, pillow-biter.
@@therealjetlag because he’s screaming 😱
perversion is sanctified
This video editor is absolutely useless. Subtitles flicking through waaaay too fast and the next video banners at the end covering up the rest of the video. Well done
A lifetime of combing 😔✌️
What?
@@therealjetlag that’s right. A lifetime of grooming
@@djdoolittle1315 Evidence?
@@therealjetlag he was combing that lad when he was 10. Video evidence is available. Are you a fanboy? I thought so 😔
@@djdoolittle1315 paste the link to the video evidence here please.
It is well documented that Philip was doing the same thing to countless people including Meghan Markle not for two weeks and she didn’t do what he did. She just married a prince . Did he wanted her dead ? How does it be Philip to be on the receiving end?
Huh???
Let's Discuss please
HUH?

?? Please explain.
15 year old man. Yep, checks out!
@@tarsicio2426 He wasn’t 15. Keep up.
Just another child diddling "Controversy".
Except he wasn’t a child. Nice try, though.
This timeline left out him grooming a 15 year old.. there, i fixed it
I don't understand what's the problem really? Ok he started with the guy while still married, so? how many have lovers outside marriage nowadays? He announced he was gay in 2020 so not a big revelation either. I dunno where's the scandal here
Wasn't the other person a minor??
Clown world,how far the west have fallen 😂
SIMON schofield, no relative, see photo of arm round 15 yr old Mathew, labelled ‘the look of love’. Then simon allegedly passes lad up to his best gay mate Phillip schofield at 15… combed him for tv allegedly
It is despicable to support any adult who grooms children.
What a load of nonsense. We elected Johnson and he does not know how many children he has.
If Johnson had arranged the hiring of an intern just so he could have his way with them you'd be bouncing off the ceiling...
Bojo has class, style, and character. This obvious fluff screwed over his own family.
@@BeeRich33 Bojo screwed over his own family, too. Hypocrite much?
Never mind all the ins and outs of this man, excuse the pun, it's quite simple: did he commit a crime? Did he engage in sexual activity with an underage person? If he did, there must be a complaint made against him by a victim/s. Otherwise nobody will be able to officially call him exactly what everybody is dying to, a paedophile. Harsh word. Just look at his brother. Runs in the family. One more thing, it won't be long for people come forward and say he 'groomed' them. He's got a lot to look forward to.
Can you explain to me how having sex with a 20 year old makes someone a paedophile? Do you always point the finger at people, accuse them of a crime with nothing to base it off, and believe they're guilty until proven innocent? Who is the real piece of ah*t here?
He's obviously a creep. You missed that part.
Wait, are you saying that relatives of pedophiles are all pedophiles, too? That’s bold assertion. Do you have evidence to back that up?
He deserves every horrible thing that is coming his way!
what happened
I'm sorry no one realized that he was gay until 2020? And he got fired for cheating on his wife? I can understand the wife being mad, although not quite sure why they stayed married when he admitted that he was gay but that's their business. Was this younger person under age? What is it that I'm not getting.
Wasn't the other person a minor??
@@therealdonaldtrump1646 From what I've understood this person was a legal adult 19-20 when they started having their affair. I could be wrong about that of course and all three sides are covering it up. But since the network was the one who wanted him gone, everyone knew about their relationship even though they didn't say anything. Why not get rid of him the second they knew he was with a minor if that was the case?
I can personally think it's weird and gross to have such an age gap. But also at some point we can't say that it's okay for a legal adult to have all adult resonsiblities, that can even go to war and be trained in how to kill other people, who can drink or gamble away their life savings if they so choose. Yet suddenly draw the line and say "but you can't date a much older person." Yes there are going to be various things that feel weird about it, and knowing that the human brain does not fully form until your 24-25. I'm certainly not going to give him a pat on the back but this thing that has started happening all over these past couple of years. Were people get fired because they date people that they work together with is insane. 40% of couples meet each other because of work, most people spend more time with people they work with than their actual families. Feelings are bound to come up.
We find out he actually had been grooming this young man since he was a teen, now we are talking about something else.
@@dcworld4349 Thanks for the info. This is probably a cover-up for having sessions with a minor and a distraction from something worse.....
Why not fire him right away? He was making the network too much money.
@@therealdonaldtrump1646 I understand money is a factor, but it's not like he wasn't still making them money. And everyone knew that they were having the affair, so what changed that made them say "okay this affair has gone on long enough lets stop it."
If they were in fact covering up that he had sex with a minor, or did groom said minor and waited until he came of age. Then hiding it and fire him because they saw there was a chance their cover up was going to get out. That makes sense.
But let's for a second assume that was is currently publicly known/we have been told is true. He never had any real conversations with this person beyond that short meeting where they took a picture. And like he has for 11.000 other fans follow them back on twitter. Then got back in contact when he was 18 and did a tour of the studio which a lot of prospecting people looking at a job there gets. At 19 gets the job and three months later when he is almost 20 this person went to his dressing room, having known that he was gay and was the one who initiated the first kiss and the rest that followed.
I think that I've made my position perfectly clear in my previous comment, but I'll reiterate. Despite this person being an adult, forget about the fact that he was a married man in the closet at the time. He could have been single and I still would have said given his own age you are stepping over a certain line. That while legal is a bit weird to put it mildly.
But that is not the reason they fired him, it was because they were working together. And this is the trend I'm not fond of. I can't remember which network it was but they fired a man in the US who was simply dating a woman with no kind of drama or big age difference, in fact I think she was two years older than him. They didn't even work directly together she was working in another department, but since he had a higher position than her it was considered that he had power over her. A position mind you that wasn't that of a overpaid executive and a secretary. She was high up in the company herself, but they had implemented weird rules like not looking the opposite sex in their eyes for more than 5 seconds at a time and other weird rules. So him being in a loving relationship with her meant he had to go.
This situation is obviously different, and if it turns out that he groomed this young man to be able to be with him when he did come of age. That changes everything, but I think we are going to do a lot of damage to what could be healthy loving relationships for people both currently and in the future. Imagine having to choose between your job and the person you love? Do we really want corporations to be able to have that level of power over other peoples love life?
@@dcworld4349 😑😑😑😑
So after all that your thought process is " corporations are controling your love life"
🙄😷
To be fare....hes always seemed to have been a pillow biter....a taker rather than a giver...🧚♂️
Look into his eyes. He's definitely a giver, an angry giver
Karma...sell by date
This is all such bullshit. Why is it anyone’s business what two consenting adults do? Neither being gay nor having an affair are illegal. I love how all the mind readers in the world are calling this grooming just because he knew the guy when he was 15.
Hey Phillip, go into politics. Conservatives don’t seem to have a problem when politicians have affairs, just TV presenters.
What goes on down your cottage dude? Love it 😊
Who cares? Why is this relevant? Sick and tired of seeing silly tittle tattle about this non event. I would have thought The Indy had better things to report.
This is what happens when you’re gay but want to live a normal life in fear of judgement
gaycard is the new trend in the market for accusations 😂🤡
Subtitles way to fast
Dont have text full stop. But if you must, why put them in the way of other clips so nobody can read it?
Your editing is 2008 quality with mistakes like this.. news channel? 😂
Grooming is when someone builds a relationship, trust and emotional connection with a child or young person so they can manipulate, exploit and abuse them. Children and young people who are groomed can be sexually abused, exploited or trafficked. Anybody can be a groomer, no matter their age, gender or race.
