In first TV appearance since leaving This Morning, Schofield says he was ‘chucked under a bus’ by colleagues
Phillip Schofield says the “utter betrayal” by his television colleagues has made him never want to be a daytime presenter again as he returns to the small screen.on a TV series since he left ITV in May 2023 after he admitted to an “unwise but not illegal” affair with a younger male colleague., he denied having been “forced out” of the daytime show, and said he was “so very, very sorry” for lying to the channel, his colleagues and his wife and friends.
In the second episode, he says he had expected to “die on live television at 93”, but now he does not think he wants to do it any more because he has been “hurt so badly” by being a presenter, and “some of the people on that sort of telly”.Schofield says that when he started at the BBC as a booking clerk at 19, he was able to go to Television Centre, where ITV’s This Morning was later filmed, and “loved being there”.
He adds that “people can be so fake with you when it’s all going well, and suddenly utter, utter betrayal”. “I think another TV presenter or two might have done exactly the same thing, difference is, heterosexual, it’s not an unusual thing in the gay world for there to be a difference in age groups.”A video is also shown from before he took on the challenge in which he says: “You’ve got to look elsewhere, and you’ve got to see: where does that path go? Because I can’t go down that one any more.”
