Isn’t that weird?” Speaking to Pink News, Davies said again of Schofield: “See, I never thought that Phillip Schofield was gay. I was like a right chump… He’s always been very nice to me – I look a little bit like I’m taking potshots at him now.” He continued: “Whereas actually, when that was written and filmed we’d all presumed he was so straight that that line was no offence, because I was attacking gay men who always presume that the handsome man on television is gay.” It’s a Sin returns Friday at 9pm on Channel 4, with all episodes streaming now on All 4.
