EXPLAINED: Bbc breakfast presenter dan walker speaks out on phillip schofield situation - The Real Truth

Former BBC Breakfast presenter Dan Walker has urged people to stop 'relentless hounding' Phillip Schofield. Mr Schofield stepped down from ITV's This Morning last week after admitting he had an affair with a much younger man, who also worked on the show.

A few days ago he did a tell-all interview with the BBC, and also one with The Sun on Friday. He admitted to the newspaper that he struggling with his mental health. He said was scared of people spitting at him on the street and believed his career was over.

Mr Schofield decided to do the interviews because he wanted to tell his side of the story. He said: "I have to. Because there is an innocent person here, who didn't do anything wrong. Who is vulnerable and probably feels like I do."
