A spokesperson for ITV said the broadcaster was “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. He said he was “very, very sorry” for being 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.
