Phillip Schofield: What next for Holly Willoughby, ITV and This Morning?

Holly Willoughby is set to return to This Morning on Monday 5 June, two weeks after Schofield's exitPressure on ITV is increasing after several stars raised questions about what it knew of Phillip Schofield's relationship with a younger male colleague.

The 61-year-old's relationship has dominated headlines in recent days, but it has also prompted criticism about the working environment on the show."I didn't know the truth about what was going on with Phillip, but I do know the issues with This Morning go far beyond him. The culture at This Morning had become toxic, no longer aligned with ITV's values."

The man who would become Schofield's lover was a teenager when they first met, although the relationship did not start until he was over 18 and working alongside the presenter on This Morning. Speaking to the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg on Sunday, former culture secretary Nadine Dorries said: "How did that young boy get a job at ITV - what were the processes that were involved and what were the safeguarding processes that were in place for someone who was so young?"Former culture secretary Nadine Dorries questioned whether safeguarding processes were put in place by ITV

Nonetheless, Dan Wootton and ex-This Morning presenter Eamonn Holmes were among the former ITV stars who maintained that network's bosses had questions to answer about what they knew and when. She has already distanced herself from her former co-star and friend, commenting it was "very hurtful" to find Schofield had lied about the relationship.
