Phillip Schofield dropped as ambassador for Prince's Trust after This Morning scandal

Former This Morning host Phillip Schofield has been axed as an ambassador for the Prince's Trust.

The 61-year-old resigned from ITV last week and was dropped by his talent agency YMU after admitting to an "unwise but not illegal" affair with a younger male colleague. The relationship took place while the TV star was still married to wife Stephanie Lowe and before he came out publicly as gay.

The Prince's Trust, which was founded in 1976 by King Charles, helps youngsters who face disadvantage or adversity by supporting them to find work, start businesses, or gain vital education and training. It has a number of celebrity ambassadors who support the charity through fundraising or promoting its work.
