Who knows? Who really cares? Well, there's the witch hunters who like nothing better than to find something wrong so they can complain. "He must have done something terrible or we wouldn't be talking about it ... "

it makes a temporary diversion from being enraged about Greta or gender neutral toilets.
 
Good on him for coming out. I feel sorry for the wife though, but if anything it would make his career stronger. If this was 10 + years or so ago, I don't think it would have went down as well
 
I find the interest in the Philip Schofield affair rather disconcerting.
He was a 61 year old man having an affair with a younger male colleague, a 20 year old.

OK, he made a mistake lying about the affair. Others have done likewise, including others who were expected to not lie in their career.
They went on to even greater lies, often with the tribal support of some of the electorate.

I'm wondering whether the morbid interest is motivated by homophobia.
There's been many affairs of older men and younger women (and vice-versa) that have not generated much interest.

Why the morbid interest in Philip Schofield?

I'm reminded of a quotation of Noam Chomsky:
As long as the general population is passive, apathetic, diverted to consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome.
 
He was 15 when they met.
According to Schofield he was 20 when the affair began. He might have met the lad when he was 15, but it was several years later that they worked together. So I'm guessing it's suspicious minds that fill in the blanks.

In a statement to the Daily Mail on 26 May, Schofield admitted that, before leaving his wife in 2020, he had carried on an extramarital affair with a younger male ITV co-worker.[87][91] He had first met the co-worker while giving a talk at the drama school where the latter was then a 15-year-old student.[92] Schofield later arranged a job interview for the co-worker at This Morning, where he was hired as a production assistant.[93][94] Schofield stated that the affair had begun when the co-worker was 20 years old, at which point Schofield was in his mid-50s,

While there is no indication that the affair started when the young boy was 15, it is understood that it was at this time that Schofield promised to get the boy an interview in the future.
