BLIND GOSSIP

The #1 Blind Item Site in the World!

On Thin Ice

EXCLUSIVE!

[Blind Gossip] What makes this blind item particularly interesting is that it is almost a perfect combination of two stories we told you in the past!

One story was about a famous, older actor who allegedly preyed on young men.

We’ll call him Victor.

You know Victor from his many years in the movies, in the theater, and on TV.

In a case of interesting timing, Victor came out as gay just as some assault charges were filed against him. Perhaps Victor hoped that sudden public disclosure of his sexual preference after so many years of living in the closet would mitigate the charges made against him?

Another story we told you was about a different famous actor who leveraged his position as an acting teacher to groom and assault his young, naive students.

We’ll call him Sleazy.

Sleazy is both a TV and movie actor.

In another case of interesting timing, Sleazy shut down his school just as those charges were about to be filed. Perhaps Sleazy hoped that closing the school would scatter and discourage current and former students from filing charges against him?

If you put those two situations together, you will see a remarkable similarity to an exclusive new story we have for you.

Allow us to be the first to tell you that there is going to be a big story breaking in the next couple of months.

The story involves a beloved older man who has been on TV for many years.

We’ll call him Icy.

There are three stages to this story.

The first is that Icy suddenly comes out as gay.

The second is that Icy’s “school” closes down.

The third is that the young students that Icy groomed and assaulted over the years come forward and sue him.

We have more details to share, but we want to be sensitive to those victims as they prepare their cases against Icy.

So, if you are one of those cheering Icy on for his bravery in coming out, you might want to hold off on that applause!

Because Icy is no gentleman. He is a combination of Victor and Sleazy. And his career and life will soon be on very thin ice…

    This seems to be about Phillip Schofield, but as strategy it’s absurd. If he knew he was going to be accused he should have stay married to his wife.

    And it’s weird to use two american examples for a british blind gossip, so i doubt it’s him

  3. Bella Ciao Ciao says

    I would sayPhillip Schofield. Dame Joan Collins said out loud that everyone in the industry knew and why now with the announcement like this? Local Manchester paper ran the story with photos of Phil and his really young “intern” recently.

    • fguidIIjj says

      He has a skating academy. He has also gone through cancer treatment which is why his life would be on thin ice if this is true and he were to be prosecuted.

  5. broadway2262 says

    I don’t believe that Philip Schofield is affiliated with a school……I think this is Scott Hamilton. The figure skater…….Although the Kevin Spacey clue….”VICTOR’……KS was the artistic director at the Old Vic in London….so maybe it is PS since he is in Great Britain. First time !

  9. feztive says

    Icy is Phillip Schofield, he presents a breakfast show called this morning who allegedly having an affair behind his wife’s back with a young male runner and presents a show on Sunday night called dancing on ice.. suddenly came out as gay on the Friday show with an interview out the blue but the sun on Sunday newspaper was supposed to be running a story about the affair on the Sunday, so he got in there first with the big reveal 🙄

  10. weaselimp says

    Victor: Kevin Spacey
    Sleazy: James Franco (he makes my skin crawl, awful gummy smile).
    Icy: Phillip Schofield (knew it was dodgy with his random ‘coming out’ at 58).

  13. Ms_LaRue says

    Victor – Kevin Spacey
    Sleazy – James Franco
    Icy – Philip Schofield

    “Icy” for Dancing on Ice. Already rumblings on Twitter about him grooming an ITV runner

  14. aaaswr88 says

    Icy is Schofield…so many rumours circulating but if this is true I’m amazing Holly isn’t disassociating herself with him ASAP as she’ll go down with him!

  15. RockstarLovechild says

    Schofield. The hypocrisy at ITV is sickening, with all the so-called talent whipped to give their support of his ‘bravery’. I hope this all comes out sooner rather than later. The victims must be horrified at how he’s being lauded.

  16. Blackorchid85 says

    This is definitely about Philip Schofield who came out recently and there are rumours about him and a runner on the show. He presents dancing on ice.

