The Drama

[roadman]

seems phillip scofield wanted to take his own life because of the hard couple of weeks he experienced and without his daughters he apparently would have done

all this over just an apparent affair what is the big deal if it was all above board

all i know is itv are a disgrace and piers morgan now has his say on it all

[youngmafbog]

You know it do you?

Glad to know you were there keeping an eye on it.

[roopower]

The world of tv and their wives have had a say. That always happens, some don't have a clue but just like the sound of their own voice. It must be intimidating to know that so many people talking about you , who do you trust?

[Barsel]

I do wish Piers Morgan would let his guests finish talking instead of rudely interrupting them.

[retrocop]

I listened for about 9 minutes and thought it was more about Piers bemoaning his dismissal and sounding off about it. Who are we supposed to pity here?

[douglas9401]

Birds of a fevva.

[barry1010]

Was it all above board, though?

[royfromaus]

As I have said, only two people know if it was legal...it certainly was not 'all above board'

[bednobs]

1) why shoul i or anyone care what PS does in his sex life
2 why should i or anyone care what PM thinks about it?

[William51]

Phillip Schofield had done wrong but he owned up and apologised. It goes on in lives all the time. ITV and the programme have hung Schofield out to dry without any thought of his welfare.

[barry1010]

Schofield hasn't really owned up, he fudged it.

[jourdain2]

I've steered clear of watching any of the soul-baring and what sounds like a horrible media-fest. It's his wife and daughters I feel sorry for.

[roadman]

i dont know barry1010 problem is he has lied now confessed but has he confessed to it all i suspect not but dont want to upset anyone so wont say any more on it

he did the opposite to own up he got exposed and how dare he associate the pressure he is now getting from the public for the allegations to poor caroline flack who did nothing of the sort and didnt do anything to cause social media to abuse her she just existed and phillip has caused major controversy surrounding sexual relationships with young people

[Peter Pedant]

Men who kissed and lied....

Profumo of course - does Christine Keeler count?
Jeffrey Archer - did time ( Monica Coghlan)
o god Jimmy (Lord) Saville
Cecil Parkinson

the list of shame is not long

[bednobs]

didnt caroline flack ACTUALLY break the law though (or at least was Arrested), and thats why she was being hounded

[Old_Geezer]

I'm sure it seems very stressful for him, but he needs to mentally step back and get it all into perspective. He has his family, he's earned enough to be comfortable in his remaining years, undoubtedly has friends who care for him. All this is, or once would have been, yesterday's chip-paper. He should try to avoid media exposure and get into something that really interests him, and which can hold his concentration, at least until he feels the low period in his life is finally in the past.
