7:22 pm
incident. this is in january 2020, where this young runner can fronts. phillip confronts holly, confronts a number of itv executives in front of all the media, front of all of the media, front of all of the media, including me, saw it with my own eyes that that night, nigel and so clearly itv bosses knew there was a big problem . knew there was a big problem. there needed to be some serious damage control. and within just a week you've got schofield on the sofa coming out. now what? eamonn reveals tonight is his absolute fury at being part of this sham . he says he was lied this sham. he says he was lied to by him and ruth were not told about what was going on until just a couple of hours beforehand and what was going on was the sun was about to run a massive expose about the relationship with this young boy. exactly . see, what had boy. not exactly. see, what had happenedis boy. not exactly. see, what had happened is that i, by that point had moved into a different role at the sun, and a decision had been made for the newspaper to have a closer relationship with itv. and as part of that closer relationship, they were
7:23 pm
offered ringside seats and an exclusive interview for this coming up announcement as a result of hinckley, they wouldn't run a story about the young runner, but it was actually something that was prompted by philip. he's a crafty guy. you know, he thought ineed crafty guy. you know, he thought i need to get the biggest tabloid newspaper in the country on my side they're going to on my side if they're going to swallow story. but what was swallow this story. but what was particularly shocking, i think, for eamonn in all of this is that he was used us and he feels used. and he says now because he's been hit all the time, him and ruth have been hit all the time with these pictures of him hugging phillip and supporting phillip . and he says he feels phillip. and he says he feels embarrassed and ashamed when he sees because it was pre—planned , it was cynical and it was done for a reason, of course. and there's an amazing part of the interview , nigel, which we will interview, nigel, which we will show later on my show tonight, where that philip was where he says that philip was acting that whole day and he says he walks into his dressing room first in the morning, room first thing in the morning, throws himself onto knees in
7:24 pm
throws himself onto his knees in front of eamonn and starts sobbing , saying, front of eamonn and starts sobbing, saying, i'm front of eamonn and starts sobbing , saying, i'm gay front of eamonn and starts sobbing, saying, i'm gay. front of eamonn and starts sobbing, saying, i'm gay . and sobbing, saying, i'm gay. and eamonn says, who cares? move on, mate. but look, it's it just shows. i think that what we often see on that sofa where increasingly learning is not the reality and that's what's going to shock the public so much. lots of breaking developments on this story tonight, aren't there aren't there just so we're now seeing a story that says scott field's lover was paid off by itv after shane star's affair rear ended. what do we know aneur— rear ended. what do we know akear mare— rear ended. what do we know about that? well,— ”cir?” vi :: what do we know about that? well, indeed, an itv are about that? well, indeed, an itv earrenrkv— about that? well, indeed, an itv are currently stonewalling the naiv— are currently stonewalling the narkv nak— are currently stonewalling the raw rrark en— are currently stonewalling the daily mail on that. “vig viii daily mail on that. they are inse— daily mail on that. they are just hiding behind the statement that they sent on saturday. that's not going to hold because remember, there's an itv executive going have to executive who's going to have to go of select go in front of the select committee tuesday face committee on tuesday and face mps. so you can't just say we're not answering this question. so there's a big scandal brewing about who knew about this
7:25 pm
payoff, how much did he receive? was any money coming directly from philip or did it all come from philip or did it all come from itv? and then you've got this very woke chief executive , this very woke chief executive, carolyn mccall, who is holier than thou. you know, if you're piers morgan questioning meghan or you're carol mcgiffin questioning the covid vaccines, you're booted off that channel immediately. now today i've actually obtained an email which was sent to carolyn mccall by a former this morning staff member in march sorry, in february 2020, revealing all of the details about what this relationship with the young runner, including a link to a whole load of pictures showing philip and this young man together are itv today refused together are itv today refused to tell me if it was that email that prompted their so—called old failed investigation . we old failed investigation. we know it failed because they swallowed these lies from phillip schofield. so i wonder, i wonder who will appear next

7:47 pm
