Just last night, the news broke that Phillip Schofield has parted ways with ITV for good, after the network cut all ties with the former This Morning presenter.
It comes after the 61 year confessed in a statement to having an affair with a younger male colleague during his marriage to wife, Stephanie Lowe, whom he shares two children with, Molly, 30 and Ruby, 27.
After Phillip Schofield's admission of an affair with a younger male colleague, ITV announced that they were "deeply disappointed" by the "admissions of deceit." However, in a new statement, addressing the relationship, ITV have now said they first conducted an investigation into Phillip's rumoured relationship with an employee back in 2020.
"Further to our statement last night, ITV can confirm that when rumours of a relationship between Phillip Schofield and an employee of ITV first began to circulate in early 2020 ITV investigated," ITV has confirmed to OK!
"Both parties were questioned and both categorically and repeatedly denied the rumours as did Phillip's then agency YMU.
"In addition, ITV spoke to a number of people who worked on This Morning and were not provided with, and did not find, any evidence of a relationship beyond hearsay and rumour.
"Phillip’s statement yesterday reveals that he lied to people at ITV, from senior management to fellow presenters, to YMU, to the media and to others over this relationship."
