ITV boss asked why she and Holly Willoughby 'only people who didn't know about Phil affair'
ITV boss Dame Carolyn McCall was asked why she and Holy Willoughby were 'the only people' at the station not to hear about Phillip Schofield's affair at a parliamentary hearing on Wednesday.
The ITV boss wrote a letter to culture secretary Lucy Frazer, Culture, Media and Sport Committee chair Dame Caroline Dinenage and Ofcom's chief executive Dame Melanie Dawes, to confirm the broadcaster had asked a barrister to carry out an external review after the scandal broke. "In every company I've ever worked my track record [shows] I’ve put people at the centre I've always treated people well. I've always wanted people to come into a place where they feel comfortable, where they can speak up where they can speak out, where they can be themselves, and where they're happy to come to work," the ITV boss replied.
The 61-year-old chief executive faced questions from MPs alongside ITV managing director Kevin Lygo and general counsel and company secretary Kyla Mullins about the This Morning row during Wednesday morning’s Culture, Media and Sport Committee session.
