Phillip Schofield review made public as ITV shares findings after ‘failure to uncover evidence’
ITV has today released the findings of the internal review conduct by lawyer Jane Mulcahy KC into the Phillip Schofield saga.
Schofield left ITV earlier this year after admitting to an “unwise but not illegal” relationship with a young runner on This Morning.
The former Dancing on Ice host claimed no one at ITV knew about the relationship.
Mulcahy’s review into ITV following the incident saw the lawyer interview 48 people across senior and junior levels of ITV’s staff.
Former staff were also interviewed as well as “on-screen personalities and those involved in managing on-screen talent.”
The report reveals ‘ITV was unable to uncover the relevant evidence until PS’s admission in late May 2023’

In the findings published by Mulcahy, she stated: “ITV’s management made considerable efforts to determine the truth about an alleged relationship between Schofield and Person X following on from the publication of a story in The Sun newspaper in early December 2019.
“However, in the face of the denials of the individuals involved, ITV was unable to uncover the relevant evidence until PS’s admission in late May 2023.”
