Phillip Schofield sent a text message to his This Morning co-star Holly Willoughby after news of his affair with a 'younger' ITV colleague broke last week. In an interview with The Sun, the 61-year-old revealed the exact words he sent to his former friend, which was the last contact he had with her.
Phillip resigned from ITV last week and was dropped by his talent agency YMU after admitting to an “unwise but not illegal” relationship with an ITV colleague. In his first interviews since leaving the broadcaster and This Morning, he said he was “utterly broken and ashamed” but that he had not “groomed” the man in question.
Opening up about his friendship with Holly, which is now over, Phillip said that he received no reply from her after he sent his final message. “The last time we had a conversation was when I texted Holly and said, ‘Don’t reply’ – this was after the statement last week – ‘Don’t reply, you’re probably not allowed to, but I am deeply deeply sorry that I lied to you,'" he told The Sun.
