It said: “The ITV employee was aged 19 when he first did work experience at This Morning in 2015 and 20 years old when he applied and succeeded in securing a job as a runner on the show.
“She will review our records and talk to people involved. This work will also consider our relevant processes and policies and whether we need to change or strengthen any,” the letter said. Since Schofield’s resignation, This Morning has been plagued by allegations of “toxicity”. Schofield’s relationship took place while the TV star was still married to wife Stephanie Lowe and before he came out publicly as gay. In a statement on Friday last week, he said he was “deeply sorry” for “having lied to them , and to many others about a relationship that I had with someone working on This Morning. I did have a consensual on-off relationship with a younger male colleague at This Morning”.
