Phillip Schofield Scandal BBC Interview Body Language 

So maybe, if you are questioning your sexuality; you shouldn't expect someone young enough to be your grandchild to provide the answers?

At the heart of this is the fact that an older man used his status and power to have an affair with a much younger person, and when it went badly, it was the young guy that paid the price. Now the older man is playing the victim because his actions have caught up with him.

Imagine if your own child met an "old" man when they were 10-11 years old and ended up being sexual with him by the time they turned 18. This should in no way be acceptabel - ever! He's full of shit and the way everyone who has ever worked with him describes him, he sounds like an awful human being. The only thing he's sorry for is himself

I live in England and we have had quite enough of these monsters. There is and has been far too many powerful individuals who have gotten away with this kind of behaviour. It is a stain on our reputation.

Any time an adult in a position of fame or power decides to engage in ANY kind of relationship with a minor, it's super sus. You have absolutely nothing in common with a literal child. If you want to be a mentor, there are programs for that that at least have some kind of oversight. You can use your platform to share the information. You do not need to be speaking privately with a child. It's always grooming, always. Can we stop being gross, PLEASE?

You've got to remember he's an interviewer himself... he's literally done multiple segments on his show on body language expert's talking about how to catch people out who've committed crimes... if anyone knows techniques to not get caught out in an interview, it's him.

He lied about being gay, he lied for his brother the predator and he lied about the relationship with this young man, but we have to believe what he's saying now 🤔

In my career, and my life, I’ve ‘mentored’ many young people…but it never even crossed my mind to even invite them into my home, let alone pursue a s3xu@l relationship with them. That’s a line you just should never cross, because, whatever anyone says, there is a power imbalance. It’s grooming 101 plain and simple.

This had been brewing for a good few years! Philip came out on the show a year or two ago....even back then it was known about the young runner. He had lots of people hit with gagging orders so it would remain as quiet as possible. The orders are due to run out over the next month or so. I'm sure there will be more coming out! Thanks Logan, for covering this 🙏

He's meant to be a mentor and role model. He abused that trust and now is held responsible. Not sorry about where he is, this needs to happen so predators like him see what they pay for grooming young people and using their trusted position to do so. Disgusting.....

As a UK citizen, with some friends in the business, this whole thing goes much deeper…he actually met the young man when he was around 10/11 yrs old at the time. As for the “no whiff of impropriety”…this is debatable, and the subject of much speculation here in the UK. If certain sources, and message interactions are to be believed, this young man is one of a number. As for nobody at ITV being aware of the relationship, it was an open ‘secret’, and PS certainly met up with him way more than 6/7 times…the young man in question (MM), believed he was in a genuine, loving relationship with PS. It’s even EXTREMELY weird that PS is paying for the young man’s legal team, to me this seems like further manipulation of the young man.

School visits, visits to the studio and sexual activity in the dressing room sounds VERY Jimmy Saville. Him repeatedly saying "there's never been a wiff of anything " means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING there were no public "wiffs" with Saville, Rolf Harris and others..... Him saying the young man needed "independent advise" then says so he "put him in touch with a lawyer" ... So IT'S NOT INDEPENDENT THEN IS IT. His attempts to make him seem the victim is wrong, disgusting and just makes him look so much worse (if that's possible)

I grew up with him being a childrens tv presenter and even back then, i never really cared for him or liked watching him on tv. I never watched him as an adult either. I found him to come across as arrogant, patronising, full of self importance and deceiving. When he came out as gay, i honestly thought "what an absolute twat bag!" His poor wife and daughtets. I felt so bad for his wife, having built a marriage and her life with him for all those years only to find out hes gay. How must that make her feel, my heart truly breaks for her because EVERYONE knew he was coming out because he'd been "found out" about dating a guy. All propaganda to make sure he came out (no pun intended!) looking brave and all that bollocks! No one cares if you are gay, its no big deal but people care if you lead on an innocent women for absolutely years and then cheat on her! He abused his power. He thought he was untouchable, infallible and out right groomed a young lad. PS is an absolute piece of garbage and his now dumster fire of a career is exactly what he deserves.

