what happened to phillip schofield this morning

Phillip Schofield, a prominent television personality in the UK, resigned from his position as co-anchor of ITVs "This Morning" on May 20, 2023, after admitting to concealing a relationship with a much younger male colleague who also worked on the show. Schofield, who was still married to his wife of 30 years at the time, apologized for the affair and for lying about it to ITV, his colleagues, friends, and his agent. ITV accepted his resignation following the revelation and issued a statement expressing disappointment in Schofields deceit. Schofields agents also ended their working relationship with him in response. The departure of Schofield from "This Morning" came amid reports of a rift with his co-presenter Holly Willoughby, with whom he had been presenting the program since 2009. Schofield had come out as gay on "This Morning" in 2020, and he and his wife separated that year. The scandal surrounding Schofields resignation has attracted significant attention in the UK, with some of his supporters arguing that there is a homophobic tinge to the criticism of him.
