ITV confirms it has been investigating “rumors” about Phillip Schofield’s relationship

ITV recently confirmed it was investigating “rumours” of a relationship between 61-year-old Schofield and his colleague when they began to circulate in 2020.

An ITV spokesman said: “Following on from our statement last night, ITV can confirm that ITV investigated when rumors of a relationship between Phillip Schofield and an ITV employee first began to circulate in early 2020.

“Both parties were questioned and repeatedly categorically denied the rumors, as did Phillip’s then-agency YMU.

“In addition, ITV has spoken to a number of people who worked on This Morning and no evidence of a relationship has been found beyond hearsay and rumours, nor has been found any evidence of a relationship.”

“Phillip’s statement yesterday shows he has lied to people at ITV, from senior management to other presenters, the YMU, the media and others, about this relationship.”
