However: we don't know what has been said over the years between this couple.  Love can be shown in many ways, it doesn't have to be physical.  'he has basically said'  ........... that's assumption.  She may be glad to be rid of the situation - assumption.  I'm sure that the Media will produce stories to suit the reader

Maybe it was her choice to stay with him.
He is lucky to have friends and family around him that are supporting him. But it must be very difficult going through all this in the public eye.

[jillydoll]

I have to agree, she could've been totally ok with the situation and wanted to stay with him.
Which I'm sure is the case, or else they'd have divorced years ago. I'm sure I read somewhere she's known for years.
Some people are just happy to be together, especially if they?re ?best friends? too,.

Must admit, when I heard it on the radio I was gobsmacked. I never knew he was straight.

Ha ha What a surprise .... not!  😂😂

My son is gay and lives happily with his partner. My whole family know and consider our son's partner to be part of our family. My son always said that there was no way he would enter into a cover relationship. He does not think this is fair on the woman. I am conflicted. Good on Phillip for sharing this news, but I feel really bloody sorry for his wife. How is she supposed to feel when he has basically said that there is no physical attraction to her in a sexual way? It seems to me that we are all supposed to applaud people who come out at any stage in their lives and marriages, but why do they have to drag other people into this? Why not just be single?

Very honest post yellowflower.

A young man and girl over the road from us got married a few years ago.  I said from word go that I thought he was gay so did several other people.  He worked in a local shop so everybody knew him.  Sadly he was cheating on her with men after about a year together and she suffered a lot of anxiety and depression due to this.  There was a really messy divorce some time later and it hurt her very badly.

I think Philip Schofield's wife must have spent many nights alone wondering where he was and he must have lied to her on many occasions.  I am just waiting to see now who he has hooked up with because there is no doubt someone has been keeping very quiet.

I also thought he had got very thin lately.

Hello ladies

Obviously we don't know the home situation for Phillip and his wife and nor should we as it's their private business. Perhaps his news is considered brave because there is still plenty of prejudice about and his career may suffer. Plus his family may be the subject of hurtful comments.

 He said he had been struggling with this for some time and had been having sleepless nights.  I wouldn't be surprised if he acknowledges a new partner fairly soon. Good luck to them all I say. Live and let live.

Take care ladies.

Well said Kathleen. Totally agree. xx

[Perinowpost]

He actually said in the interview that there wasn't anyone else, and that he wouldn't be rushing out to find someone new anytime soon.

Couldn't agree more though Kathleen live and let live x

That's what I read in his post which was issued prior to him going live on This Morning ....... yesterday.  Maybe the speculation across social media was why he waited as long as this to announce his feelings.

I wish them well.  No one knows what is around the corner.  For any of us. 

[sheila99]

Perhaps he should have done his struggling before he dragged his poor wife into it. Unforgivable IMO. Live and let live is fine but not when it involves hurting someone else.

[CLKD]

That's too near the knuckle really.  None of us know what went on either B4 their marriage, during it etc.; it may be revealed later on.  If his wife knew and didn't walk away ?  also his girls?  It's such a person issue.  Abuse and alterations in a marriage.

[sheila99]

I'm sure she didn't know when she married him. How would you feel if it was you OH? Knowing that your whole marriage was based on a lie. I know I'd be devastated.

[CLKD]

Surely they can't have been miserable all that while?  No one could put on a face on TV 4 all those years if things were bad ......... and the Press would probably have outed him if there had been any cracks, real or otherwise.  The apparent rift with Holly went to the media last year, this was probably the start of the explanations.

I would be devastated that my Husband had been sad about something that he felt unable to tell me  .  Although we've been together for nearly 50 years so we have age and experience on our side.  For us the more we are together the more forgiving we are: the good days certainly outweigh any bad ones and I've had plenty  .  He could have walked, I offered him out ........ he's still here  .  Still cooking for me 

[dahliagirl]

Well I thought he might have been married to Holly in another thread   No idea he had been married so long.  Poor wife
