    Schofield, who was married at the time, branded the relationship “unwise but not illegal”.
    His admission catapulted the show into chaos – and has left his 40-year career in tatters.
    And he has now revealed that he told his young runner the night before he came out as gay, having been married for 27 years.
    Schofield came out live on air and in a Sun interview in February 2020 — and was met with a wave of support, including from his family.

    In an interview with the BBC yesterday, he said: “I actually spoke to him the night before the morning before I came out.
    “He knew about that, he was never going to out me, we were still mates.”
    Schofield said his runner supportively replied: “Oh my god, amazing! That’s brave. Well done. I hope it goes okay.”
    The star is at pains to publicly apologise to his former lover but desperately wants to set the record straight on how the pair met — to counter the gossip about their affair.
    Most read in Celebrity
    Schofield is at lengths to point out the chronology of events, and make clear the pair were not in touch romantically or inappropriately after they first communicated when the boy was just 15.
    He added that it was “a completely innocent backwards and forwards over a period of time about a job, about careers.”
    According to Schofield, the first romantic encounter between him and the man took place in his ITV dressing room and was “consensual”.
    Schofield maintains that his colleague was 20 years old when he first had any kind of sexual contact with him.
    And although the former TV star said he was ashamed, he insisted he did not groom the runner.
    Schofield claims he had worked with the colleague for a short ­period and they had become friends.
    And he said that he was “struggling with his sexuality” at the time.
    In an interview with The Sun he said: “Then one day something happened that just changed it. That is the moment I look back on, and regret so deeply.
    “It was in my dressing room in 2017, it was a consensual moment, it was mutual.
    “It was not a love affair, it was not a relationship, we were not boyfriends; we were mates.
    “It wasn’t feelings (I was getting), it was more like mates: excitement.
    “I was really struggling with my sexuality at that time in the build up to what happened.
    “But over a period of time it happened maybe five or six times.
    “We just didn’t think anyone knew, there was no lying, we thought, stupidly, that nobody knew.
    “You look at yourself. I was unprofessional, one time, in a 41-year career.
    “I know I did that. And there is no excuse. I won’t put forward an excuse. No one did anything wrong apart from me.”
    In the last week several lurid claims and social media rumours have emerged. Many, Phil says, are categorically untrue.
    He insisted that his ex-lover did not receive a penny in “hush money”, nor was an NDA ever signed preventing him from speaking out.

    He also says he did not use ITV money to pay for taxis for the man — “I don’t have an ITV account”.
    While Phillip did use a South East London apartment, he stressed that the couple only used it once. More

    Holly has travelled to Portugal to try and escape the furore around recent revelations from her former co-host
    In an interview with The Sun, he says the pair have broken all ­contact — and reveals it was his paedophile brother’s imprisonment that made her distance herself from the friendship.
    He says: “I’ve lost my best friend. I let her down (Holly). I let that entire show down. I let the viewers down.
    “Holly did not know (about the romance). And she was one of the first texts that I sent, to say, ‘I am so, so sorry that I lied to you’.
    “She didn’t reply and I understand why she didn’t reply, as well. So yeah. If anyone is in any way linking Holly to this; that is ­absolutely, wholly untrue.

    “I had no feud with Holly. She is my TV sister. But quite rightly, when I am in the middle of a s**t show with bad press over something where I have done nothing wrong — in fact, I did everything right — it’s a witch hunt. And that strips that (friendship) away.
    “Quite rightly, she is going to take a step back and think, ‘I have to step back from this’, and I understand that completely.
    “As we see now, this is a vicious game and the last thing you want is for something to stick on you.
    “It was becoming bigger than the people we had on the show. I understand that.”

    Speaking to the BBC, he added: “I know you can’t reply, you’re probably not allowed, but please know I’m desperately sorry.”
    Holly shared an emotional statement when Phillip announced his departure from the show.
    She penned: “Hi everyone, it’s been over 13 great years presenting This Morning with Phil and I want to take this opportunity to thank him for all of his knowledge, his experience and his humour.
    “The sofa won’t feel the same without him,” followed by a love heart.
    Yesterday, it emerged that ITV boss Carolyn McCall has been called to face MPs amid the ­ongoing This Morning furore.
    She has been called to give evidence to a parliamentary committee to answer questions about the broadcaster’s approach to safeguarding and complaint-handling following Phillip’s resignation.

    “Then I’d go into my dressing room and write up the script, then go into the sanctuary which is make-up, and have a chat with everyone in there.”

    “But of course I understand that there will be a massive judgment, but bearing in mind, I have never exercised that anywhere else.
    “I assume somebody, somewhere, assumed something was going on, correctly, and didn’t say anything.”
    The star is at pains to publicly apologise to his former lover and wanted to counter gossip about their affair.
    He continued: “At the time I did not think about it possibly ruining my career. I really probably only thought about it when I saw the rumour mill, and saw it growing.
    “Then I saw the link with the drama school photo all those years before, and thought, ‘This looks shocking’.
    “But I didn’t lie to protect my career, he didn’t want his name in public. He wanted his own life.
    “I have massive guilt, and regret. I’ve made a mistake, I’ve had an affair at work.”
    Furiously vaping, he added: “I think my greatest apology must go to him.
    “It has brought the greatest misery into his totally innocent life, his totally innocent family, his totally innocent friends. It has brought the greatest grief to them.”
    “I’m sorry. And I will forever be sorry. I will die sorry. I am so deeply mortified.”
    Schofield has admitted lying to cover up the affair which sparked a tumultuous week, with ITV bosses being accused of hiding the facts.
