I can’t get over him hitting the lost Mary vape halfway through an interview about grooming

[TemperanceMinistry-rinz]

The fact he cheated on his wife of 30 years for this young man whilst the world celebrated him leaving his wife by announcing he’s into blokes just shows how fallen our society is.

[BullyBoxer]

The fact that we have ITV and the Schofield fans trying to gaslight us into thinking it’s appropriate when a man Phillip Schofield age, meets a young boy age 11 to groom him to an age, where it’s appropriate to have “consensual” sexual relationship with him as being normal really is quite sickening!
If Schofield was a school teacher he would be in handcuffs .
He should have his devices look at .

He told the boy it had to stop the same words he told his brother when he told him he was grooming kids notice he puffed his vape in times of panic he's guilty as hell

[EmilyHartley]

To summarise...I'm NOT a groomer but I'm a you're a groomer then.

[Smileyfce]

Phillip trying desperately to turn this around and make out that he is the victim. The public are not stupid Phil!! 😡

[isaackent]

0:30 denies grooming, but can't say the word, then closes eyes, yep he's a lying .

[nowimfollowingu]

Biggest regret is getting into a relationship at work - WTF? You’re 35 years his senior. He was a kid ffs

[lisagibb]

He no longer sounds like a man trying to save his career, he sounds more like he’s trying to avoid a prison sentence.

[shendybean]

You don’t become mates at that age with a young child. Omg there is so much more to this

[somebody]

He’s showing his true colours in this. He looks absolutely unhinged.

[lindalancaster]

My biggest regret!!! No mention of his wife and kids 😢

[valsmith]

He is the most arrogant and disingenuous person . He looks very untouched by it all.. His poor poor wife and daughters.

[fayehenderson]

He’s aged about 50 years since 2 weeks ago 😂

[intrepidbutton]

if someone is saying 'yes, ' but shaking their head no, this is a potential sign of deceit. He shook his head a lot.

[ZonkPronkly-wzec]

"Affair" is an interesting way to describe the grooming of a male child

[Gggrrrrrrrr]

Phillip, The former 2 Faced Theatre School and Simon Schofield all need a police investigation👮‍♀️

[wayne.curtis]

He’s deeply sorry ……… that it has all come out!

[pepegrillo]

nobody acquires a taste for young boys overnight at age 60...there have to be more stories around

[matthewchamberlain]

I’m not a legal person. But, to me he knows the full truth is going to come out. He still looks at time arrogant and thinks he’s the victim.
