ITV have issued a new statement on Phillip Schofield after the former This Morning host admitted to having an affair with a younger male colleague during his time on the show.
Phillip announced yesterday that he had resigned from ITV, which encompasses his presenting roles at the upcoming British Soap Awards and Dancing On Ice, after having lied about the relationship he had with his ex-colleague. He was also dropped by his talent agency after admitting to the "unwise, but not illegal" affair.
In a statement released to the Daily Mail on Friday evening, the 61-year-old presenter said: "The first thing I want to say is: I am deeply sorry for having lied to them (the Daily Mail), and to many others about a relationship that I had with someone working on This Morning. I did have a consensual on-off relationship with a younger male colleague at This Morning."
