Phillip Schofield insists he could ‘drive a bus over so many people’ in the television industry as he reflects on how his famous friends deserted him

As an ardent fan who has followed Phillip Schofield’s illustrious career with unwavering admiration, it is both heartening and saddening to see him return to our screens after a tumultuous year. Heartening because his resilience and courage are truly inspiring, and saddening due to the circumstances that led to his departure from This Morning.

Philip Schofield expressed confidence that he could navigate a bus over numerous individuals within the television industry, as he reminisced about his years in entertainment during the second installment of his Channel 5 program on Tuesday.

Previously known as the host of “This Morning,” a 62-year-old individual has reappeared on television screens for the initial time since parting ways with the ITV program last May after an indiscreet relationship with a younger coworker, which was considered inappropriate.

Philip admitted that he felt like they had abandoned him, yet he acknowledged he might also abandon them in a similar situation.

He insisted: ‘I have been chucked under a bus and I could drive the same bus over so many people but I am not that sort of person. 

I’ve never done it before, but should I find myself with a camera and the lights on, I might end up saying things I hadn’t planned.

The star pondered over the fact that his well-known acquaintances distanced themselves from him following the exposure of his affair, as he went on to say: ‘I understand my actions and regret them deeply, knowing I caused hardship for those I care about the most.’

However, those whom I believed to be friends simply left me behind. It’s as if I’m saying, “Why on earth did this happen?” or “I can’t believe they did this.

He added: ‘I think another presenter or two might have done the same thing, difference is heterosexual.’

In the later part of the show, he clarified: ‘It can be challenging to accept that the individuals you believed you understood so well, may not be as you thought they were.’

Speaking of the situation, he labeled it as a ‘complete breach of trust’. He then asserted, ‘I value authentic connections over superficial ones. I have ten to fifteen true friends who I’d give my life for, and who would do the same for me.’

In Channel 5’s survival series titled “Cast Away,” the broadcaster finds himself isolated on a deserted island near Madagascar for ten days, without any supplies such as food, water, or a film crew for support.

And Phillip hasn’t held back taking multiple swipes at his former colleagues at This Morning. 

Although he does not mention his former co-star Holly Willoughby, he seemed to take aim at her as he said: ‘When you throw someone under a bus, you’ve got to have a really bloody good reason to do it.

‘Brand, ambition, is not a good enough reason to throw someone under a bus.’ 

As the fire at his campsite flickered, he disclosed, “I believe that the world of show business can be narrowed down to just three disappointments.

One person accused another of being a ‘timid individual who always shied away during the incident known as Queuegate,’ whereas the other is labeled as a ‘coward for not standing up for me when I was under attack.’ (This version aims to make the sentences easier to read by using “shied away” instead of “never stepped up,” and “under attack” instead of “being battered.”)

Another one lacks customer focus; it’s more about the brand image than delivering as expected.

Although Philip never explicitly mentioned anyone, there’s growing suspicion that his criticisms might be directed towards Holly, as she is noticeably absent from the entire series.

It is believed that Martin Frizell, the editor of This Morning, might be the one being pointed at by Schofield. There seems to be a suggestion from Schofeld that Frizell allowed him to take the fall during ‘Queugate’, an incident where both Schofield and Willoughby were accused of jumping the queue to see the Queen lying in state.

Philip, who found himself in a career crisis following his confession about the falsehood regarding his affair from last May, now refrains from keeping Martin on his social media contacts.

Additional focus might be directed towards ITV’s CEO, Dame Carolyn McCall, who deemed Phil Schofield’s romantic involvement with a junior staff member as extremely unsuitable.
