PHILLIP SCHOFIELD HAS hit back at “the same handful of people with a grudge against me” and denied that there was any “toxicity” at This Morning, in his first statement since his admission of an affair with a younger ITV colleague.
“This morning IS the best show to work on, with the best people. In all the years I worked there there was no toxicity,” he said. As the show aired today for the first time since Schofield admitted to the affair, presenters Dermot O’Leary and Alison Hammond briefly acknowledged the controversy surrounding it, but said that it would continue to be broadcast.
“I was on the show for 10 years and I genuinely loved and valued working there. However, over time, I grew increasingly worried about how things were behind-the-scenes and how people, including myself, were being treated,” he said. An ITV spokesperson said: “We are sorry to read Dr Ranj’s post today. At ITV we are fully committed to providing every opportunity for anyone who works with us to raise any concern or comments they may have.
In a statement on Friday, Schofield said it was when the younger man joined the show as an adult that their affair began.