He's an actor. Plus, he and his co presenter put people on the spot all the time. He thought he was untouchable. Now he's crying about his humanity. It may not *all* be an act, but it doesn't feel 💯 genuine.

As a Brit, this is very interesting (and concerning) to see how the media must be presenting this so you. Here’s some information from the end of a Brit. (For legal reasons, I’ll say this is all alleged) OKAY. SO… Philip met the victim when he was ELEVEN. The victim was a child actor in multiple childrens programmes on the childrens BBC (CBBC) and was already ‘in TV’ but it was known to those around him in ITV that he was struggling with money. Philip paid for the victim to be driven to and from his HOME multiple times. Apparently very very regularly. This was when the victim had already been employed by ITV, and ITV supposedly knew that this was happening, as they would’ve had to sign off on payments. Philip actively used his money to benefit the victim, his own personal money, which is odd. He speaks multiple times about professionalism, but that’s not professional, neither was the ‘meal’ or the attitude he has towards other people working lower than him on the network he worked at. They moved the victim to a different programme on itv when more reports came in, from this morning, to loose women, where he was supposedly looked out for more, but I fear that separation may have just made the way Philip was him, as more lustful. Many people have spoken out, some anonymously (for fear of the repercussions) to explain he was “narcissistic” and explained how he was mean to the people around him and didn’t care to even speak to the people working for him. It is well known in the UK at this point that ITV is SKETCHY. They’ve had post show su*cides, and now theyre saying that they did a “thorough investigation” into these “rumours” (which other people had spoken up about and been told that they’re harmful rumours and to stop spreading them) They knew about the worry surrounding this young vulnerable person and this rich older man arguably one the most powerful public positions in television. Philip is NOT married. He ended his relationship with his ex wife and came out on the programme ‘this morning’ (which he is the host of) supposedly around the time that the predatory accusations were brought up internally again. Supposedly for fear of their presenter looking like a cheat, they were more inclined to encourage him coming out on the telly, and could then pass of the predatory behaviour as “legal” … Philip pays THIRTY THOUSAND A MONTH basically for negative media suppression. He has a “super injunction” against the media, basically so that negative press about him isn’t allowed to be shared. It’s very deep and probably very deep in their company (itv) with an environment of suppressing and dismissing concerns. There is so much more to this, and the power dynamic is off the scale. A child to young man, most likely unsure of his sexuality, processing as a person, being put in a position of comfort by an old rich man who is gay. Gay≠predatory. But in this case, it’s a very concerning thing to see, considering he admits to an intimate relationship, knowing we know he met him as a young child, and was in a position of power over him. Even if it was “legal” in the sense of age, (I don’t believe it is) the power dynamic is still terrifying. The victim seeker approval and comfort and saw that in a man who has what he didn’t: money, comfortability, a stable career, and I dread to think on how many levels, that comfortability was taken advantage of. His statements are very orchestrated. It’s all written out, itv is planning it all with his former co-host too. It’s so much deeper than this video makes it seem. I’m worried for the victim, who is a wonderful actor, and I watched growing up, as I fear he will never be seen as his work, and only as the person who was groomed by Philip. He deserves so much better, and I fear for him as he realises the extent of the long situation he was in, with someone he looked up to, using him. He was (and is) young and vulnerable, and he is still somewhat controlled by Philips money, with the lawyers. I dread to think about the victims career after this. I wish him all the best. And I’m (unfortunately) confident that because of Philips money and connections, no real justice will be served. The dismissal in “be kind to everyone” after a vunerable person has been taken advantage of is so uncomfortable yet not surprising. I hope this makes the situation more clear. It’s so uncomfortable to watch unfold.

Thank you for this video. Please keep in mind this guy spent his whole life living multiple lies. He deceived his wife all those years. Also he met the young lad at about 11 years old, not 15

The guy has 30+ year career as a TV presenter and interviewer. He is a master manipulator.

He’s paying for the lawyer? Now that’s sketchy

You got caught Phil, own it.

Why would he engage a lawyer for the “allegedly “ abused person? Rumour has it an NDA is due to end in July.

He’s acting and he’s a narcissist and this whole act is designed to come across in a certain way to some how redeem some credibility

So the guy is 20 YEARS OLD... and a famous celebrity (who is heavily reported to have no time for his own team) suddenly declares its dangerous outside and he didnt want to leave hin on his own!!!!?????.... what a load of bull crap.

