Carolyn McCall tells MPs there was no commercial motivation behind lack of formal investigation of claims
The chief executive of ITV has denied that management may have been motivated to cover up Phillip Schofield’s affair with a younger member of staff to avoid potentially commercially harming its flagship This Morning programme.
Schofield quit This Morning after admitting that he had lied about an “unwise, but not illegal” affair, prompting accusations from former presenters such as Piers Morgan and Eamonn Holmes that the relationship had been known about throughout the broadcaster but no action had been taken.
