Eamonn Holmes has claimed ITV’s This Morning “covered up” Phillip Schofield’s affair with a young male colleague. Schofield, 61, quit the show on Friday and was dropped by his talent agency YMU after admitting to an “unwise, but not illegal” affair.
“Further to our statement last night, ITV can confirm that when rumours of a relationship between Phillip Schofield and an employee of ITV first began to circulate in early 2020 ITV investigated,” a spokesperson for the broadcaster said. On Sunday the show’s former resident doctor, Dr Ranj Singh, hit out at the daytime show’s “toxic” culture. Dr Singh had said he had raised concerns about “bullying and discrimination” two years ago when he worked there and afterwards felt like he was “managed out” for whistleblowing.
“But my friend, the toxicity is not with me, Dan Wootton, or anyone else, the toxicity is with you.” He added that Schofield “created an atmosphere” on This Morning “where people hated him”. Asked after a trailer for the interview had aired but before it had been played out in full at around 10.30pm, a spokesman for Schofield said: “Phillip has no comment.”