How tf is grooming unintentional?? Being attracted to a minor and pursuing a relationship with them is grooming. There’s nothing unintentional about that

Sir, you can't sit there, voice shaking and all, then say you did "nothing wrong". The whispering such an act! He knows full well, he's mad he got caught 🤷🏼‍♀️ jog on pal x

“Never been a hint of that in my career” is not the same as “I never did that.” Trying to rely on a reputation that is in tatters because he has nothing else is what it feels like. Also “something happened” in the dressing room? It’s like when people say “the gun just went off.” Nobody ever pulls the trigger. As a professional who had time to prepare and who chose to give this interview, you’d think he’d be better at telling his own story if it were indeed innocent.

He is lying about something - that's pretty obvious.

Do you not feel he has been told on how to behave regarding this interview. They will have top experts to tell him how to behave from body language. This goes so much deeper.

Have you seen the video of Jack Jones celebrating his one million followers by letting off a party popper in the restaurant? Schofield is there with Mathew having a cosy chat and a meal. That was in March 2015, the lad was 13.

Oooh I’m so glad you are covering this! I’ve been thinking I would love to hear your thoughts on it since it became a story.

what 60yr old even has an affairwith a kid they've known since they were ten

Edit: Dang, I'm so disappointed... I loved Phillip... This is clearly grooming, even if he didn't intend that. Him being famous and older creates the perfect condition for manipulating someone younger. I knew something had happened with him but didn't know what. I guess I'll discover it right now. Brb!

I never watched the show and can't really care less about what happens to him. He used his position of trust to groom young people that have been entrusted to him.... He has to take his celebrity status with the negative feedback, not just the money and privileges that come with it.

What irks me the most is that not a single so-called 'Journalist' has gone to Gordon for comment during this whole debacle..

You failed to mention/note the rapid eye blinking when asked when Phillip was asked when he first met the young man!

11:38 no... thats like a teacher saying "I've taught over 10,000 kids in my career and i only groomed 1, so im not guilty"... wtf?!?! No, its not fair.... it means nothing.

I live in England and was hoping and praying you would make a video about this 🧐

Philip is not just a TV presenter/personality he is also an actor and has been in many big theatrical stage shows. His brother was also just sentenced to 12 years in prison so he probably is grieving the loss as he also apparently disowned him. Put these together with the loss of his job and being caught out add to that a person who enjoys talking about himself more than anything and this interview is the result 🙄 Hopefully the guy will have the courage to speak out, make a ton of money himself and get him sent down to be with his brother!

Edit: It was his co-presenter who read out his statement while he sat beside her trying to look suitably upset and confused.

He does not and did not care for M. He first met him when M was only 10 years old, was taking him out to dinner when M was only 13 years old apparently. He denied gro*ming, that is exactly what comes across that he did. This and his co-stars 'speech' about it came across as fake af. Philip recently even wheeled out his own very elderly poor mother and had a photoshoot of him with her strolling along, sitting on a bench etc, he is just a gold standard manipulator and narc. Poor M was shipped off to another prime tv show when Philip had finished with him, just beyond cretinous

So interested to hear your take on this, thank you. The one thing I wouuld say to you is this is a hugely manipulative man.

Yes so interested to see your thoughts on this. Would like to see you watch Hollys reaction to his exit on this morning too

I'm still watching, but had to pause and subscribe. You're really good - I watch similar on you tube, but none are as in depth, and utterly concise as you. Keep up the good work !

No he is well rehearsed and a master manipulator!

Why on earth would you go out for dinner "to wait" for a 20 year old male to be picked up? It's just a bit bizarre

He gets introduced (by whom) to a teenaged fan, he then is asked (by whom) to follow the boy on social media, keeps in touch with him, and when the now 19-year-old fan asks to visit the studio and get some work experience, he is immediately brought in and cared fo by the celebritiy he admires. He is pampered, "loved by everyone" (see, Schofield had no choice but fall for him), given advanced career choice upon advanced career choice in a very short time, all supported heavily by Schofield, and that is "just his normal way" of treating his fans? Come on! The thing is, this particular "fan" was smart enough to get something out of this "special treatment" that would eventually have released him from the grip Schofield had on him. A terrifying thought for everyone who feels the need to control others.

