i would argue that phillip schofield is saying - phillip schofield is saying that the relationship with20 years old, not 15, and he has strenuously denied any accusations of grooming. he said categorically that interview, i am said categorically that interview, iam not said categorically that interview, i am not a groomer. the term mentoring is like the same thing wise—mac while, it's not, it's very different. i think everyone knows that. there is some truth to that. but at 15, you have got to be very clear, despite boundaries, if there is a clear age gap and even at 20 years old, if it is someone that looks up to you, once to work in the entertainment industry, then it should have never gone past that. yes, they were two consenting adults, but still, it's just an odd relationship to reallyjust have. and then for him to label him as a mate, and then a boyfriend, basically you're saying he isjust and then a boyfriend, basically you're saying he is just a friend with benefits. but you're saying he isjust a friend with benefits. but there will be plenty _ friend with benefits. but there wi

and also both to phillip schofield and also the young man involved as well?hey haven't learnt anything. they haven't. they treat them as commodities. and i know it's a lovelyjob, and i know that you earn money, but also, the television stations earn money from them. but they're not commodities, they're people, and they're employed. if my employer didn't take care of me, there'd be all hell to pay. and there's not. you know, they'rejust sidelined and not protected. and what would your message be tonight to the media what would be your message tonight, if you have one, to the young man and to phillip schofield? i hate thought that philip and this young man are going through such an awful time. it's bad enough when you're... it's in private, but when it's in every single paper, let's hope for the best, and, you know, i send my regards to philip and the young lad, and hope they get over this, and they will. they will. don't do anything silly, or... you've got your daughters, you've got your friends. and i hope the young lad's got someone as well that they can tal

phillip schofield in the interview did say, look, i lied about it.t could itv have done about it? he is not laying the blame there saying that they should have stepped in in certain points, but certainly questions, because there has certainly been a great deal of rumour and speculation about this and requirement now is some hard facts. in the longer interview he says there was a homophobic elements, but downplayed the power dynamic. it has been reported around stories about payoffs and nda. what were the answers eschenbach he said categorically no payoffs, no ndas, injunctions or super injunctions, categorically no. no ndas, injunctions or super but the question, of course, is would it be the same level of scrutiny and attention if it had been a 20 or 21—year—old woman rather than a man and he said there is clearly, he feels, some element of homophobia in this. he said that explicitly. the question also arises, how was it that this person arrived in the workplace in the first place? because he had a role in there being a work placement and this man g

about the phillip schofield - itv. about the phillip schofield affair. they know it, and what did they do about it, we now know a great deal more. the first time they really began to raise concerns about this was back at the end of 2019, the beginning of 2020. this wasjust before phillip schofield came out on a show on this morning. they said that they spoke to both people involved, and both made denials. they said, phillip schofield made a categorical denial that there was any relationship at all. so did person x. they looked at this, they said, it is not a messy review, and essentially over a long period of time, there were 12 denials that there was any relationship there. then, we take it through to recent events, and we got more details about why phillip schofield actually left this morning in the first place. it appears to have been a decision made with kevin lygo, the programme director of itv. there were so much concern in the newspapers, so much noise around that it was decided that he would step down from this morning. but, he was asked, would y

it's important to emphasise this is his account of events, this is phillip schofield's account of events at a very particular time on the basis of the evidence in front of us today. other people, including the young man schofield had an affair with, will have their version of events. itv have their version of events. itv have an external review which could uncover fresh detail about itv�*s handling of this issue and you leave that interview this afternoon feeling while we are getting slowly closer to the truth about phillip schofield the real question, the big question, is whether britain's biggest commercial service wrought castor is sufficiently interested in and tough on potential abuse of power and i think that is where the story goes next. and you can see amol�*s interview with phillip schofield across bbc news and the iplayer from six o'clock tomorrow morning. thanks very much, amol rajan. police in bournemouth have ruled out suggestions that a 12—year—old girl and a 17—year—old boy, who died after being pulled from the sea yesterday, had been hit by a vessel. a man in his a0s was
