Phillip Schofield

[Petrus1983]

Turns out after 27 years of marriage announced he’s gay - fair play to the guy but I always feel sorry for the other partner in these things, or do they secretly know?

[Norfolk B-roads]

Gordon the Gopher knew.

[Stick Legs]

Anyone thought he wasn't?!

[Gary29]

If it's blatantly obvious to everyone who has ever seen him on TV, I think after being married to him for 27 years you'd have some idea!

[98elise]

Rather odd because it's being announced like he's disclosing he has a terminal illness! All sombre, with Holly reading out a statement while he sits in silence.

Does anyone care (in a news sense) these days? It's his private life and something he needs to work out with his wife and family.

Shame that he feels he needs to announce it to the world, but I guess that a person's sexuality is still seen as newsworthy or as a subject of gossip.

The shame is that he felt he couldn’t be out before...

[warch]

No! Is he?

[Reciprocating mass]

Isn’t this np&e material rather than general gassing

[classicaholic]

Its more of a surprise that he wasn't gay!

[Earthdweller]

SO fkING WHAT !

I don’t give a st and I’m sure most people couldn’t give a fk

[Mattygooner]

His wife might.....

[CS Garth]

Good on him for coming out of the broom closet

This deserves more credit.

[Smitters]

How is this in the General Gassing of a car forum? That's far more surprising that Schofield.

My reaction too. It's 2020, who cares?

[Peter911]

I always assumed he was anyway. Who cares. It's nobody elses business. Does he need to bump up his ttter followers?

[anonymous-user]

Coming out is still a thing? It’s 2020 ffs.

That's waaay better than my Gopher joke!

[Drive it fix it repeat]

Not exactly a surprise, also why do people have to announce it to the world. Dont give a FF what people are into, good for them but why do they think other people give a toss.
