Phillip Schofield has truly milked his ‘coming out.’ Criticised yesterday by Matthew Parris in The Times for behaving badly towards other gay men in hiding his true identity until now, the This Morning presenter’s alleged ‘real reason’ for revealing his sexuality is now under question.
Featured in Politicalite on Monday was a story that claimed 57-year-old Schofield had allegedly had an affair with a former runner on the show named Matt McGreevy.
McGreevy, they reported, in 2014 and then aged 18, “got a taste for television” after spending the day at ITV’s London Studios with the well-known for being angry presenter. The two had interacted first in 2011 (when McGreevy was 15) on Twitter, but now Politicalite report:
Two stories to keep beside you
The Phil & Matt Show
Phillip Schofield filmed smoking shisha with his alleged ex-lover Matt McGreevy (and pictured in bed thereafter); another image shows the pair together in photograph taken at a school Phillip Schofield has most certainly manipulated most people into thinking he’s a national treasure. He’s cried on the telly box and most recently orchestrated a ‘coming out’ […]
Schofield Axed
Fresh from ‘outing’ himself Phillip Schofield finds his new television series ‘How To Spend It Well’ axed After outing himself and facing allegations of an affair with a young man named Matt McGreevy now faces further woes after his new television series, How To Spend It Well, was scrapped by ITV “over coronavirus fears” according […]
“Schofield is alleged to have been having the affair with the runner and he was said to have been ‘furious’ that Schofe had apparently ‘’f**ked him over,’ and he was reportedly going to the press.”
“McGreevy was also said to have had a ‘close working relationship’’ with Schofe, but after they had a ‘bust up’ with McGreevy left This Morning to work on rival show Loose Women.’
McGreevy’s Twitter account has subsequently been suspended for “violat[ing] the Twitter rules.”
Phillip Schofield has neither denied or admitted the claims.

What a nasty piece of toe rag as that woman said of BoJo
Of course the whole thing was orchestrated, does he think we are all stupid. Like I said previous, if you didn’t know he was gay, you must have been on the moon. It was just time for a bit of extra publicity and everybody to pat him on the back, Who cares?
If he wasnt on tv I wouldnt miss him.just ehat power does he weild if this story hasnt been printed.
I really hope this is not the case as he seems so kind and genuine! I find him very endearing
Endearing??? How deluded are you??????
Totally agree with you Trish.
I feel there is more to come on this story apparently schofe took other young men under his wing its how young that bothers me.And his abuse of power by getting this yoing nan a job on the show because he was in a relationship with him.Id be equally disgusted if it was a older man young woman or a older woman younger woman.
Glad youve touched on this. I read this last week after reading a twitter comment and I feel like.. HOW COME THE PRESS HAVENT RAN THIS STORY??
The national press print all kind of shit like Love Island Shenanigans etc and I see this mention of Phil havibg a onset affair yet he is married..I find that disgraceful moreso because he is projecting a different image to us public and we buy into that!!!
Thats wrong. Where is the press reports onthis? Why is it on Twitterr but not in tabloids.
No wonder theres rumours of onset fall outs perhaps this story is behind it….
Philip Schofield should be sacked not the fact he is gay. The fact he has lied to everyone who has supported him. Ive watched him for years he has lied and
Portraits his life as a loving husband and father of two children. He makes my blood boil i can’t even look at him who likes a liar. He’s lied to his wife children family and his fans. Its unforgivable what he has done to us watching on.
And he comes in the catagory of grooming now in my eyes which is way of the map I do wish his wife and children well. But him never how hes pulled the wool over everyones eyes.
Nobody loves a LIAR. We would have had more respect for him if he had just said years ago he was gay not now.
Yes why not? He projects this good family man image and that is insincere.
Silver fox yes sly as a fox.
I think his affair is why people are angry not because it is with stsff because he has upset his wife of 27 years.
Girlfriend, wife whatever he is deceitful and it winds me right up!!!!
???
His be kind slogan didnt include his wife!!!! Famiy!!! Did they know I feel.so betrayed by him and it must be hell for them…
Yes how the mighty have fallen.sly fox.
Im getting the word…….
Creatans, the entire lot of them!
Hi Matthew do you happen to know if the entertainment editor of the Daily Express (Hannah McGreevy) is related to Matthew McGreevy? Unusual surname and bit of a coincidence that rumour has it he was going to sell his story to The Express.
