A bit of a surprise but at the same time not! Lovely that he feels he can be his true self.

Good luck to him. I hope some of the cynicism in a couple of posts here isn't reflected on other social media, but I know that's asking way too much from Twitter.

"You are speculating about the amazing connection with his wife"
No i'm not, he's said as much on ThisMorning. If you're not a follower of his then you're probably not that clued up on his personal life. For example did you know he does Pilates with his wife weekly?
They have a great connection. Read what he says about her in his message.

"10.53 your speculating that I'm not clued up."
I'm actually right, because you've said this. "Quote, he had an amazing connection with his wife. Are you sure, and how come you know that and no one else does on here."
I'm sure there are manyt people on AB who are fans of ThisMorning and know that Philip has a good connection with his wife.

Phillip Schofield's statement in full:
"You never know what's going on in someone's seemingly perfect life, what issues they are struggling with, or the state of their wellbeing - and so you won't know what has been consuming me for the last few years. With the strength and support of my wife and my daughters, I have been coming to terms with the fact that I am gay.
"This is something that has caused many heart-breaking conversations at home. I have been married to Steph for nearly 27 years, and we have two beautiful grown-up daughters, Molly and Ruby. My family have held me so close - they have tried to cheer me up, to smother me with kindness and love, despite their own confusion. Yet still I can't sleep and there have been some very dark moments.
"My inner conflict contrasts with an outside world that has changed so very much for the better. Today, quite rightly, being gay is a reason to celebrate and be proud. Yes, I am feeling pain and confusion, but that comes only from the hurt that I am causing to my family.
"Steph has been incredible - I love her so very much. She is the kindest soul I have ever met. My girls have been astonishing in their love, hugs and encouraging words of comfort. Both mine and Steph's entire families have stunned me with their love, instant acceptance and support.
"Of course they are worried about Steph, but I know they will scoop us both up. My friends are the best, especially Holly, who has been so kind and wise - and who has hugged me as I sobbed on her shoulder. At ITV, I couldn't hope to work with more wonderful, supportive teams.
"Every day on This Morning, I sit in awe of those we meet who have been brave and open in confronting their truth - so now it's my turn to share mine. This will probably all come as something of a surprise and I understand, but only by facing this, by being honest, can I hope to find peace in my mind and a way forward.
"Please be kind, especially to my family."

These Instagram and Twitter accounts are often handled by the personalities publicists. Being a big fan and a follower of social media accounts does not mean that you know the person, you only know the persona.
It would have been lovely if he had been his true self all his life. Gay men marrying in the dark days when homosexuality was illegal and could have a huge negative impact on a man's personal and professional life was understandable. This did not apply to Schofield - thankfully attitudes had changed before he got married.

//Having kept it secret for so long, I'm not sure what the point is now. I assume someone's threatened to out him or he wants to split from his wife and start a new relationship//
He claims that he went public to save his mental health, and with the full understanding of his family. He also says that he is not yet ready for a same sex relationship.
