Phillip Schofield bared all in interviews with The Sun and BBC amid the fallout of confessing to an affair with a This Morning runner. Here is what he said:

‘I did not groom him’

Schofield insists he is not a groomer, saying that while he met the former colleague while he was a teenager, their interactions were innocent and only became sexual when the runner was around 20/21 years old.

He said it never felt like an ‘abuse of power’ because they were ‘mates’.

The affair began in 2017

Dermot playfully posed alongside Alison in the snaps as well as with a number of the show’s celebrity guests. 

The duo beamed, shaking off any signs of drama, with actors Ian McKellan, Roger Allam and the Spitting Image puppets.

While speaking exclusively to Firstpost, Bachchan spoke about turning host with Vicky Kaushal this year, playing different characters in his films, and much more.

Hosting is more difficult. In acting, everything is constructed for us. You have your writer, your director, everything is there. Hosting is a little more unpredictable so that makes it little more difficult for all of us.

Suzanne Somers claims she was offered — and declined — a co-hosting gig alongside “The View” creator Barbara Walters.

“I was originally asked to be on the original ‘View’ with Barbara Walters and whoever else, and I turned it down,” the actress, 76, shared during Wednesday’s episode of the “Behind the Velvet Rope with David Yontef” podcast.

“And everyone said, ‘Why would you turn that down? It is a national show,’” Somers recalled.

“I said, ‘First of all, I have to live in New York. I don’t really wanna live in New York. I like the weather down here, and I like the vibe down here,’” she explained.

“But secondly, I don’t do well vying for time. And there, you gotta interrupt and butt in and butt out. It’s…
