“I Don’t Think He Was Strong Enough For That Interview” Phil Schofield “Looks Like He's Struggling”

Phillip Schofield has categorically denied grooming his former ‘This Morning’ colleague but said their later affair was “unforgivable”.

Schofield has said the first time he had any “kind of sexual contact” with his former lover was not until he was in his 20s and working on the ITV morning show.

TalkTV’s Mike Graham and media commentator Nigel Pauley react to Phillip Schofield’s bombshell interview.

“In the mental state he is in, I don’t think he is strong enough to have given that interview. I don’t think it was comfortable viewing.”

The only person who Phil feels sorry for is himself. Bringing up and comparing himself to Caroline Flack was disgusting. He’s fishing for sympathy

[seandelap]

His only regret is that he has been caught

[fortuner]

It's over now. He's gone. He's lost his job. It's finished. Nothing more to say.

[julienewman]

He has lost his job.
He hasn't lost his milions.
He his selling his £1.2 million apartment at this moment.
He isn't living under a bridge
So really He hasn't lost anything.
A true narcissist.
Only thinks about their own feelings..

[Zhambie]

I feel so sorry for his ex-wife and his daughters, none of this is their fault. The lad I've heard isn't in a good place, so lets save our sympathy for people who actually deserve it.

[seanandersonbey]

Why can't anyone see he is 100% sorry he's been caught ..

[mrnice]

When the narcissist can't be the hero of the narrative they paint themselves out as the victim. Do they want me to die, is emotional blackmail attempting to make others feel like further reporting on this endangers his welfare

[pamelajs]

Mike, he has not lost everything. He still has support of his family, a roof over his head, food to eat and lots of money in the bank. Soldiers living on the streets have lost everything.

[kayenne]

Philip described the lad as a vulnerable young man. Which is very disturbing to a mother.

[IvorGrumble]

He doesn't look under the weather, he looks like he doesn't have his studio make up on.

[melsbodysquad]

I don’t believe a word he says he is just trying to save himself

[Joe-yylv]

He hasn’t lost everything he’s lost his career where he’s made more than enough to retire, he should be in jail, Covid saved him I remember this all coming out just before

[harryfacer]

He’s lost everything but he’s still worth 9 million quid, my heart bleeds for him

[Smudge]

No he doesn’t look like he’s struggling he has no makeup on for god sake. He groomed that poor kid and has admitted he’s a liar but now is telling the truth. Give me a break 🙄

[gkmacca]

He has absolutely no capacity for self-reflection. As an interviewer he loved sticking the knife into the most vulnerable people around, and then he'd happily go off without a care in the world. Now it's happening to him, he's citing 'Be Kind' and warning about the cruel effects of criticising him. It's still all about him.

[evelina]

He was lucky the interviewer didn’t treat him the way he himself treated some people he interviewed in the show. He is being allowed too much understanding and sympathy. He took advantage of a young vulnerable person and the only time his voice cracks with real pain is when he talks about his finished career.

[klingonwarrior]

Phillip Schofield should be nominated for an OSCAR for his synthetic emotion in the interview - it was all acting to crawl back some sympathy and support for his brand o that he could launch into another 'celebrity' style career.

[nonnie]

After groomed, we became mates. Disgusting. He’s in a terrible place, one day to the next. Victim mentality at its best. No sympathy for grooming a BOY. Think of your own children from 15 to 20. Common sense people.

[terencewhite]

All these false platitudes from minor celebrities sitting on this morning crying poor Phillip, only reason he came out as gay was because he knew there was an article about to be printed about him, only thing he is sorry about is that he has been found out

[babycharliebrown]

He’s hoping you’ll all feel sorry for him and offer him his TV job back. He could retire and fade into obscurity very comfortably while families struggle with money and life. FO Schofield!
