This Morning

That trial happened a few weeks ago and was quite public- however there was a young man in his 20s I believe who left the show crew a few years ago under uncertain circumstances- I wonder in the fullness of time will there be a bigger story here ?

I know the two have fallen out but why did he resign and not her? I’m presuming it’s public opinion not in his favour?

When I type Super Inunction into the search his name comes up predictive foe some reason.

Ryan Giggs had one a few years ago. Effectively a gagging order to prevent the media from discussing something, or even mentioning that there's an injunction in place.

Phil is ITV's golden boy, with many shows, what now for him

I found him and Holly had got rude the past few years with guests

I heard rumours about him but did not know about super injunctions

Will anything be talked about it on Loose Women or Loose Men Fridays 😄

What did Jimmy Schofield , sorry Philip Saville. sorry Philip Schofield get up to then?

I don’t know though. Unless ITV are hedging tgeir bets sbd softening gge blow for now by saying he’ll continue to present other items I.e. we won’t dump him completely in case the proverbial never hits the fan but if it dies we have lined up alternate presenter choices, he seems like an ok guy. I’d disagree with a comparison to Saville. Thought he was always sorta funny and then I remember a Louis Theroux “living with Lucy” style sake where he hung it with Saville for a week or something and you could really trek the guy wasn’t in the up and up at that point but it was still later the revelations came out. I’d give him the benefit of the doubt but it’ll be interesting to see what happens this week.

Holly should be absolutely shown the door but her hubby is a tv bigwig so I can't see that happening sadly.

Thanks! I used to be much more up on what was happening behind the scenes on things and usually nosy if those open secrets would have been sobering I was aware of too but thanks for your post. It is taking from but reading how unpopular he seems to be amongst other people doing the sage tire of chatshow jobs so when you see soldering that one sided it has to come from somewhere. Definitely if Holly is enabling him then she’s as bad so definitely should go but her age and employability elsewhere as week as the hubby are saving her bacon by the sounds of it. Mind you if Phil goes down big she might catch some of that fallout herself no matter who her friends and helpers are.

Seeing the photos of the young runner socialising with Phil doesn't look good in light of the rumours, really shows the age difference.

An MP was a guest on the show at some stage has recently revealed she was shocked at how vile Phil was to a female co-presenter off camera.

Reports suggest that Holly gave a "it's him or me" ultimatum to ITV bosses, result...........Phil "resigns"

Phil thought he could share anything with Holly, but he thought wrong, he knew his brother was abusing kids, as his brother confided in Phil years ago, then with his brother in court last month that piece of info came out, Phil knew, he shared with Holly, he thought Holly would be like '' all poor Phil, what can I do'' instead she was like WTF, she has kids, she ain't going to tolerate this.

Phil should have done the right thing years ago, but he kept quiet

From an article I read over the weekend, it wasn’t yesterday or a few months this trouble has been brewing- whilst conspiracy theories are always interesting when it comes to such “celebrities”, I think the reality is a bit more mundane.

Holly split from the talent firm that also had Philip as their leading light, about 3 years ago- the reason was simple- The agency apparently treated Holly as second to Philip and they prioritised Philips career over Hollys- that’s what the article claimed anyway- so Holly moved and set up her own agency and also apparently got a payout from her previous agency after some legal wrangle.

So this I believe was the start of it all and it has been festering ever since- Holly now had much more freedom and indeed confidence - and Philip was now at least an equal if not a rival.

Between that and the odd silly stories since, and individual press releases that didn’t reflect both parties positions or thoughts , it’s come down to “him or me”.

There’s likely been an unseen battle in the media over the last while especially with Holly now completely free of her old agency, she didn’t have to conform to what the agency wanted, which was effectively to always put Philip in a good light.

They probably should have called it a day a few years ago but obviously this gig is good for both the money and the ego so neither we’re prepared to let go.

Rumours about Edd the Duck being involved in his disappearance.

I don't really know much about either of them.

I did get the impression that they were falling out of favour with the general public over the queing incident at the queen's funeral.

Phil already had a lot of somewhat negative opinions in the whole "coming out" fiasco.

Personally I get suspicious when people seem in absolutely fantastic moods all the time 😂 but then grumpy is my default mode 😂😂

I do find the amount of z listers coming out kicking Phil, pretty pathetic..... anything to get their names in the media.

Holly has broken down in tears on the show before during particularly tough stories involving children so my guess is that she has a very low tolerance for any misdeeds involving children. I think you are right that she and Phil didn't see eye to eye regarding his brother.

Time for Gordon the Gopher to release a tell all book about what happened in that broom cupboard.

I have to say I have always found Holly to be just as fake

It was barely a tribute. Didn't even show clips, just a few photos. Both looked like they were in a hostage video. Alison is usually very bubbly but it was very hard not to hear disdain in her voice when she said his name. You can see it here:

In fairness, they can hardly have a big tribute show for him. He didn't die, and hasn't just decided it's time to move on. He very publicly had to leave because him staying on was untenable and there was both public and private pressure on him to leave or be forced out.

They couldn't not acknowledge it, they had to address the elephant in the room. But it's obviously in all their best interests to move on as quickly as possible.

It is all coming out
