ITV This Morning received a tip-off over Phillip Schofield's affair with a young runner THREE years ago, it has been claimed. Dan Wootton has claimed ITV were sent an e-mail three years ago alleging Schofield's affair with a far younger production assistant.
"The whistle-blower who warned ITV about Phillip Schofield. I've obtained bombshell email sent to woke boss Carolyn McCall three years ago by a former This Morning producer that lifted lid on affair and demanded to know 'why is he still on our screens?'" Dan tweeted on Tuesday.
"I have obtained a potentially significant email sent to McCall and Julian Bellamy, the managing director of ITV Studios, which makes This Morning, on February 10, 2020," Wootton wrote in MailOnline, adding: "Written by a former This Morning staff member who had since left the show, it demanded an investigation into what they feared was an abuse of power by Schofield, suggesting at the very least he should be suspended from the programme while the widespread allegations were looked into."

The email in part reads: "With the current rumours and accusations swirling around about Phillip Schofield…why is he still on our screens? Why have ITV not suspended him pending an internal inquiry?" On Friday, Schofield quit ITV after admitting an affair with the younger colleague.
