ITV Phillip Schofield investigation ‘unable to uncover’ evidence of affair with PA

by

ITV’s review into Phillip Schofield’s behaviour on This Morning has been published after he quit the TV show over allegations surrounding his relationship with a younger colleague.

The 61-year-old senstionally quit ITV in May this year after admitting a “consensual on-off relationship” that was “unwise, but not illegal”.

He apologised for the affair, which happened while he was married to his wife of 30 years, Stephanie Lowe. ITV subsequently launched a review into Mr Schofield’s behaviour on the popular morning show.

The review found that the broadcaster made “considerable efforts” to find out the truth about an alleged relationship between Mr Schofield and a runner on This Morning in 2019.

The report added that ITV was “unable to uncover the relevant evidence” until Mr Schofield’s admission in late May 2023 of the affair.

Mr Schofield “reluctantly declined” to take part in an external review into the circumstances surrounding his departure from ITV because of “the risk to his health,” a report says.

Jane Mulcahy KC added that she has been informed Schofield’s mental health has since deteriorated.
