Jeremy Clarkson said he finds the criticism of Phillip Schofield over his secret affair with a younger male colleague “weird” and has “never seen a witch hunt like it”.
Writing in The Sunday Times, Jeremy said he does not know Phillip and has “no skin in the fight”, but wrote about the outrage that has followed Schofield’s saga. “He maintains that his lover was over the age of consent when their relationship became physical, but that hasn’t silenced the howls of disgust,” he said. “And I find that weird.
We casually roll our eyes when we hear that Leonardo DiCaprio’s new girlfriend is three and we even nod appreciatively when we learn that the age gap between Al Pacino and his pregnant girlfriend is 54 years.” The TV presenter said he has never seen a “witch hunt” like the one that has gone after the former This Morning host. “Everyone who’s ever walked past him in the street must be sacked as well.
And those who paid his wages or sat next to him in the studio must be hauled into televised committees so that bramble bushes can be inserted into their bottoms. “I’ve never seen a witch-hunt like it, and what baffles me most of all is that, as things stand, no crime has been committed. “I don’t know him at all well and have no skin in the game, but it seems to me he is only guilty of being what he said he was: gay.” He added that the public will be subjected to “endless conversations” about duty of care and how people on This Morning were “routinely ignored when they made impassioned cries for help”.
