In a statement to the Daily Mail, Schofield said: “I did have a consensual on-off relationship with a younger male colleague at This Morning. Schofield had presented This Morning alongside Holly Willoughby Mary Bekhait, the group chief executive of YMU Group, said: “Honesty and integrity are core values for YMU’s whole business, defining everything we do. “As a result, on Thursday we agreed to part company with Phillip, with immediate effect.” It comes after Schofield was said to be “utterly heartbroken” to have left This Morning. Days after Schofield said he was leaving This Morning, Piers Morgan, who used to present ITV’s Good Morning Britain, wrote an op-ed for The Sun, admitting he found the aftermath of Schofield’s exit “brutal to watch” and yet “entirely unsurprising”.
