Phillip Schofield says he fears being spat on in the street
Phillip Schofield has spoken about the impact his recent high profile departure from ITV and This Morning has had, as he said he is now afraid to leave the house.
“I don’t have any spirit. My friends tell me, ‘It will get better’. It won’t. Not now. Not this one.” Schofield said he now fears being “spat on” in the street, adding: “I am getting by hour by hour. I have got my girls and my friends.”Schofield has said he “didn’t tell anybody” about his affair with his former This Morning colleague but disagreed with any implication of “grooming” the young man.
Asked by the BBC’s Amol Rajan how old his former ITV colleague was when they had the affair, Schofield said: “20 or 21.” Schofield confirmed he did help him get a showreel together but said the younger man “was then given a job on his own merits because he was very good”. “The circumstances are as follows: you met someone who was a child, you were in a position of power over them. You use your power eventually to give them something they craved, which was shot at a job in the media. You nurtured a relationship and then that relationship became sexual.
In an interview with Amol Rajan on the BBC, the former This Morning presenter explained he was invited by a friend to go to a school, something he said he has done “thousands of times”. Schofield said the last time he interacted with his former lover was a “couple of weeks” ago when he organised a lawyer for him because he needed “independent” support.Phillip Schofield has denied allegations that his former This Morning colleague was made to sign a non-disclosure agreement to keep him silent over their affair and feels the truth is coming out now as “the lie got too big for both of us”.
