Phillip Schofield has sensationally admitted to having an affair with a young male runner on This Morning, whilst he was still married to his ex-wife, Stephanie.The 61 year old, who stepped down from This Morning last Saturday, admitted that the "on-off consensual relationship" happened, as he said it was "not wise but not illegal". In a statement made to MailOnline, Phillip said that he met the man in question "when he was a teenager", and wanted help to get onto television.
Phillip then said: "It was only after he started to work on the show that it became more than just a friendship.That relationship was unwise, but not illegal. It is now over." He also apologised to MailOnline for "lying" to them about the relationship when the publication published the story earlier this month, as he denied it at the time.
Part of his statement said: "'In an effort to protect my ex-colleague I haven't been truthful about the relationship. "But my recent, unrelated, departure from This Morning fuelled speculation and raised questions which have been impacting him, so for his sake it is important for me to be honest now." Speaking about his omission of the truth, Phillip said: "I am painfully conscious that I have lied to my employers at ITV, to my colleagues and friends, to my agents, to the media and therefore the public and most importantly of all to my family.
