MPs ‘to question ITV’ over Phillip Schofield’s affair with younger colleague
The Guardian says MPs are reportedly planning on questioning ITV executives over This Morning presenter Phillip Schofield’s affair with a younger male colleague.
It came as the Prince’s Trust said it had dropped Schofield as an ambassador. “In light of Phillip’s recent admissions, we have agreed with him that it is no longer appropriate to work together,” a spokesperson for the charity said on Tuesday.
The Telegraph said that members of the House of Commons culture, media and sport select committee will use next week’s televised session to question executives on their handling of the issue after ITV said it had investigated “rumours of a relationship” between Schofield and the employee as early as 2020.
