Phillip Schofield's admission of an affair with a younger, male ITV colleague - that he lied to his bosses and family about - has left his career in tatters and plunged his beloved show This Morning into a scandal it may never recover from.
According to The Mail on Sunday, Phillip met his 'on-off' friend when he was just 15 after visiting his school.
Phillip, 61, then helped the land the teen a job in TV when he turned 18 with a coveted role as a This Morning runner, before a romantic relationship between the pair began some time after.