I’m happy that you covered this as Im so confused with Philip and what’s happening with his brother..doesn’t help that here in the uk there’s bearly nothing on the case.

Im so so sick of hearing one grooming story after another, its like will we ever learn as a society? Like ever?

I'm really glad you made this, it's been interesting to me over the last few weeks seeing a pretty wholesome seeming person fall so far in society. I'd definitely like to see your analysis of the rest of the interview for sure.

So ready for this Trying to figure out why ppl are so ready to believe him when he says the lad was young but not illegal 🤔

Sadly this sort of behaviour is almost endemic in the entertainment industry & stage schools don't seem to have the same safeguarding measure of the children to whom access is given as regular schools. It is clear that Phillip has made many enemies over the years who are picking at his remains now but I am also suspicious of them because there's an element of covering their own backs and claiming plausible deniability where one doesn't exist by their sheer proximity to him and his antics.

The young runner declared his love for schofield on the national television awards, he also interviews him in one video ive seen and the young runner says something like " where do you see yourself in 10 years' ' and schofield replies " well if im still getting away with it il be a happy man" 👀

Interesting to me how his demeanour shifted when the grooming word came into play. He went defensive and cold in a flash. I’m not having it.

He never showed empathy and kindness to others who say they are struggling with mental health. He went as far as saying to Duchess of Sussex..”shut up”. He launch unrelenting attacks on her using his platform and now he wants empathy??? Please stop preaching to us about kindness. Kindness is not one sided or biased or subjective. It should be accorded to all who deserve it. What he did is egregious. The boy was a minor when he befriended him even though the relationship was not consummated until he was of age. Allegedly. It’s wrong end of. How many more boys has he had inappropriate contact with? He deserves an Oscar for this performance. Of course he’s manipulating those he can manipulate. Who is the innocent person here, him? What about the boy involved? Who is fighting for him? Playing the victim is despicable. We are letting our boys down. I think this rallying round Schofield should stop.

I had just made a comment on the BBC video of interview that I would love a body language person to look at the interview and here you are :)))) CHEERS!~ Its pretty hard to say that he didnt groom this young kid/man HE did and I do believe more will come out regarding others. I found it very tellign that he paid for the young mans lawyer! thanks again

You should have analysed his interview with The Sun. He contradicts himself SEVERAL times and both videos were done only days apart from each other. This makes me question body language analysis when it is clear to me that this man cannot keep his story correct in just two interviews.

Invited to “a” school. Phil conveniently left out it was his own school that he ran in partnership with his friend that the kid attended as a student.

when they went out 'for a bite too eat whilst waiting for him to be picked up' you can see in that video they're drinking wine as well, hardly just waiting for a lift. i honestly think phillip loved the power he had, how he was seen by this teenager who had hopes and dreams of being in the tv industry and used his power to get what he wanted sexually. i'm not saying he did this while he was underage but still 18, 19 is so young. if he wasn't working with him, i don't think it would be as big a story, once you're 18 you can make those decisions but still, at phillips age you'd think he would know it's wrong to abuse his power in the telly world and honestly i just find it gross that at his ripe old age he would find someone that young attractive anyway, i'm 27 and the thought of a 18, 19, 20 year old is just far too young they're still kids really. i think you're right i do think this was grooming but whether it was intentional or not we'll never really know. also, imagine in your own life if you knew a kid at 15, would u really fancy them as soon as they got a bit older, just plain creepy.

Just checking in with you... I hope you're ok. There are various times when you seemed to be affected by this story in a way we don't usually see from you. Make sure you're taking your self care seriously ❤

Nope, you met him when he was were 10! Philip is a master manipulator, and he has lied so many times. I have no sympathy for him whatsoever! He has only his gross self to blame. As a UK person, we have had enough of these sickos, using their 'power' and influence for disgusting purposes. I feel for his victims and that is all. And even if he did wait till Matt was 20, which I doubt, he still groomed him.

This was a totally rehearsed/scripted interview with someone clearly treating him softly. I'd like to see him grilled properly.

