Phillip Schofield comes out as gay

[Jono8]

Of course it's news, he's one of the top TV presenters in the UK and has been for decades.

I wish him all the best and hope things work out as well as they can with his home life.

I agree it is news, but two articles on the front page of the BBC news all day news?

Apparently he's left ITV now as he prefers BBC

Makes sense. This is all just part of the job interview

 

[easyrider]

Yeah you'd like that wouldn't you

Wow...

 

[FoxEye]

Wow...

Lighten up. I have nothing against gay people. And everybody knows you have to be gay to work at the BBC

You're still not getting it!

 

[Yadda]

I wonder if his personality will change now that he's out?

I imagine an outrageously camp and flamboyant Phil would be quite entertaining.

I imagine the millions in the bank from the amicable divorce settlement will console her somewhat.

or peanuts for her old banger

You're right, I'm not. What was the "wow" for?

TL;dr 8 pages on someone’s sexual orientation..

The guy has been one of the more reliable and respected presenters for the bbc..

I think you'll find it's 8 pages of no one really giving a fig what his orientation is.

Gotta have a card, if you want a top TV role on the BBC now

A straight, ordinary male doesn't tick any diversity boxes.

Lmao. Yup!

It's not a massive assumption, he's had a sexual relationship with his wife for decades. Gay men aren't sexually attracted to women.

Are you really that naive?

Its quite possible to have sex with someone you aren't sexually attracted to.

I mean heck, there's even a profession based around it!
