Guess who's a nonce/sex pest [2023 edition]

[-james-]

Who's getting cancelled? Pick five famous people who will get outed in 2023. Points for word count on their wikipedia page.

[-james-]

TTH getting shut down for libel. :drool:

[Kikó]

Lewis has my guess in the other thread.

[Giggles]

The Sweetmans and Bob Dylan.

[Magic]

Andrew Tate.

[Lewis]

I think any popular/well-known nonce would have been outed by now unless they are 1) super important, like the very biggest [American] names on the Epstein Island lists; or 2) a very prominent homosexual, since the media would be less inclined to be seen associating that with it.

[Spikey M]

David Jason upon his death (allegedly).

For my wildcard entry, I'm going with Richard Madeley.

[Magic]

I reckon there will be some high profile trans outings, either campaigners or trans themselves, which should see some healthy lols.

[Magic]

David Jason upon his death (allegedly).

For my wildcard entry, I'm going with Richard Madeley.

He's a lot of things but never a nonce.

[Spikey M]

He's a lot of things but never a nonce.

A man can hope. His Prince Andrew style interview denying it would be sensational.

[Giggles]

Speaking of Madeley, that Italian twat chef that does be on daytime tv has to be a sex pest.

[Boydy]

Speaking of Madeley, that Italian twat chef that does be on daytime tv has to be a sex pest.

Gino D'Campo? Nah, not a chance.

[Boydy]

David Walliams though. Nailed on nonce.

[Spikey M]

David Walliams though. Nailed on nonce.

Disappointed in myself for not saying him. Cast Iron nonce.

[SvN]

Choosing Walliams is the equivalent of choosing someone who's already over 100 in the other game.

[wullie]

I don't think Gino's one although he is a convicted burglar so slippery slope. Nominate his pal Fred who isn't a chef but somehow is on TV for some reason

[Giggles]

I’m not saying Gino is a nonce, more like a lad where ‘no’ means you need drugged.

[Waffdon]

I’d agree with that.

[Lofty]

He's a lot of things but never a nonce.

Those nonce mates of his were just resting in his house with that young lad.

According to the internet rumour mill, there has been some iffy behaviour from Miriam Margoyles and Ian McKellen over the years.

Steven Seagal.

Also my brother in law who I saw yesterday and has bought himself a leather jacket, procured customised Sons of Anarchy patches and had them stitched on. He's wearing it in public, he doesn't ride a motorbike. He's 38.

[Baz]

Jeff Jarrett
Davide Sanclimenti
Ricky Wilson
Gregg Wallace
Tim Lovejoy

I think he was responding to Richard Madeley

This isn’t the ‘who is a cool dude’ thread.

[Spikey M]

Apparently Schofield has released a beggy statement about Willoughby and in response she has deleted everying about him from her social media.

1656772776131280901?t=2ys8z0QSqIumaQCBo8p7WA&s=19

[Jimmy Floyd]

How has he thus far avoided the cancel hammer? Or is cancelling a bit 2019 and you're allowed to nonce again now?

[Spikey M]

Friends in high places.

[Baz]

She still follows him on instagram. In terms of hip hop beef, they’re still good.

[Lewis]

If the noncing stuff had any truth to it then she ought to be run out of town along with him after all this time doing/saying nothing. Maybe she can paint him as some sort of tyrant and say the gay mafia threatened her career.

[Spikey M]

Once he goes down, we turn our attention to the Linekers.

[Spikey M]

Here we go!

For all the air miles they clocked up, Schofield and Willoughby were involved in scandals only occasionally. In 2012 when Schofield was deemed to have gone too far by presenting then-prime minister David Cameron with a list of alleged Conservative paedophiles he had found online.

Huh. Take you long to find that, Phil?

[Boydy]

1660573746707537920

You'd think he was dead from this and neither of them look very happy to be doing it.

