Ruth Langsford has been dragged into an alleged cover up by ITV after her husband Eamonn Holmes claimed they were both "lied to" when Phillip Schofield went public with his affair with a young TV runner.
The 61-year-old released a shocking statement regarding a "younger male ITV colleague" on Friday, which he said he hid from his wife Stephanie Lowe and This Morning bosses.
The veteran TV presenter said the affair began while he was still with his wife Stephanie, adding he was "very, very sorry" for having been unfaithful to her. It comes after he announced he was stepping down from presenting the ITV talk show with "immediate effect" last weekend, while co-presenter Holly Willoughby will remain on the programme.
