ITV have claimed Phillip Schofield lied to Holly Willoughby and his fellow This Morning presenters as he covered up his affair with a 'younger male' colleague.
The extent of Phil's deceit emerged as the station admitted for the first time their lead presenter was investigated over a suspected fling with a co-worker three years ago, as they defended themselves from accusations of a cover up.
After Phil, 61, admitted to an 'unwise but not illegal' affair with a man he met as a teen and helped get into television, many fans of the award-winning daytime show questioned how the relationship was kept from the show's stars and bosses.