carefully and we know that, you know, we want the uk to thrive. we want to invest in british businesses . all of that is great businesses. all of that is great in theory for our pension funds, which are long term investments and so in theory, you know, they should provide the patient capital for these kind of projects. but of course, in practise it's what happens with this kind of growth fund. you know, some of the investments go wrong and the risk as things stand the kind pension stand with the kind of pension that we falls on you as that we have, falls on you as the individual. and of course, you know, your retirement income is not something you is not something that you particularly want play with. particularly want to play with. and valuable . and, you and it's valuable. and, you know, it's our money ultimately. so i think very good that we're looking at how pensions can help , but mandating that's another thing entirely. , but mandating that's another thing entirely . and rachel thing entirely. and rachel reeves apparently didn't actually rule out mandating because she's relying on the goodwill of the pensions industry to do this . but of industry to do this. but of course, it all has to be in the interests of us savers at the
7:48 pm
end of the day. and at the moment it's not very clear how that will pan out . no, i mean, that will pan out. no, i mean, the that will pan out. no, i mean, rne argamenr— that will pan out. no, i mean, the argument will— that will pan out. no, i mean, the argument will be- i no, i mean, the argument will be from kakean— the argument will be from labour, look,— the argument will be from labour, look, you know, we're iasr— labour, look, you know, we're iasr earring— labour, look, you know, we're just putting forward policy reeas— just putting forward policy reeas ar— just putting forward policy ideas at this— just putting forward policy ideas at this moment in time, kar— ideas at this moment in time, bar r— ideas at this moment in time, bar r weake— ideas at this moment in time, but i would guess that the nrsrene— but i would guess that the historic relationship between the historic relationship between me kakear— historic relationship between the labour party and the private eensren— the labour party and the private pension industry— the labour party and the private pension industry what pension industry after what nrewn— pension industry after what nrewn ara— pension industry after what nrewn are by— pension industry after what brown did by taxing the dividends— brown did by taxing the dividends back in 97, must be eae— dividends back in 97, must be bad .— dividends back in 97, must be bad . ana— dividends back in 97, must be bad . and when— dividends back in 97, must be bad . and when she talked about bad. and when she talked about this .— bad. and when she talked about we . rnrs— bad. and when she talked about this , this was— bad. and when she talked about this , this was this— bad. and when she talked about this , this was this the first this, this was this the first rime— this, this was this the first rrme vea— this, this was this the first time you were— this, this was this the first time you were in the industry? we nae— time you were in the industry? we had heard— time you were in the industry? we had heard of— time you were in the industry? we had heard of this idea ? no, we had heard of this idea? no, it's we had heard of this idea? no, is keen— we had heard of this idea? no, it's been doing— we had heard of this idea? no, it's been doing the rounds for rime— it's been doing the rounds for rrme . — it's been doing the rounds for some time. and— it's been doing the rounds for some time . '“v: it's been doing the rounds for some time. and indeed, the conservative party has looked at it as an idea and there has been talk of things like lifting the cap on investment charges to enable more investment in the kind of assets that would, you know, produce this kind of growth. so it has been talked about for a while and labour sort of pinning themselves to the mast, if you like, with this kind of you know, pushing it a little further forward and saying we push it further saying we would push it further forward. yes, i mean, it is
7:49 pm
forward. but yes, i mean, it is it's flagging policy ideas at this yes we do need to this stage. yes we do need to see the detail on it and some transparency of where that money would actually go, at would actually go, because at the just very the moment, it's just very broad, isn't it? it's the whole of uk economy. but what are of the uk economy. but what are the of projects and the type of projects and what kind returns we expect kind of returns could we expect from because that's what from them? because that's what we as pension savers. we we want as pension savers. we want that we're want to know that we're generating good returns for ourselves. it must be very anneakr— ourselves. it must be veryi difficult—mean, difficult for people. i mean, ekearkv— difficult for people. i mean, ekearkv rne— difficult for people. i mean, clearly the pensions, apartheid rnar— clearly the pensions, apartheid rnar evrsrs— clearly the pensions, apartheid that exists between the public seeerr— that exists between the public seeerr ane— that exists between the public sector and the— that exists between the public sector and the private sector is enormous. there— sector and the private sector is enormous. there must be i'm rnrnkrng— enormous. there must be i'm rnrnkrng .— enormous. there must be i'm thinking , rebecca, a lot of thinking, rebecca, a lot of eeeeke— thinking, rebecca, a lot of eeeeke renne— thinking, rebecca, a lot of people retire about to retire. wne— people retire about to retire. wne ae— people retire about to retire. who do think— people retire about to retire. who do think they've made aaegaare— who do think they've made adequate provision for their eensrens— adequate provision for their pensions, but— adequate provision for their pensions, but fine with the cost of pensions, but fine with the cost er krvrng— pensions, but fine with the cost of living crisis. _ pensions, but fine with the cost of living crisis. they're really srraggkrng— of living crisis. they're really srraggkrng .