Saying sorry is the buzz word these days, just say it all will be fine just ask Boris
At the end of the day, I don't really care what any of these "celebrities " get up to. They have no real effect on my life.

Here we go.
A TV nobody cheats on his wife by having an affair with a younger partner. Yawn. How original!
This keeps popping up and I don't know why. Is the suggestion that the partner is or was underage? That would be a matter for the police, wouldn't it? If not, it's a load of old holier than thouness as far as I can see.

A nobody he is the face of one of the biggest media outlets in the country, were has the morale compass gone or are we at a stage were it's ok, everybody he works with knows the truth but it is kept a big secret just like they did with Saville, some young people are easily impressed by people like him fame money the power to unlock doors in the pursuit of his own pleasure, what about his wife and kids how must they be coping with it, imagine going to school knowing all the class are talking behind your back, i feel sorry for his wife and kids, wether he has broken the law or not his behaviour is a question of morality and the message it sends, so no it is not about a nobody it's about someone using their status to impress for their own pleasure which is the lowest of the low and very creepy. and before anybody asks no i am not a prude i do like a bit of rough and tumble but with the right person

What is this "truth" of which you speak? Is it something the police should know about?
TV personalities, are nobodies. They're not intellectuals, statesmen or women, politicians, philosophers, investigative journalists... etc, etc, nobodies; just a face as you say.
Nobody in this forum has ever had an extarmarital affair have they? Not the merest dalliance, I'm sure. The thought had never even become a glimmer in the mind of even the least holy of us. Is it the age gap, then? Plenty of real celebrities have affairs with youngsters old enough to be their daughters or even grand-daughters. and vice-versa. But if you think he's another Saville, then isn't it time the rozzers got involved? If he's not then lets' give him and his family a bit of space to pull their lives back together without our sanctimonious moralising. Can't see any middle ground, really.

I did not say he was a Saville, as for a dilly or a dally, i got married when i was 36 so all the dilly dally stuff was done and dusted and i can say in 34 years i have not strayed from my chosen path, i like being married why would i destroy it for a fleeting few minutes

We're east of Vannes between Péaule and Redon. Not far from the borders of 44 and 35. Nicely out in the sticks. Of course we have to rough it: no fish and chip shops, few decent pubs, but no real ale. Life's hard, but we manage. Local lad (Brummie)of international fame doing a blues concert in the next village along this evening. Looking forward to that.Tis a wonderful part of the world, Concerneau, Vannes, Quimper, St Malo, Lorient, to name a few, and i appreciate your offer
BBC News 8 minutes ago -
ITV has said it investigated “rumours” of a relationship between Phillip Schofield and a younger employee in 2020 - but both “repeatedly denied” it.
Schofield quit ITV on Friday after admitting he had had an affair with a younger male colleague at the network and had lied to cover it up.
The TV presenter said the relationship had been "unwise, but not illegal".
Some former ITV daytime figures said the revelations raised questions about how much the network's managers knew.
An ITV spokesperson said: "Further to our statement last night, ITV can confirm that when rumours of a relationship between Phillip Schofield and an employee of ITV first began to circulate in early 2020, ITV investigated.
"Both parties were questioned and both categorically and repeatedly denied the rumours, as did Phillip's then agency YMU.
"In addition, ITV spoke to a number of people who worked on This Morning and were not provided with, and did not find, any evidence of a relationship beyond hearsay and rumour.
"Phillip's statement yesterday reveals that he lied to people at ITV, from senior management to fellow presenters, to YMU, to the media and to others over this relationship."
Former ITV daytime presenters including Eamonn Holmes and Dan Wootton have suggested ITV bosses have questions to answer about how much oversight they had on one of their most high-profile broadcasters.
Schofield released a statement to the Daily Mail on Friday, confirming he had had an affair with a young male employee who worked at the channel.
He was still married to his wife Stephanie Lowe at the time of the affair. They separated in 2020, after he came out as gay.
Schofield said he was "so, very, very sorry" for being unfaithful to his wife, and for lying to his colleagues, agents, employers, friends, the media, the public and his family about the relationship.
He added: "Contrary to speculation, whilst I met the man when he was a teenager and was asked to help him to get into television, it was only after he started to work on the show that it became more than just a friendship.
"That relationship was unwise, but not illegal. It is now over."
The 61-year-old's exit from the network means he will no longer present the British Soap Awards next month.
He will also not front a new prime-time series which ITV had said last week they were developing with him.
An earlier statement from ITV said: "Phillip made assurances to us which he now acknowledges were untrue and we feel badly let down."
It follows significant online speculation over several months about his personal relationships.
Dermot O'Leary, who presents This Morning on Fridays opposite Alison Hammond,declined to comment on Schofield's affair on Saturday.
"I don't think it's appropriate for me to comment, especially without any knowledge," he told reporters outside BBC Radio 2, where he presents a weekend show.
The latest revelations come just a week after Schofield left his role at This Morning, following reports of a rift with co-star Holly Willoughby.
Schofield had presented This Morning since 2002, with Willoughby joining him as a co-presenter in 2009.
In his statement on Friday, Schofield said his departure from the show was unrelated to the affair with the colleague, who the BBC is not naming.
Schofield's final appearance on This Morning was on Thursday 18 May, and he announced his departure from it that weekend.
Cover presenters Hammond and O'Leary paid tribute to Schofield at the start of Monday's programme.
Willoughby is currently on holiday but is set to return to the show on Monday 5 June.
Talent agency YMU has also cut ties with the presenter following his announcement about the affair.
In a statement to the BBC, Schofield said: "It is with the most profound regret that after 35 years of being faultlessly managed by YMU I have agreed to step down from their representation with immediate effect."
In May, his brother Timothy Schofield was jailed for 12 years after being found guilty of sexually abusing a boy.

It seems some regulars are determined to keep asking the "This is a brewing forum what is this doing here" type questions every time they read something they dont like even though it has been pointed out several times this forum is for "All non brewing chat" and i have also asked members several times to contact me if you want the Snug and all content from it to be hidden from view, from now on when the question appears the mod team will remove it and all quotes and replies to it.