[Spikey M]

I'd love to be a fly on the ITV wall. Watching them trying to distance themselves from him as much as possible while also trying to look like they're sorry he's gone is beautifully transparent. :drool:

Hopefully Willoughby and the other enablers get what they have coming.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-65729361

TV presenter Philip Schofield has confirmed he had an affair with a younger male ITV employee while he was still married.

In a statement to the Daily Mail, Schofield apologised for lying to his colleagues and the media.

Schofield said his relationship with the young employee, who the BBC is not naming, was "unwise but not illegal".

So he's admitted to the relationship which he CATEGORICALLY denied before.

[Baz]

Why aren’t they naming Matthew McGreevy?

[Spikey M]

"I met him as a kid and gave him a job but I didn't fancy or shag him until it was legal".

Course m8.

[Alex]

I genuinely cannot fucking wait for this cunt to get what's coming to him. Just something about the bloke, I can't fucking stand him. I mean I feel like I'm stating the obvious here, I'm sure I'm not alone in that. :D

[Gray Fox]

Baz at a guess he was either 16 or 17 when it happened. Old enough to be legal but not to be names in the press.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Gordon the Gopher was fisted by Schofield for years and no one did anything about it.

[Lewis]

There is something really lol to me about Top Red Eamonn Holmes pushing the fuck out of this.

Same. So many old bats at work defend him cos they like This Morning.

When he came out it was one of the most memorable days in the office. Utterly bizarre.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Anyone who watches breakfast TV is on my shit list. The only reason I know who Holly Willoughby is is because a few years ago the cricket authorities were making a huge play to sign her up for marketing campaigns in order to try and reach 'mums' (she never signed).

[Magic]

She's got lovely tits.

[Lofty]

They popped out once on kids TV.

[Spikey M]

1662722339954479109?t=Z7BtL7J20II7N_3btjZk3g&s=19

[Yevrah]

That was my first thought at the time in regards to the thing with his wife. A 60 year old banging a young Woman while married is going to get ruined.

[SvN]

Schofield now saying the outrage is due to homophobia. :D


"I fully appreciate there is a massive age gap, but that happens in life. I think there is an enormous amount of homophobia that it happens to be male, but if it was male-female then it wouldn't be such a scandal," Schofield said.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-65775251

[Alex]

He's a fucking cunt, isn't he?

The first couple of minutes of that interview where he's giving it the whole "poor me" routine couldn't be anymore obvious that he's practiced it in the mirror a great many times. The delivery. The mannerisms. The little voice cracks. Fucking sociopathic.

"All of those people that write all of that stuff, do they ever think that there's actually a person on the other end?". :cry:

I don't know Phil, did you ever stop to think there was "actually a person on the other end" when you were grooming that child you wanted to fuck? That's probably a more pertinent question right now mate.

[Baz]

He needs to keep Caroline Flack’s name out of his mouth.

And children’s willies, obv.

[Spikey M]

Schofield now saying the outrage is due to homophobia. :D



https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-65775251

He seems to be (deliberately) ignoring that it's the grooming that people object to. Suck as much 20 year old dick as you like lad, just don't befriend 14 year olds and get them work experience positions to facilitate it. If you do, people are going to ask questions and they would ask those same questions if it had been a 14 year old girl. Disingenuous cunt.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Has this not been common knowledge for several years? I'm sure when he 'came out' everyone accused him of doing so cynically to get away with grooming via rainbow-washing. Such a strange thing when these people get done in and only then resort to the woe-is-me stuff.

[Yevrah]

Quite. He was absolutely fine on the sofa last month, safe in the knowledge he'd been rutting an employee he'd groomed. The clip I saw last night seems to demonstrate that he doesn't even understand what grooming is.

[niko_cee]

IT WAS ALL INNOCENT!

Had no idea caveating your actions with that had such a catch-all impact. Someone should have told Ian Huntley.

[-james-]

1664390822693855234

The noncing, whatever, but him tainting the double apple Lost Mary is a step too far.