He has been also an actor, after all the years of being an interviewer he probably would have a good idea what the questions would be. This guy fooled his wife for thirty years, it's beyond belief he had no idea he was gay, questioning his sexuality in his 50's.

Im in UK also been subbed to you for years so was thrilled to see you cover this

So if he has helped so many people and likes to pay it forward...where are they now?? Didn't hear of anyone saying what a great mentor he was. He said he follows back thousands of people. Yet he never said he gets thousands of requests from young people to help them get work experience. How many does he help every year?? If he does wouldn't he have made sure he was never alone with a young person for everyones safety. Why did he take such a personal interest in this teenager/young man? Sounds like he was waiting for him to become legal (maybe because of what was happening with his brother) Meanwhile M was falling in love and thought he was in a relationship... But ended up being tossed aside when he wanted to be acknowledged.

I would like to see the rest of the video! Please post part 2!

Ohhhhh I was waiting for this! Watched it myself and can't wait to see what Logan thinks of this!

I love Observe and the work that Logan does, but does anyone else feel that Logan's read of PS in this video was somewhat biased and sympathetic to PS, even before the analysis of the interview took place? From the very beginning, when Logan goes over the back-story, much of what is said is about PS's hardships suffered as a result of this, including that it's disheartening to watch this happen to him given what a kind presence he's been in the world. Throughout the interview, I noted multiple verbal and non-verbal spikes that I would have expected Logan to jump on, but instead, they got glossed over or fairly minimized. Again, I love Logan and Observe, but this video has got me somewhat questioning his bias and, therefore, his credibility in this particular video. Anyone else feel this way? Am I crazy?

There is a clip of him with the boy at a restaurant circulating on social media which is why I think he felt the need to address it and explains somewhat why made him overly uncomfortable. Questionable if he looks 20+ in that clip

Those Schofield brothers are like two peas in a pod! Apart from the fact that one is successful/famous and the other lived in his shadow but his brother found it totally natural to describe to Phillip what his victims young body was like!🤮

If Schofield did nothing wrong and not broken any laws why is Holly and ITV acting like he did . Something not adding up here

The screwed-up power dynamics of all of this.... an older, richer, well-established man having a "relationship" with a poor, new actor who was a teenager.... using his money to pay for the younger one's way.... no. Just, no. Phillip is the one who was in control. He had complete responsibility in this. This whole situation is really messed up.

Feel Schofeel is an appalling actor. ❤

I know this is best to watch, to try to see what he sees, but I will genuinely enjoy having this soothing voice in the background while doing some prep for my entrance exams. Thank you very much for such perfect timing:))

Just a reminder that the BBC protected and facilitated Jimmy Saville....

Love your analizys and worl man! Your channel is awesome!😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤

I live in the uk, theres so much to this story you havent mentioned. I'm genuinely disappointed in the amount of explaining away for him you're doing. And how much you're believing his performance

I'm looking forward to his mugshot and him sharing a cell with his brother.

It would be really amazing to see how this plays out if he does actually take responsibility and try to do the right thing instead of denying, deflecting, and ignoring the problems it creates for those hurt along the way. I'm already looking forward to part 2. 😅 I watch these videos over and over. I find them very calming. Thanks for all your effort. ❤

I don’t buy his regret for the young man he took advantage of. His regret is that he was caught. Regardless of whether the young man was of legal age or not, Philip Schofield was in an obvious position of authority and that makes the power dynamic between the two of them very unbalanced.

I'd love to see the rest of the interview! Great work!

Watching someone own up to his mistakes, being honest, is so refreshing. Here in the US, distraction and obfuscation are the usual responses. I would love to see the rest, personally. I don't admire his actions but we are all human. Accepting his part is pretty rare.

Honestly I feel he feels emotional because he's finally being called out.

Technically he’s lying because he met that ‘boy’ when the boy was around 10 years old, & there’s a TikTok video of them both alone without parents, etc, in a restaurant & that boy was around 12 years old.

Please can we stop this narrative of poor Phillip. He groomed a child (allegedly). If this had been a regular person not in the public eye, like his brother quitely rightly the police would be dealing with this. He cultivated a relationship with a child, not a young man (allegedly). What about the child's mental health. This is so sickening that we're giving him air-time. He lied about it because he knew it was wrong, so did the people he worked with. Clearly people have not learned anything from Jimmy Saville.

