Phillip Schofield asked 'do you want me to die?' in an interview following the revelation of his affair with a younger male ITV colleague.
The former This Morning presenter resigned from ITV last week and was dropped by his talent agency YMU after admitting to an 'unwise but not illegal' relationship. He said he has since 'lost everything' and said it has had a 'catastrophic effect' on his mind.
The 61-year-old said the fallout from the revelations had been 'relentless' and urged the media to leave his former lover 'alone now'. Speaking to the BBC’s Amol Rajan in an interview released on Friday morning, he spoke of the criticism he has faced since admitting the affair, saying: “Do you want me to die? Because that’s where I am.”