[Lewis]

Quite. He was absolutely fine on the sofa last month, safe in the knowledge he'd been rutting an employee he'd groomed. The clip I saw last night seems to demonstrate that he doesn't even understand what grooming is.

It's a FACT that teenage boy/much older man is basically a cliche in the world of the gays, so I'm not sure he - or many other people like him - would necessarily consider it grooming.

[Jimmy Floyd]

That stuff is pretty inevitable given it's been pushed underground for the last thousand years or so. There's a danger that people like Phil are going to set progress back some way, as I can detect the beginnings of a pushback against gay rights in certain nu-conservative circles - not in the Viktor Orban way, but in a sort of scientific racism sort of a way.

[hfswjyr]

He's a fucking cunt, isn't he?

The first couple of minutes of that interview where he's giving it the whole "poor me" routine couldn't be anymore obvious that he's practiced it in the mirror a great many times. The delivery. The mannerisms. The little voice cracks. Fucking sociopathic.

I don't know Phil, did you ever stop to think there was "actually a person on the other end" when you were grooming that child you wanted to fuck? That's probably a more pertinent question right now mate.

What annoys me is that he could have just put out a statement and that would be the end of it. But no, after all this, he still wants the fame and TV interviews. Is he really sorry? Or just does he want to hog the limelight a bit more? It's hard to tell from my end.

[Offshore Toon]

There are countless underground scenes that don't groom children so it's far from inevitable.

[Lofty]

Glad to see this has broken a lot brains. Viral thing on facebook saying 'Celine Dion's manager met her when she was 12 and he was 38, and married her when she was 19 - is this grooming?' Err yes, it is, you fucking nutcases.

[niko_cee]

And look at her now, a totally normal, well-adjusted person.

The amount of celebrity pushback in Schofield's favour is quite baffling.

[Yevrah]

I saw that post and even for Facebook it was going some in the moron stakes. Presumably nobody now cares about Celine Dion's situation as it happened years ago and her agent is/was presumably less famous than Schofield, but I can't think of a clearer example to illustrate the definition of grooming than a child star wedding their manager of 7 years when she's 19. If that doesn't count then words truly have lost all meaning.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-66140356

Wonder who it is. Lofty, any word?

[Spikey M]

It will be someone involved with The One Show.

[Shindig]

Jermaine Jenas?

[Waffdon]

Jeremy Vine.

Bike nonce. There is a god

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Jeremy Vine.

Bike nonce. There is a god

He's more of a Channel 5 guy at this point and his BBC radio show is still on the air.

[Spikey M]

Or Chiles.

Every male host they've had has been a danger.

[Dark Soldier]

No idea Huw it could be.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'm going to guess either Greg James or Michael McIntyre.

Would love to see one of those cunts in hot water.

[Mike]

Better not be Mr Tumble

[Magic]

I'm going to guess either Greg James or Michael McIntyre.

Would love to see one of those cunts in hot water.

What's wrong with Greg James?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

What's wrong with Greg James?

He used to be alright but he comes across as someone who thinks they're amazing. Also laughs too much at shit jokes provided by him and those around him.

Also seems to think he's "down with the kids" or some shit.

Although I have to admit he wasn't too bad when he went on Taskmaster for a New Year's Special, maybe he just hams it up too much on the radio and I haven't listened to him in years now.

Edit: There's also a good chance that he's a nonce.

[Boydy]

DS is right.

[niko_cee]

It's probably David Dimbleby's grandson in some sort of elaborate long con sting so he can present the next election coverage, assuming he isn't dead.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Someone told me earlier with great authority that it was Gregg Wallace, so it's them against DS for final supremacy.

[Dark Soldier]

Huw knows if there's an image of a certain BBC star's arse doing the rounds on social media.

[Magic]

Huw knows if there's an image of a certain BBC star's arse doing the rounds on social media.

God he's gross.

[Kikó]

I think Huw has a nice arse considering he's an old man.

