Absolute joke that this clown was ITV’s first choice to cover Philips death. The BBC and Sky actually have proper news presenters and journalists hosting their coverage. Shows what dumbed down channel it is. Whatever next? Ant and Dec covering the funeral?

At least Ant and Dec had the decency to tweet such sad news and the RIP Prince Philip hashtag. There's nothing on Schofield's twitter.

Schofield did post a picture of himself with Prince Philip on Instagram earlier not long after his death was announced with the words: “Farewell to a remarkable man, terrifying to interview but great fun to be with” but I can’t seem to find that post on his timeline anymore

He’s still got to make it all about him has he?! So what if he was terrifying to interview - the poor man obviously didn’t want you following him around for a year Pip and he struggled to hide it. Who can blame him really!

Schofield is the type of person who would get into the coffin with Prince Philip, if he thought he would get some good publicity out of it.
 
i think the trouble is that over the recent years, phillip has become more and more insincere and fake. he makes rude faces when guests are speaking, laughs at them or looks disinterested, and i used to be a fan but the fake act is too obvious to ignore. so when something like this happens - a major royal death, which in the uk is going to be the biggest story of the year, then it seems obvious that phillip isn’t doing this presenting gig because he wants to pay his respect or offer good journalism, he wants to boost his exposure. he doesn’t actually care about anyone but himself and that’s becoming his downfall
 
He must know where the bodies are buried at ITV! I thought he brought nothing at all to the programme, Julie Etchingham did most of the work and I forgot he was there some of the time. I really don't know why they didn't get another proper journalist in? I know he's done the Royal wedding and stuff but that was completely different circumstances.
 
I mean they still have Piers Morgan don’t they? He’s only left GMB and not ITV as a whole. He’s a proper journalist. So is Eamon Holmes, so are most of the ITV newsreaders. Absolute joke of a channel. Its times like this I think ITV miss Trevor McDonald. People liked and respected him and his presence was almost comforting in a crisis. Much like Huw Edwards is on the BBC.

Piers Morgan would have been a worse choice imo!!!

I caught the first few minutes at 7pm with PS, his suit looked like a DOI suit, too tuxedo to be formal business, and his stance and body language was more light entertainment than serious news piece. Eye roll and turn over. (avoided it all tbf, it was too much coverage)

Found it he posted it to stories so presumably it will disappear in an hour (says 23h on the story).

for me its when smart phones appeared he became an instant expert on everything.
It sealed the deal on a few issues.

The list he handed to Cameron so proud "I downloaded this off the internet"
only to cause very bad trouble and not even man enough to say sorry himself.
others would have been sacked on the spot.

But also the years of denial over Fern and him having a row when he decided on a book
oh yes there was a row. ITV have relied on him so much his arrogance is off the scale.
Its at the stage now everything has to be about him.

Brilliant post by the way agree with everything you said. ITV and the BBC had terrible ratings all day
both not topping the 2 million mark.

His performance at H&M's wedding was cringeworthy.