    The others are Kevin Spacey and James Franco.

  17. janie clarkson says

    Victor: Kevin Spacey
    Sleazy: James Franco
    Icy: James Lipton

    [Optional] What do you think will happen to Icy?
    Probably not much. Doubt there’s the kind of money Spacey would’ve had to go after.

  18. kesangel says

    Phillip Schofield – British Daytime TV presenter.
    Definitely suspicious with the very public coming out statement so definitely think there is more to come

  19. lealeablue2 says

    Unsure of first

    James Franco

    Phillip Schofield, recently came out, presents Dancing on Ice. Rumours of inappropriate behaviour with tv runner staff on This Morning.

  21. DDCASK says

    I thought maybe Spacey, Franco and Phillip Schofield – ice – and he’s patron of the 2 Faced Theatre Academy.

    Joan Collins summed it up when she asked ‘why has Schofield come out now’ – he wasn’t brave – just
    time’s up.

  24. OverCaffeinated says

    Victor: Kevin Spacey
    Sleazy: James Franco
    Icy: Phillip Schofield

    Here in the UK, Schofield hosts a show called Dancing on Ice. Could also refer to his white (icy) hair.

    Honestly, it could go either way. He’ll either be labelled a martyr with all these young men being called liars, or he’ll be the next Jimmy Saville.

  25. HighlandQueen says

    Victor: Kevin Spacey
    Sleazy: James Franco
    Icy: Phillip Schofield

    Clue being ‘Icy’ as he’s the host of Dancing on Ice, has just come out and there’s a lot of rumours about him and a young runner from his shows

  27. ameliatx says

    Philip Schofield – “icy” because of his hair? There have also been serious rumours about his behaviour to colleagues?

  30. PatioPrincess says

    Hmm, I hope Icy isn’t Patrick Stewart. Can’t really think of any older stars that this could be…

  33. missgee66 says

    I can only think of Philip Schofield who is a UK presenter, he is on our morning news and presents Dancing on Ice and has just come out as gay. The school bit is throwing me though, but he has ‘mentored’ a few young men in the tv industry. He’s been around for 30 years or so.

  36. tj1972 says

    Philip Schofield?

    He has recently came out as gay on This Morning in the UK. There are rumours circulating of an affair he had with a runner for his show, who was 18 at the time.

    Newspapers have gone silent now, as there’s talk of a super injunction in place!

  37. loreninvegas says

    Icy refers to Blades of Glory

    Cheering refers to Craig, the cheerleader he played on SNL

    Bravery refers to his new movie “Downhill,” in which his character is a coward.

    I’m going to go with Will Ferrell.

  40. debdee says

    Phil Scofield from Dancing on Ice (Icy)

    Is there anyone from BBC children’s programs in the 70-80s that aren’t pedos??

  47. theheb says

    Kevin spacey
    James Franco

    David Harbour? Just guessing. He was in movie thin ice and lots of photos of him in snow from new stranger things trailer

  49. Talisker says

    Kevin Spacey
    James Franco
    Philip Schofield (Dancing on Ice host, This Morning host)
    Matthew McGreevy the young showrunner will be the first in a long line of accusers. Hunting ground appears to have been the aptly named ‘2 Faced Theatre Academy.’

    Icy will hopefully be off our TV screens and back in his broom cupboard.

  53. obsidianeyes says

    Victor: Kevin Spacey
    Sleazy: James Franco?
    Icy: Philip Schofield (the uk presenter)

    Optional: Hope he gets taken to the cleaners by his family and the victims.