[Dark Soldier]

Huw knows why a certain presenter has now removed the BBC from his Twitter bio

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Apparently he hasn't had it in his bio for a year or more.

[Waffdon]

1678348466357952514

So true :lol:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

:D

Cracking verb.

[Dark Soldier]

Apparently he hasn't had it in his bio for a year or more.

Baseless speculation is what life is built on sir. Revel in it.

[Yevrah]

:D What did Benoit do?

[Spikey M]

:D What did Benoit do?

I had to google it, but he won the main event and the big belt, which is now footage they can never use again.

[phonics]

:D What did Benoit do?

Murdered his wife and two children them himself.

[Browning]

It was one child, but still.

[Spikey M]

I was assuming he knew that bit.

[Yevrah]

That is definitely enough to get a verb named after you.

[Kikó]

It was one child, but still.

Always feels like more.

[Giggles]

So he could bum him away no bother at 17, but he can't have a photo for a bit of a tug because he's 17?

[Dark Soldier]

So he could bum him away no bother at 17, but he can't have a photo for a bit of a tug because he's 17?

Yes you can shag a 16yo legally but possess pics of them at that age and you're a full blown nonceking

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Giggles is a nonce sympathiser.

SCUM.

[Giggles]

Of all people :D

[Magic]

Lol so it's all bullshit then.

[Dark Soldier]

Investigation just got a different hew to it now lad. Give us blood (not making the obvious paedo joke ill leave that to magic).

[Ben]

The Sun need shutting down if this is bollocks.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Even if it's not bullshit they need shutting down.

[Lofty]

Unless their ma signs their blessing then you can stick it in the national newspaper.

[Gray Fox]

Even if it's not bullshit they need shutting down.

If only everyone could just stop buying it at once.

[Spikey M]

Get DS in Prison and throw away the key. #Justice4Huw #HuwKnuwNothing

[Jimmy Floyd]

Huw Edwards should be hanged either way. Better to be safe than sorry. It's what the Queen would have wanted.

[Waffdon]

1678422586915471360

[Lofty]

Hasn't he supposedly knocked a stripper up and that's why his Mrs left?

[niko_cee]

I love the fact that this is all so cloak and dagger that they can't even name the law firm representing the 'victim'. I'm going Farrers.

[Lofty]

Child and Child.

[Lofty]

Another 'young person' has come out of the woodwork.

[Shindig]

From a dating site which... again, feels like they're clutching at straws. The first one was probably an OnlyFans.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It is indeed Huw Edwards.

The Met have ruled that no crime has been committed though.

[Boydy]

It sounds a bit like he's tried to top himself with that announcement of receiving in patient care for aerious metal health issues now.

[Spikey M]

And it's all DS' fault.

[Dark Soldier]

Trust in me mate.

[Offshore Toon]

People at work just couldn't get their heads around it being him as there appears to be some sort of personality cult in play, which I don't get at all. He's mad into church shit and couldn't be bothered to smile when he got his bum out. I'm not sure what other evidence was required.

[Jimmy Floyd]

This story is about one thing which is NewsCorp's attempts to bring down the beeb. They've lost this battle and will probably lose the war.

[niko_cee]

That's pretty much the long and the short of it. They were [are?] obviously on such sketchy ground that they were afraid to name him or even really comment outside of their editions.

Not like the Sun to run entirely untrue stories.

Meanwhile, in Italy . . . (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-66174352)

[phonics]

When this first came out the big convo at work was 'who do you think it is' and I just passed DS' post off as my own info and now they think I'm some ITK.

[niko_cee]

What's the record number of BBC presenters suspended in one year?

[Spikey M]

The story appears to be "Huw paid a young man for some nudes and the young man spent the money on drugs, therefore Huw is a wrongun."

Now, I think Huw is an absolute fanny for paying for porn. It's free on the Internet, mate... but I don't see how what he did is a problem. Anyone on Only Fans could be spending their money on drugs. Your window cleaner could be spending the money you give them on drugs. So fucking what?

