Alison Hammond became emotional during a This Morning discussion of the ongoing Phillip Schofield situation, saying she did not want to 'see any death' as a result of the fallout from the former presenter's confession of an 'unwise' affair with a younger man and subsequent quitting of the ITV show.
The ITV1 morning show has been the centre of attention since Schofield quit the show following the revelations and the veteran presenter now spoken out about the situation, with BBC's Amol Rajan, saying the fallout from the revelations had been “relentless” and urged the media to leave his former lover “alone now," more on that, here.
Alison became very emotional while she, Dermot O'Leary and Gyles Brandreth and Sonia Sodha discussed his interview and Phillip's mental health. Opening the segment, O'Leary said: "It’s the top story today and we don’t want to shy away from it...very difficult to cover this as he’s a friend and a colleague."
