Phillip Schofield has said he first started following his former lover on Twitter when he was aged 15 after he was asked to do so by a friend.
In an interview with Amol Rajan on the BBC, the former This Morning presenter explained he was invited by a friend to go to a school, something he said he has done “thousands of times”.
Schofield claimed he was later asked to follow “a fan” back on Twitter, who was aged 15 at the time – to which the presenter agreed.
