Phillip Schofield affair with younger man: ITV say rumours were investigated in 2020

ITV has released an official statement saying they launched an investigation into a rumoured relationship between Phillip Schofield and a younger male employee in early 2020, although Schofield denied the claims at the time.

It comes after Schofield said he was in an on-and-off relationship with his younger colleague, which he defined as “unwise but not illegal."
