Holly Willoughby has revealed tonight (Saturday) that Phillip Schofield denied that he'd had an affair to her. The 61-year-old former This Morning presenter admitted on Friday (May 26) he had conducted an 'unwise, but not illegal' affair with a young male colleague.
In a statement on Instagram, Holly , 42, said: “It’s taken time to process yesterday’s news. When reports of this relationship first surfaced, I asked Phil directly if this was true and was told it was not. It’s been very hurtful to now find out that this was a lie.”
Earlier on Saturday, ITV said it investigated “rumours of a relationship” between Phillip Schofield and an ITV employee around three years ago but claimed both parties “repeatedly denied” it. A spokesperson for ITV said on Saturday that the broadcaster was “not provided with, and did not find, any evidence of a relationship beyond hearsay and rumour” when it looked into the matter in 2020.
