How is this news ?

Did regular use of Rent Boys raise that suspicion or was it when the wife caught you with a full mouth?

The giveaway is when men get you hard.

Then I thought what the hell go ahead and screw up some lives!

That's quite selfish, especially hanging around for 27 years. At least my Dad left when we were young.

has this story finished now?

No one actualy gives a shit

This man is a shame. How can you stay married for 27 years to a woman, knowing you are gay? What is incredible is that now is also considered an hero. Ridiculous!

Oh go away Phillip , who gives a bugger.

I suppose it boils down to a preference of one or the other or both, although confusion can add doubt and where there's doubt there's confusion a neverending cycle of confusing gender. How do you solve this well pick one and go for it and if that doesn't work pick another?

Why is this public information though, seems like something he should be discussing with his wife not the media.

Couldn’t give a shit about his sexuality or his living arrangements with his wife but pissed off the way he became Andrew Neil with corbyn but cosyed up to Johnson taking selfies etc when it was Johnson that called gay men bumboys.

SUSPECTED he was gay? Come on sorry, but I think he would have known. Feel so sorry for his then fiancé, he should really have said something instead of leading her on. I am not having a go at him but it was very selfish.

Less of a toss I could not give.

Utterly dignified in his humility and confusion. Great that he can model how to deal with ambiguity, torment, crisis and challenge publicly. An imperfect human just like the rest of us. Entangled in complexity. Wishing him well.

Whoopdee f'in dooo...what a mug.

Get checked for aid's.

Ddduuuhhh!

This is not a respectable Guardian headline. You're not supposed to care about this rubbish.

Suspected... guffaws

Schofield, Andy peters , has Andy crane come out of the broom cupboard yet .......?

Why sell your story to the Sun? Homophobic rag.

Might of been the right time to disclose it ...

So why get married then ?

Probably shouldn't have got married then.

Just shows what a nasty person he is to not share this with his future wife. God know how many affairs he must have had during his marriage.

It's all about 'I' for him. Marriage is 'We' . Someone please tell him. What's the point though ? Its 27 years late.

Diabolical🙄

This actually makes me feel less sorry for him and even mote sorry than I initially did for his wife.

Your poor wife. And you had children too? Cheating yourself and them.

Ha ha

Rubbing the wife’s nose in it....

Suspected?

suspected?

transwidows Such a brave man for admitting he is gay, we all need to celebrate him coming out

or more likely when you got caught shagging your 18 year old P.A

No shit....

What an arsehole

I think most people suspected it before then.

He's a disgrace. A pathetic 'man'. Schofe

He's been boffing his young runner according to several reports. This seems to be a cover up.

I think the nation have known for over a decade but proud of him for breaking down his walls! 🎉

I suspected it also.

Da fuck you tellin me for then

Great. I’m sure the wife is loving it right now. People who call this kind of behavior ”brave” are demented.

Snogging the vicar was the giveaway.

hope anyone giving him shit in the replies to this accidentally burns their genitals or something

Not a surprise really is it.

Come out before being caught out.

Me think yer were gay before the married

OK, we got it. Why this keeps being all over news? I really, honestly don't care who he shags.

Weasel

Be gay by all means but your poor wife and children have my sympathy.

Gay Philip Schofield.

If as he said Steph knew a long time ago (how long is a piece of scoffy string) and if so you'd think she would have divorced him and have a life after his revelation so would he but methinks he's a selfish individual

You has demon and sickness shall soon come upon you.

Why do we feel sorry for him? A multi millionaire, white and middle class !

His lived a lie to us the viewing public licence payers

I knew he was Gay from day one, many of us knew this. BBB knew and they sat on him not coming out. It would of caused major problems with the rating against BBC The BBC, protected Paedophiles and Junior Sex exploitations to the fullest. Jimmy Saville was the product of BBC

Philip Schofield isn’t some kind of a hero. His wife and daughters are who I feel sorry for the most. This wasn’t “brave” of him. It was selfish. If he had doubts he shouldn’t have gotten married.

He was 30 when he married and didn't know if he was attracted to women or men? What a fraud!🥴

If a heterosexual married man is attracted to other women, has affairs and lies about it he's an arsehole, but if he's gay, attracted to men, has affairs and lies about it he's a brave hero, correct?

If it’s true about his affair with the boy runner in his show how many other boys are going to come out of the woodwork and if so that will change his profile to a male that grooms young boys.

A crooked person

Stop giving him publicity. It doesn’t warrant any.

Who cares? Hardly a surprise. Never forgive him for sucking up to Boris Johnson whilst actively lambasting Jeremy Corbyn on his influential show.

Him and Holly are an attention seeking pair. All about fame and money.

Enough, go away.

Please no more I'm sick of this 😖

Suspected 🤣🤣😂🤣🤣 this just gets better, wonder when the truth will come from his mouth - everyone knew he was gay he didn’t exactly hide it!

