Phillip Schofield first met the male colleague he later had an affair with during a visit to the 15-year-old’s school when he was in his 40s, it has been reported.
The former This Morning presenter, 61, is said to have been invited to give a talk at a theatre school in the North West of England by a friend, who also knew the 15-year-old drama student.
According to The Mail on Sunday, the meeting took place 12 years ago, with Schofield, who was then in his 40s, coming across as “enthusiastic, encouraging and generous with his time”.