Thank you for covering this! Big in the UK and hope US fans enjoy your viseo and learn about the drama, serious stuff😳😳

Please please do a part two we would love to see it! It also be interesting to see you analyse Holly’s statement! Please & thank you 😊 🙏🏼

In his first sentences he uses distancing language’YOU’ instead of ‘I’. And also the first blame he lays at the feet of those telling what has happened not himself. There is maryterdom in his attaining a lawyer for the young victim. On the first meeting question he mentions he met him at a school he was invited to talk at without saying he was a founder of the school itself. Sometimes it’s what you don’t say that is most informative.

The fact he appears genuine and synchronized bares little weight imo.. He’s a very seasoned interviewer and television personality therefore well aware of the importance appearance plays in getting the desired emotions. He’s very comfortable in front of a camera. The age difference along with his position is the crux of the case. He had to have known the prestige and power he would have on that young man and that’s criminal and needs accountability..

I LOVE THE SHIRT & VEST combo ❤. Especially that shirt !💜 Also very sad I have looked into Factor before but Factor doesn't deliver here ... 😭

I have some doubts... because I am sceptical at the notion that we believe someone is telling the truth because they are smooth with their replies. Phillip is a juggernaut in his industry, years of experience and years of doing his own interviews with all sorts of characters and personalities. He's had so much prep for this interview and case, so of course he would need to have his facts in check otherwise it would seem suspicious. Just like when you're about to face court or a police interview, your lawyer and legal team are going to encourage you to have your story 'straight' because you need the public/jury/police to believe you.

Him and his wife separated after his very much younger partner was gearing up to expose their relationship, forcing his hand and announced that he was gay, he did this on instagram and live on the tv show he hosted. What everyone is really upset about is that he knew his lover since the guy was a child and doesn’t realise that although it was consensual he Phillip scofield was in a position of authority and power. The fact that he tries to paint himself as a victim is nonsensical at best. The fact he admits to his interactions in direct message with a child but does not see the implications that it can be perceived as being grooming. He most likely wants to dismiss allegations of grooming as his own brother was only last month convicted of sexual crimes against a child. Also his own statements that he is best friends with those in the entertainment industry, who helped him get started is highly concerning, because there were many in the industry at that time who it has come out in recent years were prolific child groomers and abusers.

Would love to see more of this, thank you x

I know everyone wants to yell facts at you-thanks for coming to these relatively clean, info wise, for an objective reading of physical reactions. It’s such an interesting layer to have when looking at the whole thing, and I appreciate your work.

Nobody loses their job or career through an affair with a younger man so my question is how deep does this go and what is not being said !!!

Out of the 11,000+ people hes followed ...how many of them were younger men?

No matter who was the instigator in that initial dressing room meeting, the basics is that a person of mature age with power and lengthy experience in a particular industry voluntarily entered into a relationship with a 20 year old subordinate whom he had personally recommended to his employer. Schofield had previous contact on social media with this person when they were a child. While Schofield's body language, at least in this early portion of the interview, seem to read as relatively truthful, this relationship was a huge, avoidable mistake especially for a person of Schofield's years in the entertainment industry. I would be interested in a followup analysis for the remainder of the interview.

Oh how I was waiting for you to come out with this one. I'll be intrigued for your take on it. And I would love to see you do the whole interview. You've covered this fairly I believe

Yes. The bite to eat meal thing was caught by a RU-vidr who approached them to celebrate his one millionth subscriber. All on film, very awkward.

I'm guessing this is the guy that's currently suspended from BBC and no one wants to name.

This is a man used to adoration and has had a bigger fall from grace because he is a public figure who lied in a major way. His adoration had a lot to do with manipulation and lying to many. This affair was only admitted because it was about to be outed by a news outlet just as his admission that he is gay after lying to his wife and daughters for 27 years.

I think his behaviour in this interview is very suspect- to keep repeating that nothing like this has ever happened before there has been no 'whiff' if anything does not mean it never happened. His clarity on all the interactions suggest somehow this boy was special and it is not something he does to mentor young people to get into the industry = why focus on one boy ?
