Phillip Schofield's relationship was 'deeply inappropriate' ITV boss tells MPs during grilling
ITV's boss Dame Carolyn McCall has told MPs Phillip Schofield's relationship with a young male runner was "deeply inappropriate" because of the "imbalance of power".But there was no evidence of the the former This Morning presenter's affair and it was "repeatedly denied by both individuals", she said.
"One of the things I hope you'll see as we go through this is that we worked very, very hard for many months until recently to ask people... if they knew something was going on. He was also dropped by his talent agency YMU as he described the relationship as "unwise but not illegal".LBC and other media outlets are not naming the runner, who left the programme previously.
