ITV has instructed a lawyer to carry out a review of the facts surrounding Phillip Schofield’s relationship with a younger colleague following his exit from This Morning.
As ITV attempts to get a grip on a scandal that has dominated UK newspaper front pages for more than a week, employees were told about the review on Wednesday by Chief People Officer David Osborn.
In an email, seen by Deadline, Osborn said ITV wants to “establish the facts” and consider where it can improve its processes. He said the work would be carried out “as quickly as possible.”
Separately, ITV CEO Carolyn McCall wrote to ministers to say that barrister Jane Mulcahy Kc “will review our records and talk to people involved.”
ITV ordered the review after Schofield confessed to his relationship with a young member of the This Morning team following years of concealing and lying about their tryst.
