28th May Out of the closet but back in the broom cupboard

Just when he thought his world couldn't get much worse, Phillip Schofield has been hit by a new wave of allegations relating to another inappropriate relationship with someone much younger in age. In a world exclusive Grace Under Pressure has spoken to the victim of Schofield's alleged unwanted attention, Mr Gordon Gopher. 

A visible distrught Mr Gopher began, "We were alone in that broom cupboard for hours at a time, day after day, week after week with no responsible adult or chaperone. I was so inexperienced and just wanted to get on in television.  I thought Schofield was just trying to be friendly. But its such a small space in the cupboard and what started off as an 'accidental touch' soon became a hand left for just a moment too long until after a few months he was in for a penny, in for a pound so to speak."

"The worse bit was that he did it to me whilst we were on air. I just had to try to block it out but I don't know if you've ever noticed that for such a slim fella he got big hands!!  Just as the cameras were about to roll he'd just look at me and whisper 'Daddies gonna wear Gordon like a glove. He was right up there almost to his elbow at times. It makes me wince just to think about it."

"We all dismissed it when Sooty and Sweep spoke out about inappropriate behaviour and also when Bill and Ben said that their every movement was controlled and directed by someone else pulling the strings. But it wasn't really helped by Basil Brush roundly rejecting such claims. Little did we know at the time that Basil had quite a few deviant fetishes of that nature that he actually paid for. Now it seems the other were telling the truth all along which has made us all feel such muppets to be honest."
