Read our privacy policy Senior Tory Nadine Dorries has said that the “toxic” and “stale” ITV programme This Morning should be axed following the Phillip Schofield scandal. Ms Dorries questioned the “entire culture” at This Morning and said ITV viewers had been “lied to” over the affair, adding: “I don’t think it should survive.” She told Talk TV: “I think is not going away, and I just don’t think it can survive in its present format. And that made me feel more uncomfortable than answering the questions.” Former culture secretary Nadine Dorries has weighed in on row Mr Schofield has been dropped by his talent agency YMU and axed as an ambassador for the Prince’s Trust after admitting to lying to colleagues about his affair, with the royal charity saying it is “no longer appropriate” to work with him. “Both parties were questioned and both categorically and repeatedly denied the rumours, as did Phillip’s then agency YMU.” The spokesperson added: “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.” In an Instagram post earlier on Monday, Mr Schofield hit back at his critics, saying there was “no toxicity” on This Morning.
