I can state categorically that this is not an aspect of the UK's public domain that I follow. I did, however, know about Philip Schofield until 1991 when I emigrated.
@fmf saidSome here might still remember the abuse I got for calling Schofield out when his sexual impropriety first leaked and he used his position as breakfast TV anchor to present himself as the victim of his own repressed sexuality as he gently sobbed crocodile tears to his viewers who oohed and ahhed at the poor oppressed lying little toad.

@divegeester saidNot sure about the relevance of his brother or if we are tainted by the crimes of a sibling. (If that's not what you believe, then not sure why you mentioned his brother).

His brother also recently charged with sexually abuse of an 11 year old.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidI'm not sure of its relevance either. But it might be relevant.

Was P. Schofield [who is now known to have form in terms of abuse of power /sexual impropriety] aware of the abuse his brother committed? Did he alert anyone to it? Did he ever lie to protect his brother?
P. Schofield has shown a nasty proclivity for illicit sex and poor judgement: has he shown any poor judgement about his brother's nasty proclivity for sexual abuse?
Could P. Schofield have helped that 11-year-old child? Or did he keep the sexual conduct secret, as he did with himself?
As I say, I'm not sure of its relevance but a few questions could be asked.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidPerhaps he knew about it, maybe suspected it. Perhaps it’s a family trait…sexual misbehaviour and lying about it.

Perhaps it will be another 12 months of jazz-handed deflections, virtue-signalling and wokist faux outrage before we find out.

@fmf saidNot really following the story, but did read something about him disowning his brother.

I still think adding it to the OP was a cheap shot. Philip is his own person and should be judged as such.

@divegeester saidAh, a tenuous link built on perhaps and maybe.

I see a sad celebrity who lied about a gay affair, presumably to keep it from his family and hide his sexuality/protect his career. - To try and link this to the criminal acts of his brother is also pretty sad.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidThis is the sort of rhetoric you were coming out with a year ago when the Schofield drama first kicked off.

@divegeester saidNo idea what you're talking about.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidIf P. Schofield knew absolutely nothing about his brother's crimes, then there is no link.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidDisowned his brother after his deeds came to light?