— of living crisis. they're really struggling . yeah. so clearly struggling. yeah. so clearly rmkarren— struggling. yeah. so clearly inflation has— struggling. yeah. so clearly inflation has pushed up the cost of inflation has pushed up the cost er krvrng— inflation has pushed up the cost er krvrng rer— inflation has pushed up the cost of living for everybody. �*7 of living for everybody. but if youre— of living for everybody. but if were facing— of living for everybody. but if you're facing living on a on a limited income as pensioners are, it's an awful lot harder. and of course, if you're at retirement and you've seen the value pension fund value of your pension fund decline 1,015% some of them decline 1,015% as some of them
7:50 pm
have in over 2022, then that's very scary too, because you've got less acas to play with and so you've got , you know, you've so you've got, you know, you've got to make that money last. you don't know how long you're going to live for. that's very, very stressful. so, you know, returns are hugely important to retirement what we retirement outcomes. what we invest although might invest in, although we might not feel much control feel like we have much control overit feel like we have much control over it because it's all done for us by workplace pension providers is really important to our retirement outcomes. so, you know, this policy hopefully will lift the lid a little bit on what our pensions are actually invested in already because it's actually mostly global equities, although you some of that although, you know, some of that is the portion of that is reduced people approach reduced as people approach retirement to reduce the risk of people's values and people's values rising and falling but need to know falling. but we do need to know a little bit more about what we're investing in because it does mean so much to us ultimately. you know, people ultimately. and you know, people don't currently don't retire on enough currently , the pensions and lifetime savings association gives us guidelines on what we need for retirement, and most people are
7:51 pm
coming with something coming out with something that gives a basic gives them just above a basic living standard in retirement. at moment, want that to at the moment, we want that to be at least for most be a moderate, at least for most people, we're very, very far people, and we're very, very far away the moment. away from that at the moment. rebecca o'connor from pensionbee,— rebecca o'connor from pensionbee, thank you very much kneeea— pensionbee, thank you very much indeed—me— pensionbee, thank you very much rneeea—me .- pensionbee, thank you very much indeed—me . i've- pensionbee, thank you very much indeed—me . i've got. indeed forjoining me. i've got rime.— indeed forjoining me. i've got rrme. r-ve— indeed forjoining me. i've got rrme. r-ve ger— indeed forjoining me. i've got time. i've got one— indeed forjoining me. i've got time. i've got one quick barrage.— time. i've got one quick barrage. the— time. i've got one quick barrage. the farage, and it's nem— barrage. the farage, and it's from tristan— barrage. the farage, and it's from tristan in— barrage. the farage, and it's from tristan in pudsey , near from tristan in pudsey, near keeas— from tristan in pudsey, near leeds, tristan— from tristan in pudsey, near leeds, tristan far away . leeds, tristan far away. hi, nrgek— leeds, tristan far away. hi, wrgek rm— leeds, tristan far away. hi, nigel. i'm tristan. i'd like to ask you how you thought brexit went for. for me, it didn't go so well . at and yeah, i was just so well. at and yeah, i was just wondering how you thought it went because it looked like it was a bit of a mess, to be honest. so i'd love to hear your answer on that. nige cheers. well, tristan, obviously well well, tristan, obviously a well knewn— well, tristan, obviously a well known character— well, tristan, obviously a well known character in pudsey as eeeeke— known character in pudsey as eeeeke are— known character in pudsey as eeeeke gerng— known character in pudsey as people are going the people are going past the keeping.— people are going past the keeping—.- people are going past the. beeping,_. look, people are going past the- beeping,_. look, you beeping, their horns. look, you knew— beeping, their horns. look, you knew wnare— beeping, their horns. look, you know what? when— beeping, their horns. look, you know what? when we look in the nrsrerv— know what? when we look in the nrsrerv eeeks— know what? when we look in the history books and— know what? when we look in the history books and 100 years rime.— history books and 100 years rime. we— history books and 100 years rime. we-sav- history books and 100 years time, we-say it- history books and 100 years time, we say it was one of time, we will say it was one of rne— time, we will say it was one of me mesr— time, we will say it was one of the most significant constitute narrenak— the most significant constitute national—had- national changes that had naeeenea— national changes that had- naeeenea—vears happened for hundreds of years in

7:53 pm