[Offshore Toon]

Wasn't he 17? It also depends on whether he knew the money was funding addiction. He shouldn't go to jail, but he also shouldn't continue raking in a fortune and being respected.

[Ben]

My window cleaner does spend his money on drugs. I saw him once racking up on my garden table.

[Offshore Toon]

You sure he wasn't just cleaning it?

[Spikey M]

Wasn't he 17? It also depends on whether he knew the money was funding addiction. He shouldn't go to jail, but he also shouldn't continue raking in a fortune and being respected.

The police have said no crime was committed. So either he was 17 and that's not illegal or he was over 18. Either way... :sorry:

[Jimmy Floyd]

Wasn't he 17? It also depends on whether he knew the money was funding addiction. He shouldn't go to jail, but he also shouldn't continue raking in a fortune and being respected.

It seems that he wasn't 17, but was older, which is where the Sun now appears to be on very shaky ground as they originally claimed that he was.

[Spikey M]

My window cleaner does spend his money on drugs. I saw him once racking up on my garden table.

You've just ruled yourself out of the BBC News vacancy.

[Kikó]

Onlyfans presumably also have an 18 and over limit as well.

[Lofty]

Is the entire premise of Onlyfans not young people selling content to old pervs? It's funny how this has been portrayed if it is the case, given the amount of free positive advertising red tops give it for women.

[Magic]

Onlyfans presumably also have an 18 and over limit as well.

They do, and it requires official ID as well.

[Offshore Toon]

The police have said no crime was committed. So either he was 17 and that's not illegal or he was over 18. Either way... :sorry:
Since when did you get on your knees so quickly for the old bill?

[Spikey M]

The Schofield case wasn't homophobia, he was grooming that boy from the age of 13 (or however old he was). I can only see that this one IS homophobia. Young women sell pictures to older men all the time.

[Spikey M]

Since when did you get on your knees so quickly for the old bill?

The "victim" says its bollocks as well. If more details come out that prove he was doing this with underage boys, then cool, string him up, but at the moment "there's nothing to see here lads, move along please"

[Offshore Toon]

If a powerful and well respected journalist is knowingly feeding a much younger person's addiction just so he can have a wank then he deserves the social consequences that follow. I don't think he should get locked up, but he should obviously face some heavy tutting and unemployment for a good while.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Either that or the younger person was legally making a living and he was legally purchasing their services. One can judge them but not condemn them.

[Spikey M]

You buy drugs from the same people that sell drugs to addicts. Quit your job immediately.

I bought a few Libertines albums, so I'll do the same.

[Magic]

I always wondered about how sure they are they won't get caught given the industry they work in. Can't be naivety alone?

[Yevrah]

I agree broadly with where you're coming from Spikes, but the reality is that if you're a high profile, higher paid, member of the BBC's presenting team then you're simply held to higher standards than the average Joe. As a result, he'll still lose his job despite there being no criminality involved.

[Spikey M]

Oh, he's finished, there's no doubt about that and I'm not going to cry for him, he's a rich fucker with a kink for paying poor people to degrade themselves.

But, all the hysteria (on Twitter, predictably) is insanity. He's essentially just paying over the odds for a private Only Fans and none of the seedy cunts paying those single mothers to twerk are losing their jobs for it. They're empowering women, apparently.

[Offshore Toon]

We're all bored at work, Spike, but do you really have to argue such a ridiculously niche position.

[phonics]

You're the niche position in this I think.

[Yevrah]

I haven't looked so I don't know, but hasn't the mental health card softened the anger somewhat? I'd have thought so, as you can pretty much be looked kindly upon having done almost anything if you play that one.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I haven't looked so I don't know, but hasn't the mental health card softened the anger somewhat? I'd have thought so, as you can pretty much be looked kindly upon having done almost anything if you play that one.

It has.

"Poor Huw" was trending yesterday.

[Offshore Toon]

At best, he's had an affair with a crackhead. I think a celebrated national journalist should be better than that.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Don't think flashing the mental health card earns you admission to in-patient hospital care.

