Phillip Schofield returned to presenting ITV1’s This Morning yesterday and with this came reminder of how utterly dislikable this dual British and New Zealand citizen truly is.
Appearing on the show for the first time in weeks after his brother was convicted and sent down for sexual offences, queue jumping peddler of plonk Schofield – who himself had to pay in excess of £125,000 for child sex smears against Lord McAlpine in 2012 along with ITV – tried to sweep aside what had gone on and bleated:
“I wanted to say that it is really lovely to be back. I have missed the show, everyone here, and also to you [the viewers] and I wanted to say thank you for all your kind messages and support, which were really appreciated, so thank you very much indeed. On with the show.”

Gordon The Gopher’s Gone – Phillip Schofield Quits ‘This Morning’; Will Further Scandal Follow?
As the queue-jumping puppet master of Gordon The Gopher Phillip Schofield quits ‘This Morning’, Matthew Steeples asks: “Will further scandal follow for this flogger of plughole-fit-only plonk?”
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road Elton… Sir Elton John Should Shut His Trap About Phillip Schofield
Matthew Steeples suggests ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road’ crooner Sir Elton John should stick to tinkling on the ivories and shut-up about the liar and deceiver Phillip Schofield.
Schofield – who most curiously “doesn’t tweet anymore of check my @’s sorry, thanks for all the fun originally though” – previously issued a statement through his lawyer after his brother’s conviction on 3rd April 2023 at Exeter Crown Court.
The self-centred and ever smug self-preservation focused presenter’s prepared piece read:
“My overwhelming concern is and has always been for the wellbeing of the victim and his family. I hope that their privacy will now be respected.”
“If any crime had ever been confessed to me by my brother, I would have acted immediately to protect the victim and their family.”
“These are despicable crimes and I welcome the guilty verdicts. As far as I am concerned, I no longer have a brother.”
Responding to Schofield’s return to the telly box ‘Nasty Nad’ Nadine Dorries MP penned in the Daily Mail this morning of her views on him. In a comment piece she shared:
“I’ve been interviewed by Holly [Willoughby] and Phillip several times, and off-camera found Holly an absolute delight and Mr Schofield rather up himself.”
“On one occasion, I witnessed what appeared to be somewhat intimidating behaviour. Holly was away, and as her stand-in looked down at her script – obviously wanting to see who or what was coming up next – Phillip glared at her and began to jab at her script with his finger. I don’t know about her, but he scared me.”
Further illustrating the dislike towards that came about as a result of him and Holly Willoughby’s actions as they pushed-in to parade past the late Queen Elizabeth II, in October 2022, Grocery Gazette reported that Waitrose had dropped Schofield’s wine range after “the retailers customers branded it undrinkable.” On the retailer’s website, the wines “rated at less than two and a half stars out of five with customer reviews describing the product as “very disappointing” and “not pleasant.” For once also, similarly of its ‘creator,’ maybe the usually anything but bang on the nail Nadine Dorries has a point.

Current state of journalism: UK Independence- “Carrygate: No 10 admits pressuring the Times to drop Carry Johnson story.” Deadline- “Itv makes late edit to PH PW documentary.” It removed references that PW leaked information on PH’s mental health to the media AFTER receiving a call from Buckingham P. Both stories were true. Is this factual and independent journalism? The Times,The Sun and The Mail promoted Brexit, the most disastrous economic policy in British history. Edwin Hayward,author of “Slaying Brexit Unicorn”- the Express published 44 bile filled articles on MM in 24hrs. “That’s a pace of 16,000 per years.” Industrial scale hate, not journalism. From 2017- 2022, the BM claimed Samantha’s surname was Markle. She now admits it was Samantha Rasmussen. She changed it in July 2022, after filing her lawsuit.The BM failed to vetted the legal name of a hate for cash source. Is this proper journalism? #Levison 2.
Paula/Susan – This has nothing to do with this topic. Please can you stick to commenting on topic henceforth? Your dislike of a certain someone is clear but it has nothing to do with this article. I have been fair and allowed you to voice your opinions – even though I think them ludicrous – but this comment is entirely irrelevant to this article.
Matthew,
You’re talking about journalism in the UK. I was talking about the lack of ethics in UK journalism, the topics are related. It wasn’t exclusively about SM. Thank you.
You’re talking about a UK ” journalist” who lacks ethics. I think this is true of The Times and Itv, they’re related topic.
You’re an honest man @ MatthewSteeples! You’re the only one with the kahones to print the story about a certain lady many of us follow & love. I’m still hoping they will.remember that & start posting here again.🤔