  55. BobNYC says

    Victor = Kevin Spacey (Old Vic Theatre, London – Artistic Director)
    Sleazy = James Franco
    Icy = James Lipton – Inside the Actors Studio

  59. anarchistlibrarian says

    victor: kevin spacey
    sleazy: james franco
    icy: phillip schofield

    itv’s “this morning” presenter phillip scholfield just came out as gay. the headlines are, all: “Phillip Schofield’s wife Stephanie Lowe has said she supports his ‘brave step’ to come out as gay”, etc. he also hosts “dancing on ICE”. i didn’t know he had a school, though…? 🤔

  64. Musicsunlight says

    Phillip Schofield. I guessed something salacious was going to come out about him( excuse the pun).

  65. Canadianna says

    Phillip Schofield from British tv?

    He hosted a show called “Dancing on Ice” for a number of years.

  69. habibieight says

    Victor: Kevin Spacey
    Sleazy: James Franco
    Icy: Phillip Schofield??? As much as I really hate to suggest it 🙁 (clue: Schofield presents Dancing on Ice)

  72. youdidwhat says

    Victor: Kevin Spacey

    Sleazy: James Franco

    Icy: Phillip Schofield

    Icy clue relates to his being the host of dancing on ice.

    What will happen to him? Nothing, same as all the other ‘beloved’ British tv personalities who do awful/ illegal things.

  73. claireuk says

    Victor = spacey
    Sleazy = franco
    Icy = philip schofield (dancing on ice) who was about to be outed by his very young lover so came out, although apparently this was an open secret as his boyfriend worked on This Morning too. No idea what the school is though – hope it’s not a children’s charity ala Jimmy saville – that would be awful. Hopeful the public will see him for what he is – a deceitful cheat. Feel so sorry for his wife and daughters.

  74. travio says

    Victor: Spacey

    Sleazy: Franco

    Icy: Phillip Schofield? He came out as gay recently and hosts Dancing on Ice in the UK.

  78. eyeguy80 says

    Victor: Kevin Spacy

    Sleazy: James Franco

    Icy: Phillip Schofield (hosted dancing on ice)

    I don’t know what will happen but I hope all three of them go down.

  79. Holleva says

    Victor – Kevin Spacey

    Sleezy – James Franco

    Icy – Ooh I’m guessing Phillip Schofield. He came out as gay 8 days ago, I have no idea where the school/students come into this though. But the image and the slipping on thin ice, because he presents Dancing on ice here in the UK.

  81. jules2424 says

    Kevin Spacey, James Franco and…?
    The best I could come up with that matches the clues is Scott Hamilton. If so, that would truly be shocking. So I hope it’s someone else!

  82. JBDinCA says

    Kevin Spacey

    James Franco

    Icy:??? (Someone who will be named in Corey Feldman’s documentary released in March)

  84. High Steppa says

    Victor – Kevin Spacey, as in the Old Vic Theater’s former artistic director
    Sleazy is James Franco, because he just is.
    Icy?

  86. nopebope says

    Victor : Kevin Spacey
    Sleazy : James Franco
    Icy : Phillip Schofield

    We seen what happened with Saville. Everyone knew but it didn’t get released until he was dead. Schofield has a super injunction in place. Also the MMG kid obviously has signed an NDA and is being looked after by ITV hence why he was just placed to do a different show instead of “This Morning”. Which is sickening as PS was an obvious mentor who took advantage of his position and started an affair with a kid.

  91. calumsmom says

    This might be waaaay off base, but could this be Kevin Kline? There’s a former NHL player also named Kevin Klein. And the theater at his alma mater, St. Louis Priory School, is named in his honor.

  92. DetLaToya says

    Victor: Kevin Spacey
    Sleazy: James Deen
    Icy: Tony Danza

    What will happen to him? Lawyers will blame victims and/or say everything was consensual, hush money will be paid, may meet untimely death (like one of Spacey’s victims) … Bottom line, like too many others, he’ll never truly pay for what he has done.

  94. Babycham says

    Icy – Philip Schofield. Worst kept secret in show busines. We all feel sorry for his wife and daughters.

  95. ladynevertells says

    Worst kept lie all over UK British press!
    Phillip Schofield for grooming boys.