[Yevrah]

Maybe. At best, he's had an affair with a crackhead. I think a celebrated national journalist should be better than that.

And the BBC will too. I don't know why it took them so long (and with this much nudging) to get to that position, but maybe due to Huw's previously open discussion of his depression problems (some cracking positioning from the big man in hindsight) they were afraid to.

[Yevrah]

Don't think flashing the mental health card earns you admission to in-patient hospital care.

Of course not and I don't doubt that he's actually ill, but unless he's reached whatever legal standard they use to permanently send you into care, that shouldn't give him a pass over improper behaviour, which it sounds like he's been indulging in whether he was mentally suffering or not.

[phonics]

What is the improper behaviour though. Paying for legal pornography?

[Lofty]

I read somewhere that all organisations involved had to be careful prior to his wife naming him as there are severe legal ramifications if you out someone as gay in the national press?

He will be finished, and rightly so but I agree with Spikes that the hysteria about him 'noncing' kids is mental. A lot of sex workers are drug users, in fact that's how a lot of them got started in sex work. He's a dirty old man who has been caught out, that's the extent of the story really. If an 18 year old girl defers going to Uni this summer and makes £35k on Onlyfans she'll be paraded by The Sun and friends as a boss babe cleverer than all the other wage slave mugs.

[Offshore Toon]

Right, I'm pretty sure we all actually agree. Somebody find another saga to make a thread on.

[Yevrah]

What is the improper behaviour though. Paying for legal pornography?

Yeah, particularly in the context of the age gap. I mean, I don't necessarily agree with it, but that's the way the BBC will ultimately will see it.

[Lewis]

I generally agree with Offshore, but, between the Mental Health angle and all of his luvvie mates circling the wagons against the tabloids, I don't think the BBC will can him.

It's an interesting precedent for the next time somebody outside the little media club does something seedy but legal though. I'm sure the same people will all rush to their defence.

[Giggles]

I'd come down on him harder just for playing the mental health card.

[Magic]

I actually can't emphasise how little I care about this and how unimportant it is and yet, it's all I'm seeing on the socials.

[Kikó]

I'd come down on him harder just for playing the mental health card.

I mean he's potentially nearly killed himself. I don't think it's a "card".

[Jimmy Floyd]

I generally agree with Offshore, but, between the Mental Health angle and all of his luvvie mates circling the wagons against the tabloids, I don't think the BBC will can him.

It's an interesting precedent for the next time somebody outside the little media club does something seedy but legal though. I'm sure the same people will all rush to their defence.

The tabloids are coming at BBC figures for business reasons, so given the personal wreckage that causes (deserved or otherwise) the luvvie mates are entitled to circle the wagons, just as Nadine Dorries is entitled to write books defending Boris.

[Dark Soldier]

Hes also been open about his mental health struggles for over 20 years. Aye he's been a bit seedy but almost the entire population have some dark secrets going on.

Hope he gets the help he needs as when you're at the point you're submitted to a ward you're in a properly fucked situation mentally.

[Offshore Toon]

With all his church shit and doormat of a wife, we're clearly seeing a closeted bloke managing gay outbursts under the mental health umbrella. If that's the case, people should probably ask why he's suppressing it in the name of religion.

Regardless, he's done well to muddy the waters long enough to get to where he is.

[Spikey M]

I am surprised by the people rallying around him. I don't think what he's done deserves the level of OUTRAGE we saw, but he's still a bit of a wrongun for having a teenage drug abuse kink. #PoorHuw

[Manc]

I actually can't emphasise how little I care about this and how unimportant it is and yet, it's all I'm seeing on the socials.

Anything to distract from the financial ruin the country finds itself in.

[Jimmy Floyd]

People are absolutely fucking obsessed with BBC presenters, for whatever reason. Look at the number of headlines Gary Lineker gets himself into just for talking over the football and expressing bog standard metro-lib opinions on twitter.

