Overview

• Phillip Schofield, former anchor of ITV's 'This Morning', refused to participate in an external review into his relationship with a young colleague, citing a 'risk to his health'.
• The young colleague, who was more than 30 years Schofield's junior, also declined to participate in the review.
• Of the 48 people interviewed during the review, only one junior employee had knowledge of the affair, but did not report it at the time.
• ITV was unable to uncover evidence of the relationship until Schofield's admission in May 2023, despite considerable efforts.
• The review recommends that ITV set out clear guidelines for its talent to ensure good behavior, even by household names.
