While away, I heard a whole lot about this Phillip Schofield situation. For you Yanks, Schofield has been a UK TV presenter for eons, and was always rumored to be gay – despite being married to a woman and having children. He’s like the UK’s Regis! Fast-forward to 2020. He’s been co-hosting a morning program for about 20 years and suddenly comes out of the closet. Nobody is sure why – until last month, when it was revealed that he’s been having an affair with Matthew McGreevey – a lad somewhere in his early 20s. Making the story more salacious are reports that Phil may have met Matt when he was about 10 years old! An investigation has been launched, Schofield’s career appears to be history, and McGreevey has gone into hiding, after reportedly suffering from psychological trauma.

In an intriguing side note, Phillip’s brother, Timothy Schofield (a policeman), was recently found guilty of sexual impropriety with a 13-year-old boy! His trial revealed that Phillip knew about the situation, but didn’t report it. I certainly can’t blame him for that, but it’s something that makes you go, “Hmmm”. After Timothy was found guilty on 11 counts, Phillip said, “As far as I’m concerned, I no longer have a brother.” Pot / kettle.
