This Morning has been dragged kicking and screaming into the spotlight in the wake of the Phillip Schofield 's departure, with ITV chiefs said to believe the show has been "tarnished beyond repair".
It emerged on Friday that Schofield lied about a relationship with a younger male colleague, deceiving his co-stars, bosses and agent.
While ITV has insisted, "This Morning is not under review and there's no plans for the show to be axed," the drama has shaken the show to its core.
