ITV says it is "deeply disappointed" by the "admissions of deceit" made by Phillip Schofield after the presenter admitted to an affair with a young This Morning colleague.
The veteran TV presenter, 61, said that the affair began while he was still with his wife Stephanie, adding he was "very, very sorry" for having been unfaithful to her. It comes after he announced he was stepping down from presenting the ITV talk show with "immediate effect" last weekend, while co-presenter Holly Willoughby will remain on the programme.
Schofield, who also co-hosted Dancing On Ice with Willoughby, said he would also step down from presenting the British Soap Awards, his last public commitment. The statement from ITV said that the broadcaster feels "badly let down".
