The Rest Is...Phillip Schofield: The Fallout (Part Two)

In Part Two, Jacki and Lyle discuss the latest revelations surrounding Phillip Schofield and his exit from This Morning. Not long after recording what is now Part One of this double header, Schofield released a statement in which he revealed that, during his time working on This Morning, he had been involved in an 'unwise but not illegal' relationship with a young man working on the show. It was alleged that Willoughby had no knowledge of this relationship. After the release of his statement, the scandal surrounding Schofield and this young man became the number one news story across the UK, with national newspapers, radio stations, and 24-hour rolling news programmes focussing in on the relationship itself, allegations about Schofield's behaviour, and ITV's role in the whole situation. It later came to light that ITV had conducted an investigation into the events, before Schofield took part in a BBC interview last Friday with respected journalist Amol Rajan to clarify the information in his statement. In a wide-ranging and at times uncomfortable interview, Schofield discussed the fallout from the events of the last few weeks, dark thoughts he had been having, the nature of his relationship with the man in question, and he also claimed that ITV's investigation amounted to a few questions to both parties and seemingly nothing more. ITV's Director of Strategy was called before Parliament to explain their handling of the situation, and Holly Willoughby's first speech after returning to This Morning left a lot to be desired. There was so much to discuss, and Jacki and Lyle got stuck into all of it!TW: This episode discusses issues surrounding the subjects of suicide and depression.
