Phillip Schofield Says He's Gay

[Runningman 146]

A news item amongst many others that doesn't interest me one iota !!

Always found his simpering smile odious.  Nothing to do with his sexuality.  And those ads...do me a favour.

 

Thought his "assault" on Corbyn was a pathetic attempt to present as a serious journalist.

 

A Schofield publicity machine strategy?  Am I being cynical?

That he was gay before he announced he was gay? No. Didn’t watch anything he do and if I did I was ignoring him and looking at holly willoughby.

Well to be honest I don't really do early evening popular tv either, but it was sort of self evident. 

 

I do find the whole thing à  bit toe curlingly cheesy, mwah mwah daahling

It’s no big deal. Why make a big thing of it. . ?

Agreed. Big egos involved. BBC wanting to " be" the news.

Nothing to do with his sexuality, I just don’t like him, haven’t for years, he strikes me as being a bike fake and superfluous somehow.

 

I also really don’t like the celebrity obsessed world we seem to live in.

Didn’t warrant being one of the top news stories, private affair. Don’t watch those programmes anyway because I work.

I agree that it shouldn’t have been made a top story.

True but it sells a story and media will be on it for sometime- like now digging deeper to find out more.

 

The latest from Schofield is that he has said (which I suspected anyway) that his wife has known for 'a while'. In addition he admits he knew he was gay when they married in 1993.
