ITV has issued a statement after Phillip Schofield resigned from the station while admitting an affair with a younger male colleague on This Morning. On Friday (May 26) Schofield was also dropped by his talent agency after the presenter said he lied about the "consensual on-off relationship".
A spokesperson for ITV said the broadcaster was “deeply disappointed by the admissions of deceit made tonight by Phillip Schofield” after the presenter admitted to an affair with a young This Morning colleague. They added in a statement: “The relationships we have with those we work with are based on trust.
“Phillip made assurances to us which he now acknowledges were untrue and we feel badly let down. We accept his resignation from ITV and therefore can confirm that he will not be appearing on ITV as had previously been stated.”
