Perfect Passing 277 Posted February 7, 2020 As a straight, married man with a grown up child, I had no idea whatsoever that Philip Schofield might be gay and was surprised has hell when the news broke earlier today. So I must must be clearly in the minority, with no obvious ‘gaydar’ to assist. I must also have been in minority thinking that he was defo banging Holly W, and had been for years!!

Perhaps 1,423 Posted February 7, 2020 As a homo myself, I did have small inklings over the years that he might not be 100% hetero, but the wife of 20+ years and the children always debunked my suspicions. He could have a lovely young twink by his side in 6 months, who knows 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,219 Posted February 8, 2020 Having now seen a section of his 'coming out' on TV, I was struck by the, in my eyes, lack of emotion, infact a lack of anything. It looked so utterly false, he spoke like he was trying to convey emotion and feeling but was failing. It just looked all wrong. Just a gut feeling. One more thing. You have lived a lie, you married a woman, had kids with her and then, one day, drop that bombshell on them all. Why do you then get somebody else to read out your ' I'm really gay' speech on national tv and not do it yourself? Maybe the idea of coming out on live tv was a good idea for you but what about your wife and kids?? Bit cuntish really. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"A close friend of wife Stephanie Lowe told The Mirror: "Steph is being a rock for Phillip, as she always has been, but there's no denying she is absolutely shattered by all this. "She and the girls love him very much and will support him as much as they can, but the knowledge they have been living a lie for so long is terribly hurtful." They added: "It's humiliating to think that you're married to someone who doesn't love you the way you love them." He has betrayed and cheated his wife for his own convenience. Nothing to admire there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like to think that everyone is a little bubble of potential floating around waiting to be assigned so they would have been born, but into other families. On this basis, if my granny's first husband hadn't died of the Spanish flu in 1919, I would be somebody else. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,219 Posted February 8, 2020 I'm not on twatter, Lady FN is, but there is a story doing the rounds on there, as we speak, about Phil having 'liaisons' with a runner on the Good Morning set. Names, threats to sue and everything.... The fog begins to clear. Ohhh, just seen the linked YouTube vid to the story! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The plot thickens, apparently and, very much, allegedly, our famous TV presenter started following this young man on twatter in 2011. The lad is now 24.

I should like to place on record that this video was an entirely innocent interview of Mr Schofield conducted by a young male television gofer (no, not Gordon) in 2015. One wonders why anyone should feel the need to suppress it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,062 Posted February 29, 2020 Possibly borderline for this topic but....Paul Raymond's granddaughters intend to re-open Madame Jojo's in Soho: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8059225/Porn-baron-Paul-Raymonds-granddaughters-lead-plan-reopen-West-End-cabaret-club-Madame-Jojos.html Speaking as someone who attended in the 1980s, it looked a tired throwback to earlier times. Don't get me wrong, it was a marvellous show, but little to no celebration of sexuality. Gawd alone knows how they are going to make it work these days. Anyway, the residents are up in arms about the proposal. Not really sure why. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