[Lofty]

Wasn't there a load of dodgy stuff about George Osborne floating around that has been completely buried by this?

[Jimmy Floyd]

Think George Osborne is on the other side of the argument to be honest.

[Giggles]

I mean he's potentially nearly killed himself. I don't think it's a "card".

He got caught and he's tried the handy way out. He'd still be living it up and carrying it on if he was getting away with it. Mental health me hole.

[Dark Soldier]

As I said he's been public about his mental health for years before this. I'm sure this probably tipped it over the edge but its a known problem he's had for fucking ages.

I'm sure if this didn't happen, he'd probably be trucking on handlingit with any therapy based techniques he's learnt over time, aye.

Mad how mental health works and that. While there are those who do take the piss with the angle, I'm pretty fucking sure this is an actual case.

Tim Lovejoy seems to be getting shit on social media for comments from like 20 odd years ago about women’s football so you wonder if he’s next bearing in mind how close to the bone Soccer AM used to be.

[Waffdon]

That clip was hilarious. Soccer AM was peak growing up

He'll be doing crypto podcasts with the Coast guy and Joe Rogan next.

Would love to have seen the look on the face of his lawyers/PR team when someone told them he'd gone rogue on Instagram. God bless social media and all who sail on those choppy waters.

The random cut and scene transition in the middle is incredible. :D

[Yevrah]

In the absence of further damming evidence I am somewhat sympathetic to his plight. I'd suspect spending 5 minutes around him would be enough to know he likes the tragic bawdy patter, so if the BBC weren't happy with it over the last however many years then they should have formally pulled him up on it then rather than saving it up for trial by media.

[Jimmy Floyd]

There is something a bit odd about the timing. Why is he getting me-tooed several years after everyone else / the events described.

[Yevrah]

Possibly because had it come out at the time his rap sheet wouldn't have even touched the sides of some of the other stuff that was being revealed.

[Spikey M]

He probably just annoyed the wrong person. The BBC way seems to be to protect scumbags until it's no longer in their interest to do so, then they throw them to the wolves.

[SvN]

From what I can gather, he's made a few double entendres and people middle-class women of a certain age have complained a decade later. Am I missing something?

[niko_cee]

Not really.

lol at the MP saying they should pull the current series and all previous episodes available on iPlayer because they could trigger victims.

Not that I would necessarily disagree with a trigger warning for shows containing him as he's fucking annoying.

[Yevrah]

That seems to be pretty much it.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I think he's a complete disaster of a man, but it definitely smacks of someone wanting to get him off the payroll or similar.

[Spikey M]

He's just your average geezer down the pub on a Thursday night. Risqué jokes, loud shirts, 2 pints of Carling oi oi. Unless there is more to come out, he'll be hosting his own show on GB News this time next month.

[Luke Emia]

He's obviously a Grade A dickhead and it's not surprising what has come out in terms of the kind of stuff that has been shown on screen before which they haven't cut. But, it does very much seem like a bit of a mountain out of a molehill. There could be deeper stuff to it, but it seems like mostly he's been going round being a bit of a sexist idiot which sounds like 90% of the UK male population that's around 60 years of age I mean what do they expect especially if they haven't told him to fucking stop it.

[Magic]

We need leaked WhatsApp videos now of him saying he's fixed judging and thinks Monica is a cunt.

[Lofty]

Walking round the Masterchef studio with nothing but a sock on his cock, saying a dish served to him tastes 'like my aunt's cunt' and telling a contestant they are preparing a fish 'like a rapist conducting foreplay' are slightly stronger than double entendres, I'd argue. Not exactly soggy bottoms and nice buns.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Ankle sock?

[Yevrah]

Not really.

lol at the MP saying they should pull the current series and all previous episodes available on iPlayer because they could trigger victims.

Not that I would necessarily disagree with a trigger warning for shows containing him as he's fucking annoying.

