Phillip Schofield has found his own remarks coming under fire as he discussed Jeremy Clarkson's new apology on This Morning. It was revealed on Monday (January 16) that the former Top Gear host sent a Christmas Day apology to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle following his widely condemned column in The Sun.
The piece, in which the 62-year-old TV presenter said he dreamed of the duchess being paraded through British towns and publicly shamed, became the Independent Press Standards Organisation’s (Ipso) most complained-about article after its publication. Jeremy said his language was "disgraceful" and he is "profoundly sorry", but the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have responded and said he did not address "his long-standing pattern of writing articles that spread hate rhetoric, dangerous conspiracy theories and misogyny".
The Sun later apologised and said it regretted the publication of the column which last week surpassed more than 25,000 Ipso complaints. Then in a lengthy statement on his verified Instagram account at the start of the week, the Jeremy said he emailed the couple on Christmas Day to say his language in the column had been "disgraceful" and he was "profoundly sorry".
