Eight ITV stars 'raised concerns' about Phillip Schofield's 'toxic' behaviour

Phillip, 61, posted a statement on Instagram last weekend announcing he was leaving This Morning after days of speculation about a feud between him and Holly, 42, who he has co-hosted the ITV show alongside for 13 years.

The journalist has claimed that several ITV stars knew of Phillip's affair, and made raised their concerns to ITV bosses, however, it remained 'under a cloud'."I was executive editor of The Sun at that point and had spoken to eight household name ITV stars who were raising concerns about Phillip's 'toxic' behaviour, specifically the inappropriate relationship with the man," Wootton wrote in his Mail Online column.

"In addition, ITV spoke to a number of people who worked on This Morning and were not provided with, and did not find, any evidence of a relationship beyond hearsay and rumour. The TV presenter – who quit his 20 year run on This Morning last week – said the relationship occurred during his 30 year marriage to Stephanie Lowe, with whom he shares two daughters.

"The first thing I want to say is: I am deeply sorry for having lied to them, and to many others about a relationship that I had with someone working on This Morning. I did have a consensual on-off relationship with a younger male colleague at This Morning.
