Former ITV chairman Archie Norman said “work place relations do happen” as he had his say on the ongoing Phillip Schofield saga.
The scandal erupted last month, when Phil’s exit from This Morning prompted a bombshell statement in which he admitted to having an “unwise but not illegal” affair with a much younger man who worked on the show.
The backlash prompted calls for heads to roll at ITV, as it emerged bosses had investigated reports of the relationship in 2020, but Phil - and the unnamed man - had denied it.
