Phillip Schofield dramatically left ITV this week after revealing his affair with a much younger colleague. The 61-year-old, who came out as gay in 2020, has been dropped from all the shows he used to present on the channel following reports of a feud between him and co-presenter Holly Willoughby.
As reported by The Mirror, this includes This Morning, which he had hosted for 21 years, Dancing on Ice, game shows The Cube and 5 Rings, and hosting the British Soap Awards. He has also ‘parted ways’ with his talent agency YMU with ‘immediate effect’, so the future of his 40-year career seems uncertain, The Mirror reports.
The latest revelation in the Schofield saga was his admission to having a "consensual on-off relationship" with a male colleague, who he first met when the unnamed man was a teenager and wanted to break into the TV industry. In a bid to end days of confusion about his abrupt This Morning exit, Phil confessed he had lied to ITV, his colleagues, agents and family and friends.
