People are saying his exit from This Morning is the start. Phillip Schofield releases a statement as he leaves ITV. Précis: He met a boy, helped him get into television, then began an “unwise but not illegal” relationship with him after securing him a job on This Morning. ‘Groomer’ is trending on Twitter.

YoungWillz 21,050 Posted May 26, 2023 I haven't seen any part of This Morning for donkey's years. I have however been in the unenviable position of catching the odd snippet of the show on Gogglebox. From an objective distance, it looks like the end of this sewer of daytime television is nearing its outflow. It wouldn't surprise me if they cancelled the whole damn thing in the near future. Dermot O'Leary should leg it before the whole thing goes down. The rest of them should be thrown on the dung heap of presenters - the Jeremy Kyle Pile, if you will. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
