Caroline Flack’s mother has said ITV has 'learned nothing' from her daughter’s death as she spoke about Phillip Schofield's departure from the broadcaster following his secret affair with a younger male colleague.
Christine Flack criticised ITV, saying that on-screen talent were treated as “commodities”. “I know it’s a lovely job and they earn money. But also the television stations earn money from them… they’re not commodities, they’re people,” she told Newsnight, adding that Schofield and the younger man “should have been looked after”.
“I hate the thought that Phillip and this young man are going through such an awful time,” she said.