    Been happening did yard and now injunction on our press and the main boy silenced!! WE WANT THE TRUTH NOW.

  101. cindycgy says

    Victor: Kevin Spacey

    Sleazy: James Franco

    Icy: Phillip Schofield hosting “This Morning” and “Dancing on Ice.”

  103. LAmariposa says

    Victor: old Spacey
    Sleazy: James Franco
    Icy: Phillip Schofield

    Optional: Nothin much. Just like nasty Weinstein. When are their victims going to get real justice? =(

  109. laura1083 says

    Is this Philip Schofield??!!

    He just recently came out and the term Icy makes me think of his show Dancing in Ice

  110. ILUVCA4evr says

    Victor: Kevin Spacey

    Sleazy: James Franco

    Icy: Total guess……..Henry Winkler?

    [Optional] What do you think will happen to Icy? Not much. A bit of scandal, then it will disappear. People are getting tired of all this. Not to discount what may have happened. Its just that it seems like every other day, someone is getting sued.

  112. gingercat says

    Victor: Kevin Spacey
    Sleazy: James Franco
    Icy: Phillip Schofield

    That explains the sudden coming out! What a jerk. I hope his wife takes him to the cleaners.

  114. ppfxxx says

    I can’t imagine you would be focusing on a British celebrity not really known in the States but the clues fit Philip Schofield the 57 year old much loved tv presenter who just came out and one of his shows is Dancing on Ice.

  115. SouthJerseyGirl says

    Victor: Kevin Spacey

    Sleazy: James Franco

    Icy: Not sure – maybe that British TV personality who just came out – Philip Schofield? I’ve never heard of him before. I can’t think of an American who is a beloved older man who’s been on TV for many years who also had a school. Only person I thought of and it can’t be him because he’s been out forever is Tim Gunn.

    [Optional] What do you think will happen to Icy?

  117. Weazle says

    Victor: Kevin Spacey (barf)
    Sleazy: James Franco (barf)
    Icy: Can’t figure it out, but Icy is the clue!!

  123. sunshine702 says

    Kevin Spacey
    James Franco
    Kevin Schonfield.

    I do not think it is “brave” to ruin your family. I hope he is charged.

  124. chezgreen71 says

    Victor: Kevin Spacey

    Sleazy: James Franco

    Icy: Phillip Schofield – he should be held accountable!

  125. Cubes0715 says

    Phillip Schofield. I had to look him up since he is a Brit but he came out and hes been on the morning show there for years.

  129. Theaterfan says

    James Lipton? But he retired as host of “Inside the Actors Studio” so it’s probably someone else.

  131. lennan says

    Victor: Kevin Spacey

    Sleazy: James Franco

    Icy: Philip Schofield

    [Optional] What do you think will happen to Icy?
    Probably fired from ITV?

  132. zappy2050 says

    Victor: Kevin Spacey

    Sleazy: James Franco

    Icy: Phillip Schofield? Not sure on this

    [Optional] What do you think will happen to Icy? He will deny it, call the victims liars and disappear for a while. If he is anything like Spacey his victims will end up dying under suspicious circumstances.

  133. scottie5 says

    Kevin Spacey
    James Franco
    Philip Scofield? Clue, ice

    If this is true I hope we never see him on TV again and he should face charges, along with others who knew all along what he was like. I felt like he was acting when he did the interview with Holly – I understand his body language would be expected to reflect how nervous he must have felt, but I felt like he was intentionally making himself seem small and fragile. I also felt like it had been scripted and practised to death by him and…

    • loopylou600 says

      I see the ice clue and can see how it’s connected to Philip, but what ‘school’ did he close down? He doesn’t teach acting or coaching classes that I know of. I’m confused here, or does it mean his ‘grooming school’ ? Horrid if true and it’s him.

  136. The Beagle says

    Victor: Kevin Spacey
    Sleazy: James Franco
    Icy: Phillip Schofield

    Optional: If the allegations are true, I hope all the worst things happen to him.
