Chris Tarrant says Phillip Schofield ‘lost the plot' after fame ‘went to his head'
Broadcaster Chris Tarrant has declared Phillip Schofield the 'most overexposed man' on television and said his decades-long career was filled with 'mainly c***'. The 78–year-old former Who Wants to Be a Millionaire host said only Terry Wogan was more visible on the airwaves than Schofield, which was fine because the 77-year-old is 'funny and likeable, and bright as a button' , whereas the same could not be said for the former This Morning star. Speaking to The Telegraph, Tarrant said: 'Schofield, they always said, 'Oh, but he's a safe pair of hands.' Did anyone ever say, 'Ooh it's five to eight, got to get home quick because there's a safe pair of hands is on?'' He concluded: 'Dear oh dear. Those shows he did – Dancing on Ice, The Cube, everything –were mainly c***' Schofield , 63, left ITV in 2023 after admitting he lied about having a consensual relationship with a younger man, who worked as a runner on This Morning. The presenter said he helped the teenager secure work experience with the channel when he was around 19 but denied having any form of sexual contact with him until he was around 20 years old. Elsewhere in the interview, Tarrant said that radio people are 'much nicer generally' than television stars. 'You can get away with stuff on telly when people think you're a wonderful human being because you do 13 weeks a year, you put on your suit and go into this smarmy smile mode,' he said. 'There are people who are not very nice on television who get away with it because they do the image for an hour then go back and scream at everybody in the dressing room. And I do know one of two of them.' Tarrant was Who Wants to Be a Millionaire's first host when it launched on ITV in 1998 and went on to present it for 30 series before leaving the programme in 2014. It was revived for a special season in 2018, and has been presented by Jeremy Clarkson ever since.

Henry Golding: Portraying James Bond would be a nightmare
Henry Golding thinks playing James Bond would be a "nightmare". The 38-year-old actor has been widely tipped as one of the candidates to replace Daniel Craig as 007, but Henry acknowledges that the role carries a lot pressure and expectation. He told People: "I think that's every actor's kind of nightmare. But at the same time, [you're] also wanting to kind of add something new to a franchise." Henry thinks the role of Bond would be more attractive if it didn't carry so much "cultural pressure". The actor - who starred in 2018's Crazy Rich Asians - reflected: "Maybe I'm just a p****. I don't know. But I think I would love it so much more if there wasn't that overhanging cultural pressure." Henry believes the Bond franchise should actually broaden its horizons by adding "more agents" and adopting a more open-minded approach. He said: "Why can't they bring out more agents or more OO's? I think that would be so much more fun, because there just isn't the restraints and the expectation." Henry previously described being linked to the role of Bond as an "honour". However, the actor argued that the world is not yet ready for a non-white Bond. Henry - who was born in Malaysia, but raised in the UK - told Attitude magazine: "It does seem to be a question that always comes up. It was definitely from Crazy Rich Asians, maybe [the scene with] the white suit coming out the park. "I'm Asian and everybody's fighting for a diverse Bond - sorry, white guys." Henry thinks it's "great" that non-white actors are being linked to the role of Bond. And the actor admitted to being flattered to even have been spoken about as a possible candidate for the coveted part. He said: "Isn't it great that we're having that conversation? Isn't it great that people are like, 'Ok, now it's time, why the hell can't we have a black Bond, an Asian Bond, a mixed-race Bond, a non-distinct Bond?' "I don't know ... It's an honour to even be in the conversation."
