THE worst-kept secret in showbiz is lastly out and Phillip Schofield’s profession seems to be over.
Nicely, goodbye and good riddance! As a daily contributor to This Morning, I’ve had a number of run-ins with the sneering star.
He was nearly all the time impolite, judgmental and checked out his visitors as in the event that they’d simply fallen out of a chunk of cheese.
It’s astonishing he had the nerve to look down at others given the sordid secrets and techniques he was hiding.
Phil was compelled to apologise over his affair with a a lot youthful member of employees.
However it’s not simply the affair that makes him contemptible.
I’ve been instructed he might be ghastly to runners and researchers, often children who wanted the cash and had been scared to talk up.
Nicely, I’m an 81-year-old e-presenter with a number of bob, so if I don’t get one other TV job it’s not the top of the world.
So I can say the reality — he’s ignorant and he was merciless with me.
ITV has to shoulder its share of the blame.
It says it investigated the rumours in 2020 and Phil and the worker denied any relationship.
However it’s troublesome to consider nobody knew.
If that’s the case, why was the choice made to maneuver the younger man to Unfastened Girls? And who put him there?
Senior bods should be shaking of their boots — a reckoning is coming.
