ITV has confirmed that after reports surfaced of an affair between an older male colleague and younger male colleagues in 2020, they immediately initiated an investigation.

Phillip explained he did not seek divorce as they remain legally married. It has been reported he has moved out of their Oxfordshire home into a London apartment while continuing to commute daily to ITV studios in Manchester and Bury St Edmunds.
Recently, 61-year-old former This Morning runner Tim Hunt came under scrutiny following images showing him at an event with his younger lover who works on set – whom he initially denied was in any relationship. Later though he would admit it had been unwise and unprofessional arrangement.

As soon as reports surfaced of an affair between a presenter and an under-aged male staffer in early 2020, ITV began conducting investigations – though all allegations were later categorically denied by both parties involved.
Schofield first revealed his sexuality in February 2020 and stated that he had been struggling with his homosexuality since his teens. Although initially suppressing his feelings, recently he has begun coming out to family and friends.
Though Schofield made his intentions known, it remains uncertain as to whether or not she has a partner. Recently, she took issue with fans who claimed the male walking companion in one of his posts on Instagram was his new love interest; additionally, this post raised doubts as to who Holly Willoughby really was!
