As the pugnacious prat returns to the screens, Matthew Steeples is amazed he finds himself suggesting Nadine Dorries MP surprisingly was bang on the nail in slaughtering “rather up himself” Phillip Schofield
Phillip Schofield returned to presenting ITV1’s This Morning yesterday and with this came reminder of how utterly dislikable this dual British and New Zealand citizen truly is.
“I wanted to say that it is really lovely to be back. I have missed the show, everyone here, and also to you [the viewers] and I wanted to say thank you for all your kind messages and support, which were really appreciated, so thank you very much indeed. On with the show.”
Schofield – who most curiously “doesn’t tweet anymore of check my @’s sorry, thanks for all the fun originally though” – previously issued a statement through his lawyer after his brother’s conviction on 3rd April 2023 at Exeter Crown Court.
The self-centred and ever smug self-preservation focused presenter’s prepared piece read:
“My overwhelming concern is and has always been for the wellbeing of the victim and his family. I hope that their privacy will now be respected.”
“If any crime had ever been confessed to me by my brother, I would have acted immediately to protect the victim and their family.”
“These are despicable crimes and I welcome the guilty verdicts. As far as I am concerned, I no longer have a brother.”
Responding to Schofield’s return to the telly box ‘Nasty Nad’ Nadine Dorries MP penned in the Daily Mail this morning of her views on him. In a comment piece she shared:
“I’ve been interviewed by Holly [Willoughby] and Phillip several times, and off-camera found Holly an absolute delight and Mr Schofield rather up himself.”
“On one occasion, I witnessed what appeared to be somewhat intimidating behaviour. Holly was away, and as her stand-in looked down at her script – obviously wanting to see who or what was coming up next – Phillip glared at her and began to jab at her script with his finger. I don’t know about her, but he scared me.”
Further illustrating the dislike towards that came about as a result of him and Holly Willoughby’s actions as they pushed-in to parade past the late Queen Elizabeth II, in October 2022, Grocery Gazette reported that Waitrose had dropped Schofield’s wine range after “the retailers customers branded it undrinkable.” On the retailer’s website, the wines “rated at less than two and a half stars out of five with customer reviews describing the product as “very disappointing” and “not pleasant.” For once also, similarly of its ‘creator,’ maybe the usually anything but bang on the nail Nadine Dorries has a point.

This morning on Twitter, Matthew Steeples asked: “Should Phillip Schofield @Schofe have been so easily welcomed back by @ITV @thismorning after his recent “leave of absence” (that occured at the same time his paedophile brother was sent down)?” and added the hashtags: #PhillipSchofield #Schofield #Queuegate #rudeness #disrespectful #pompous #television. By 11:00am on Tuesday 18th April 2022, the majority of respondents favoured the answer: “No; he’s rude and pompous.”Twitter reacts to the poll conducted by Matthew Steeples. Clearly, the public do NOT like this rotten piece of toerag.Phillip Schofield with his now convicted criminal 54-year-old paedophile brother Timothy Schofield in happier times. After the verdict earlier this month – in a case where the television presenter’s civilian police officer sibling was convicted of three counts of causing a child to watch sexual activity and three counts of engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child – in a statement released by his lawyer, Phillip Schofield remarked: “My overwhelming concern is and has always been for the wellbeing of the victim and his family. I hope that their privacy will now be respected. If any crime had ever been confessed to me by my brother, I would have acted immediately to protect the victim and their family. These are despicable crimes and I welcome the guilty verdicts. As far as I am concerned, I no longer have a brother.” Timothy Schofield was also found guilty of three counts of causing a child to engage in sexual activity and two of sexual activity with a child at Exter Crown Court and had told the television presenter that he’d “had time together” (including watching porn and masturbating) with a child whilst the ‘This Morning’ host was doing the washing up in his very own kitchen.
On 8th November 2012, Schofield handed the then Prime Minister David Cameron a list of names of alleged sex offenders in the Conservative Party which he had found through research on the Internet. That list was partially visible to ‘This Morning’s’ millions of viewers and as a result one person on it, Lord McAlpine, sued. Subsequently, the broadcaster was quite rightly forced to issue and unreserved apology and a statement that read: “ITV and Phillip Schofield have now reached agreement with Lord McAlpine to settle his libel claim, made in relation to the This Morning programme broadcast… ITV and Phillip Schofield apologise unreservedly to Lord McAlpine, have agreed the terms of a statement to be made in open court, and have agreed to pay him damages of £125,000 and his legal costs.” According to ‘International Business,’ “the ITV settlement [was] reportedly less than McAlpine was seeking. However, the peer’s lawyer, Andrew Reid, said he was ‘pleased’ with ITV’s admission that it was wrong and called the settlement ‘pragmatic.’ … Reid told the BBC: ‘The Schofield stunt added fuel to the fire that was already there and we had to take that into account.”Instead of skipping queues and upsetting the nation on multiple occasions, the all-round-angry man and ‘This Morning’ host and ex-sidekick of Gordon the Gopher should quit his ITV job and focus on improving his deservedly slammed boxed wines (right). He thought his red “perfect with olives” whilst the public decided it “better poured down the plughole.” Alternatively, he could put some effort into ‘making up’ with his missing from our screens for quite some time now former close friend, Matthew McGreevy.What a Plonker – The television presenter with his supposed ‘former friend’ Matt McGreevy on another occasion.The ‘This Morning’ host is known for being a very angry and bitter man. Like Ferne McCann (pictured right), a fellow presenter on ITV1 with a reputation for being an utter rotter, he is also known for being incapable of owning his own mistakes.
