.
The letter in question reportedly mentions the "significant media coverage concerning Phillip Schofield" and adds that: "As you would expect we take the matter extremely seriously and have reviewed our own records over the weekend."The letter mentions that ITV records show "when rumours of a relationship between Phillip Schofield and an employee of ITV first began to circulate in late 2019/early 2020 ITV investigated".
In the letter, Dame Carolyn says there has been "a lot of inaccuracy" in reporting and she added that the former employee Schofield admitted to an affair with has been offered support throughout. "The employee has made it clear that he does not wish to be named or identified in connection with this matter. We would be grateful if you would be mindful of this."
This comes after Phillip quit This Morning after two decades following rumours that he had 'fallen out' with his former co-host Holly Willoughby. His statement read: "I did have a consensual on-off relationship with a younger male colleague at This Morning. Contrary to speculation, whilst I met the man when he was a teenager and was asked to help him to get into television, it was only after he started to work on the show that it became more than just a friendship. That relationship was unwise, but not illegal. It is now over."
