Phillip Schofield says This Morning affair began 'in my dressing room' and reveals younger man's age

Phillip Schofield has denied that his former lover was underage when their affair began.

The former This Morning star spoke to the BBC after he admitted to having an on-off fling with a 'much younger' ITV co-worker when he was still married to his wife Stephanie Lowe. Phil also claims he was 'in a mess' with his sexuality when the affair started.

In an interview which aired on Friday, June 2, he was asked directly by the BBC’s Amol Rajan if he had any kind of sexual relationship when his former lover was underage. He responded: “God no. In my statement, it says ‘consensual relationship, fully legal’, I mean, that (the statement) was approved by both sides.”
