Phillip Schofield has admitted having an affair with a much younger male ITV employee while he was still married and revealed he is stepping down from all roles at the broadcaster.
His admission of the relationship, and that he had lied about it, came in a statement published in the Daily Mail shortly before his agents also revealed they were parting company with him with immediate effect.
ITV confirmed they have accepted his resignation and that he will no longer be appearing on the channel.
A spokesperson for the broadcaster said on Friday: "We are deeply disappointed by the admissions of deceit made tonight by Phillip Schofield.
"The relationships we have with those we work with are based on trust. Phillip made assurances to us which he now acknowledges were untrue and we feel badly let down.
"We accept his resignation from ITV and therefore can confirm that he will not be appearing on ITV as had previously been stated."
In his own statement, Mr Schofield said he was "deeply sorry" for lying about the relationship to ITV, his colleagues, friends and agents.
He said: "I did have a consensual on-off relationship with a younger male colleague at This Morning.
"Contrary to speculation, whilst I met the man when he was a teenager and was asked to help him to get into television, it was only after he started to work on the show that it became more than just a friendship.
"That relationship was unwise, but not illegal. It is now over."

He be Toobin’
I guess the BBC doesn’t have the monopoly on perverts.
In today’s “absolutely anything goes” world, why do these occasional Puritanical actions pop up?
So he boinked a young guy while he was married? So he boinked a co-worker? So he lied about it?
That makes him a modern man, doesn’t it?
Stupid me…I thought of an older woman at first thought.
Absolutely. It seems to be an issue in the industry?
Safeguarding young people should be a priority.
Seems to be a pattern.
“Rumours of behind-the-scenes problems between the pair surfaced after his brother Tim Schofield was convicted of sexual activity with a child.”
Yes his brother is in jail I believe and he disowned him.
"I helped a boy start his career, and he paid me with sex."
Very Classical Greek.
Another faggot on the fire
More of them should feel shame instead of “pride”.
Frankly none of it should be tolerated.
It dignifies homosexual behavior to call it an “affair”. But then, it also minimizes infidelity to use that term. I prefer the more descriptive terms of sodomy and adultery.
Phillip Schofield and Matthew Mcgreevy Relationship 2023
Seems to be an unusually high number of homosexuals in the national media of both the US and UK.
Indeed.
Is he married to a real woman?
Promiscuity is rampant, and was when the Pauline revulsion of both same-sex behaviors and that separate category, effeminacy, were cataloged. Today's supposedly "liberal" side of both Judaism and Christianity have tried to wash away the old, in favor of the "progressive." Historically and before the advent of some sexual mores under attack now, such as the below were "normal" and today's progressives would normalize them again. As the article noted:
The article notes "his brother Tim Schofield was convicted of sexual activity with a child."
Promiscuity (and especially what some of us still think of as deviancy in all its forms and as is trying to be normalized) is really nothing more than the ancient world's standards as to sex reborn today officially.
Today's "progressives" are regressive.
One observes that in Biden's administration is the whole transsexual craze, and centered on a like individual. Rachel/Robert Levine is the same story.
"Identity" politics turned into "fluid" identity confusion, then turned into public policy, as "influencers" like Mulvaney are brought in to advance the Biden-Obama cause.
His poor wife and kids. Those kids now know that daddy likes to sodomize young guys.
At one time he was married to a woman, and had at least two children with her.
As the other poster said, I’m surprised the rest that British media appear to be judging and condemning him for this.
There might be some other reason he’s suddenly been declared as toxic. I don’t know what. Perhaps he just has the wrong enemies and someone has a grudge against him, someone with influence.