The future King knew he was in love with another woman on his wedding day and even wore cufflinks with her initials on... Meanwhile, we have a PM who was sleeping around behind his wifes back and having illegitimate children. Schofield was a faithful husband, not a problem.

can that press stop beating this dead horse story already, please?

nothing to brag about!! many people find sodomy discusting bye bye itv

My commiserations to the gay community this is the 2nd time a prominent celebrity has used a publicized coming out has cover to cover up a relationship with a much younger person . Kevin Spacey anyone.

Funny that, I suspected he was gay the first time I saw him on telly.

Is he a top or bottom. I'm betting on the latter. Who is his boyfriend?

Nobody knows this guy

Congratulations!

Anyway enough about this. How’s about dealing with some of the worlds major problems?

The national average of the length of marriage before it ends in divorce is 12 years with 42% of all marriages ending. No matter what his sexuality Scofield has done better in his marriage than a great many heterosexual men.

But a lot of these comments are also homophobic, so.....

Wow. Not a nice person to trick his wife like that. Yuck.

A lot if these comments assume that it was easy to live your truth as a gay man 27 years ago. LGBT people have been having to enter hetero marriages for centuries because that was the only way to have an 'acceptable' life.

This revelation is commendable and yet I still feel for his wife because she devoted her life to him and her family. Life is a mixed bag ...

I never suspected he was a Tory but apparently it was common knowledge.

Be who you are but I really don’t care. Enough!

Now this... this is how the Graun wins back read... a reader.

Totally relatable, i didnt know i was straight until i almost got married to a dude 😂🤣

So his wife was his beard, all to protect his career

Then you should have divorced and went looking for a man. This doesn't make sense at all.

Does anyone really care what anyone does behind closed doors? Has this announcement changed anyone’s lives expect his family? In which case a private conversation would suffice

Uh... it took that long? Didnt see any hot dudes his whole life?

I reckon you guys will keep reporting about his coming-out-of-the-closet success story until he chokes on someone's w!ener and dies.

Good timing

He’s bi maybe?

Bahahahahaha

I feel sorry for his wife, if he knew that far back why marry her, get her hopes, life and future emotionally invested and intertwined? I think she has been humiliated and betrayed. In the headline, 9 words and 3 are 'I' ,hes using his high profile position for sympathy.

Selfish - poor Gordon

An urge to visit the Royal Vauxhall Tavern was a bit of a clue.

'Hero'.

And what did you do then?

my bum didn't poop, show support

Could just be Bi. A lot of people are

........after thinking to myself “I would look better in that dress!”

and he seems to be on the interview trail about this, doing an interview with the Sun on Sunday (of all newspapers).

Another daily update. Cool.

I blame the media who gives him free panel to speak this kind of nonsense

- it is all just gossip - please don't give it coverage

A narcissistic bloke- too much information

He really does seem to be a complete so and so.

Slow news day

Funny

Sympathy for his poor wife.

Kind of ironic that he became famous working inside a closet.

Odd that. I suspected that he was full of shit the moment I set eyes on him. Phillip has asked for privacy whilst he writes his story. The one he's just sold to the News Of The World. Thoughts and prayers.

Shame on you, didn’t you think about your wide?

Was and is hard for straights to work in media. Straights in the creative industries are a curious minority.

In days of old Hollywood stars and stars acceptable to the Americans were all gay. Marriages were made between gay men and women with full understanding. I don`t think this guy is the only one. Many other big time presenters have come in in their autobiogs etc.

Why is he doing this to his poor wife and kids? So selfish.

Smh

Nine words in that pull quote and a third of them are ‘I’. Absolutely typical of self-obsessed narcissists whose consideration for others’ feelings is zero. Take a trip to Old Compton Street in Soho if you wish to observe these nauseating creeps in their unnatural habitat.

He should have discussed his feelings with his then fiancée. They may well still have wanted to marry but, at least, she would have been aware of his inner conflicts.

I suspect he voted Tory

Why? because he always fancied the Runner fresh from college

Gawd! Please...no more .

I think she always knew- probably quite relieved really

So why destroy 27 years of a woman's life? That's not brave or anything to be proud of.

But I decided to ruin a few lives even so.

That’ll cheer up his wife

If it was a man leaving his wife for younger woman I wonder would everyone be clapping him on the back and being 'supportive'? This is a private matter and best he keep it as such and not make it a media event. Definitely a case of TMI.

He probably suspected something when he kissed the best man🤣😂🤣

I think someone knows something and he has been left with no choice to tell everyone! Otherwise we would never off known

I never knew much about him aside from the odd funny clip. I always assumed he was gay.

Been fingering a young lad the dirty bastard

Maybe he suspected he was gay when Spitting Image tacitly ‘outed’ him a year before he got married? 🙄

So why get married then?

The younger you is surprised a bit...

Got a picture of his wedding night 😬

HAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha HAHAHAHA

So why stay with his wife, it’s all Been a lie I feel for his wife!

He was banging his teen twink studio runner, dirty old man is what he is!
