‘Very senior heads could roll’
In the statement the 61-year-old said: “I am making this statement via the Daily Mail, to whom I have already apologised personally for misleading, through my lawyer who I also misled, about a story which they wanted to write about me a few days ago.
“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 a just a friendship. That relationship was unwise, but not illegal. It is now over.” He went on to announce that he was resigning from ITV and would not be hosting the British Soap Awards next month. Just minutes later, his management company YMU cut ties with Schofield following his announcement about the affair.It has now been suggested that if any bosses on the show were part of a ‘cover up’ of Schofield’s actions then This Morning could be axed for good.