There was also someone (ex-BBC I think) claiming that these 'star' contracts should include clauses where the stars agree they will not cause any offence. I mean, how on earth do you police that?

I’d not seen this stuff. If this is what he’s done then yeah he’s an idiot and he’s fucked.

[Lofty]

He also went to an event where an asian chef called Mimi was cooking and called her YouYou all night, which reminds me of my chinese mate getting an apprenticeship in the shipyard and all the old hands calling him 'Bruce' rather than bothering to learn his chinese name.

Not the end of the world but if you are a celebrity in 2024 doing this shit then not sure what you expect.

[Magic]

That's quite funny though lol.

[Lofty]

Imagine if she had called him Greg instead of Gregg.

[Dquincy]

I still don't understand all the hullabaloo over this. The man's an Alan Partridge type national treasure.

[Manc]

Between the two of them, I'd have had strong money on Torode being the wrong 'un.

[niko_cee]

He is the one who has had a relationship with a contestant.

[phonics]

While I do think Quincy is one of the dumbest people to ever venture into TTH I do find his opinion on this sort of stuff useful. If fucking Fat Greg from MasterChef is a national treasure then Iran has us dead to rights.

Quince is a great insight in to the actual public opinion. We're all wrong on here.

Someone pointed me in the direction of the absolutely hilarious Boris Johnson parody article about Gregggate today, and I've got to say, standards have slipped. Would not recommend.

Groping and touching enter the mix...

What I'm getting from that is Gregg has, or at least thinks he has, a big one, and is living in some sort of porno fantasy land where the merest hint of it will cause any and all women to [perhaps literally] fall at his feet.

Yeah, but he was painting his wife black and blue iirc.

Jane Doe says when she arrived at the party she was asked to sign a document, which she believes was a non-disclosure agreement, says the lawsuit.

Now, I'm no expert in how these things go down, but I get the impression that getting a 13 year old girl who you plan to rape [by statutory definition], who has been hoovered off the street by your chauffeur, to sign an NDA is probably a bit of a pointless and therefore unlikely thing to do.

Nevermind what the fuck sort of 13 year old gets dropped off to solicit at the VMAs?

[Luke Emia]

Who is Female Celebrity B who was with Jay-Z though?

[Waffdon]

J Lo

[Shindig]

Yeah, she was with Diddles at one point.

[Spikey M]

I for one am shocked that all these notorious scumbags have turned out to be scumbags. We'll find out Snoop Dogg does drugs next.

[-james-]

Does Jay Z have previous, or is he just black?

[Spikey M]

He stabbed someone.

[Waffdon]

Kanye would never

[SincereTheRebel]

Jay Z was famous for not talking to or putting his hands around women who he was taking pictures with. This probably makes the accusation even worse.

[Baz]

Not a chance Jay-Z raped a 13 year old. No way.

[Alex]

Potential avatar change incoming. :uhoh:

I mean it sounds a bit like opportunistic bollocks, but that would be my default setting as a massive fan wouldn't it? I'm on the same page as Baz in that I just don't think it is something he would do. But I don't know the bloke one bit. Fuck knows.

Although I will say one thing, this has never really happened to anyone I was bothered about before but now it has and I'm reading up on it more than I normally I would I can see just how much "trial by social media" is a very real thing.

If he is innocent it doesn't really matter, it will follow him forever. The fact he is twelve years older than Beyonce and apparently started going out with her when she was 19/20 and he was 30+ has him down as a nailed on pedophile in the eyes of half the internet it would seem.

[Lofty]

Noel Fielding, previously of hanging about with a 16 year old Peaches Geldof fame, apparently broke up for Christmas from writing and acting in Series 2 of his Dick Turpin show and never returned. It was reportedly 'three quarters of the way through production' and has had to be scrapped. All a bit odd.

We never mentioned Gaiman here, never got into his Sandman stuff: apparently he wrote a character in that who was a writer that kept a muse imprisoned so he could repeatedly rape her. All a bit on the nose now.
