Former Wales captain Gareth Thomas has had his say on the saga surrounding former This Morning host Philip Schofield after the presenter suggested the backlash he has faced would have been different if he wasn't gay.
Schofield has been subject to extensive media scrutiny after quitting the flagship ITV daytime show and announcing that he had lied about an affair with a younger male production runner.
In an interview with the BBC, the 61-year-old said the affair was "unwise but not illegal" but had now caused him to have "lost everything" while he is also afraid to leave the house. He went on to claim that if the affair had been a “male-female” relationship then “it wouldn’t be such a scandal".
