It's not really something I've taken a massive amount of interest in.
But weren't the rumours of grooming just unsubstantiated gossip?
My understanding was that the showrunner had been mentored by Phil after starting work with ITV and that it hadn't become a sexual relationship until some time after (prompting Phil's rather abrupt, public coming out).
I'd certainly agree that getting into a relationship with somebody you had previously mentored is massively inappropriate/unprofessional, but again, I suspect that the rumours that anything sexual was taking place when the showrunner was underage, or that Philip was deliberately grooming this individual are nonsense fuelled by homophobia, his nonce brother and fucking 'queuegate'. I think comparing him to Spacey is maybe a little unfair
