Dermot O'Leary was left having to apologise to Holly Willoughby just seconds into their latest appearance on This Morning. The pair were back at the helm of the daytime show on Wednesday (June 14) just as the boss of ITV faced questions about the recent Phillip Schofield scandal.
It has been revealed that Schofield is undergoing counselling, funding by ITV, after he requested the help after he resigned from ITV and was dropped by his talent agency YMU after admitting to an "unwise but not illegal" affair with a younger male colleague.
A week before he admitted to the rumoured relationship, Schofield, 61, stepped back as host of This Morning after rumours of a 'feud' between him and co-host Holly behind the scenes hit the headlines. He later stepped back from ITV altogether after he admitted to lying to Holly, his employers, and others about his affair with the young man.
