UK TV presenter Phillip Schofield has confirmed he had an affair with a younger male ITV employee while he was still married.
In a statement to the Daily Mail newspaper, Schofield apologised for lying to his colleagues and the media, and said his relationship with the young employee, who the BBC is not naming, was "unwise but not illegal".
The 61-year-old left his role as a host on This Morning last week reports of a rift with co-star Holly Willoughby.

@@stucrossland3719 Rightt!! So many people would keep quiet too, heck I might do the same if faced with a similar situation. There's also the fact that not many people want to be around someone known for "snitching" even if they haven't done anything wrong. This is especially the case when it comes to people in the public eye. I literally can't think of a single person who's spoken out and continued to work. Plus the prerequisite for being a "messenger of justice" is either having enough capital, whether that be in the form of money, power or a combination of the two, or playing an indispensable role in your organization. Otherwise you're not a "messenger of justice" but cannon fodder.

The fact that we all knew this the moment he came out as gay, we knew of the boy in question, Phillip even went on Lorraine (I remember) and stated “I don’t even recognise the individual in question” and I thought, “even I have seen the boy’s face on live TV before!”. But you’re telling me ITV, This Morning & Holly didn’t know? Nah. They all took the easiest option to keep the show running it’s best, pushing the boy to a different show where both Eamonn and Ruth followed. ITV are complicit. I hope Matthew sues.

I’ve always found the legal age of consent to be an issue. While I agree 16 year olds can consent, there should be an age limit of those they can consent to. No one over the age of 18 has any business being with a 16 year old and no one with morals would ever even dream of being with someone that young. There is a huge difference in the mentality of 16 year olds vs over 18s. It should not be legal as too many sick perverts hide behind the fact that it is and too many girls end up in abusive relationships with older men and even trafficked by them as they are too young and inexperienced to recognise the signs. The law needs to change!

@marcwilliams9824 Жыл бұрын

True, this country: A 18yo with a 15yo? Rapist. A 50yo with a 16yo? Totally fine. Plenty of other countries take difference in ages of persons involved into overall age for consent. Makes better sense to me.

@Alex-mj5dv Жыл бұрын

Unfortunately, whilst I agree with the sentiments, it is very hard in a free society to set a ceiling as an antipodal position to the base notion of consent. Similarly, and I know it’s less vehemently important, but things like voting age and driving age can’t have blanket restrictions and ceilings imposed on them. Its case by case. It’s why consent can only really ever be based upon a minimum age only. I agree with you on the capacity to be aware at young ages though - I’m 31, in my mind a 16 year old is a child, and they are in every other aspect of the law. Now, have I had 18 year olds after me sometimes? Yes. Because I’m older, well put together, don’t look bad, it seems attractive at that age, it seems rebellious. An 18 year old girl can easily find a Chris Hemsworth attractive (along with everyone else, extreme example I know), but he’s by all accounts still a middle aged man now. Does the onus fall on him to say no to advances? Yes. That’s where Schofield was outright wrong. Grooming from before the age of legal consent and waiting. It’s the influence and power they yield. The concept of the ‘older man’ when they’re debonair and attractive won’t ever go away. But, it’s on THEM to say… sorry, you’re too young, it’s not my thing, move on. Even a 21 year old seems a child to me now.. and not that long ago I was that age! But, all this can fall on is conduct by adults being appropriate. It’s a moral question. And can’t be legislated upwards. Who says what that ideal range is to cut off and make illegal? How do you quantify it? Unfortunately, if two people are attracted to one another, and both of legal age, the moral judgment comes from society when we deem the gap to be too big. But, we see 30 year old playboy bunnies frolicking with a 70 year old Hefner and don’t bat an eyelid. They are groomed.. just in a different way, usually materially and fiscally. It’s not right, but both parties are aware of what it is. The real issue is Schofield meeting this boy as a preteen. There’s a strong case there.

@daviniarobbins9298 Жыл бұрын

So should a 50 year old be allowed to have a relationship with a 25 year old? They are both legally consenting adults. But having said that a 16 year old is still a child in the eyes of the law. Maybes the age of consent laws need to be looked at again. Either the age of consent needs to be moved to 18 or we make 16 the age someone becomes an adult. 18 is only a number we picked to be the age you become an adult. There is no science behind it.

Disgraceful that he used his position to get this person employment on his other shows too.. this has surely now ended his TV career and if ITV are stupid enough to let him present the Soap Awards which he is supposed to do deserve all they get because he will be booed and it'll be all about him not the awards

@amandahunter4034 Жыл бұрын

Gaslighting. I'm sure the young man has a different view of the situation. Phillip Schofield is an adult man who entered into an inappropriate relationship knowing full well that it was an affair and raised questions about his integrity. All the lies and betrayal, especially to his wife and family, is irreparable damage. An apology is worthless unless there is immediate action to back it up and a change in behaviour so that something similar doesn't happen again.

"unwise but not illegal" is to try to protect himself from legal entanglements and then stating that no one else knew is to protect everyone else from culpability.
