A number of panellists on Loose Women were furious that they were dragged into the fallout of Phillip Schofield's affair with a much younger member of ITV staff, according to reports. It has emerged the affair occurred while he was still married and he has now been dropped by his talent agency YMU.
After he released details of the affair, which was not illegal, he has also stepped down from ITV completely – meaning he will no longer host the British Soap Awards next week, The Mirror reports.
Phillip admitted the affair but refused to name his former colleague, with whom he had a relationship with.
