Alison Hammond was in tears as she broke her silence on Phillip Schofield's first TV interview since he quit ITV.
Mr Schofield stepped away from the channel after he admitted having an affair with a colleague. The broadcaster issued an apology in the tell all interview with Amol Rajan.
He said: "I would say to everyone, to my family, my friends, my work colleagues, the public, to ITV, my management company, to everyone that I lied to, that I am desperately sorry." The show addressed Mr Schofield's interview at the start of This Morning, which was hosted by Alison and Dermot O'Leary.
