Until his downdescend, Schofield was a mainstay of magazine createat show “This Morning,” which he had fronted for over 20 years, the last decade or so aprolongedside his co-star Holly Willoughby. After a unveil leave outtep around the time of Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral — the duo were accincluded of jumping the 13-hour-prolonged line to see her coffin; they claimed they were there for toil — animosity towards the pair began to enlarge, resurfacing elderly rumors about Schofield’s afuninentire with a youthful colleague.

Willoughby was said to be “blindsided” and their once seal frifinishship crumbled, making their professional one untassist. Schofield stepped down from “This Morning” the folloprosperg month before finpartner acunderstandledgeting to an “unalerted but not illhorrible” afuninentire with a youthful PA on the show, whom he’d helped get a job at ITV when the PA was 19 years elderly.
The descend-out was seismic for Schofield, who was dropped by his agency as well as ITV. ITV went on to direct an outside appraise to determine whether they should have been more proactive in dealing with the toilplace afuninentire as well as a alertedly “poisonous” atmosphere on the show’s set.
