The former This Morning presenter, 61, said the fallout from the revelations had been ‘relentless’.
PHILLIP SCHOFIELD SAID he has “lost everything” in the wake of his affair with a younger male colleague and told of a “catastrophic effect” on his mind.
He said he saw “nothing ahead” of him and he had to talk about his career in television “in the past tense”.“If you don’t think that that is going to have the most catastrophic effect on someone’s mind… do you want me to die? Because that’s where I am.Referring to the Love Island host who took her own life in February 2020, he added: “I think I understand how Caroline Flack felt.”
The former Dancing on Ice presenter told The Sun newspaper the fallout from his secret affair had brought “the greatest misery” to his former lover’s “totally innocent life”. The pair had presented This Morning together since 2009, with Willoughby due to return to the show on Monday after the half-term break, having taken an early holiday after news of Schofield’s departure emerged.
In a sign he believes his television career is over, he told Rajan: “I see nothing ahead of me but blackness and sadness and regret and remorse and guilt.”
