ITV has published findings from its external inquiry into former “This Morning” anchor Phillip Schofield’s affair with a Pa on the show. Schofield did not participate in the inquiry because of a “risk to his health,” the report stated, adding that the former anchor’s “mental health has since deteriorated.”
U.K public service broadcaster ITV hired lawyer Jane Mulcahy Kc to conduct a review earlier this year after Schofield admitted to an “unwise but not illegal” affair with the young staffer (Variety is aware of the staffer’s identity but is not naming him to protect his anonymity). The resulting fallout saw Schofield step down from the daytime magazine show after two decades. He was also dropped by his agent. His long-time co-anchor, Holly Willoughby, found herself caught up in the scandal and also stepped down a few months later after becoming the target of a kidnap plot.
