The Phillip Schofield Affair: ITV Denies Plans to Cancel This Morning.
TL;DR
ITV has confirmed that This Morning will air as normal on Monday and there are no plans to axe the show despite facing questions over Phillip Schofield's affair with a younger male colleague. The broadcaster said it investigated in 2020 and found no evidence of the affair beyond "hearsay and rumour". Former culture secretary Nadine Dorries said ITV had questions to answer. Schofield quit the programme last weekend, and Holly Willoughby is on an "extended half term break" until 5 June. Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary will be presenting This Morning on Monday, ITV said.
