ITV Executive grilled over This Morning editor's bizarre aubergine comments

Depending on who you believe, either everyone at This Morning knew about Phillip Schofield’s affair with a young colleague, or no one knew.

If you are on team Eamonn Holmes, ITV bosses “had to know” and decided to “cover up” the truth. If you are on team Holly Willoughby, who returned to This Morning yesterday, Schofield’s colleagues have been “let down” by his lies and accepted nothing happened.

Now it is the turn of MPs to try to get to the truth, as Magnus Brooke, ITV’s group director of strategy, policy and regulation appears before the Commons culture, media and sport committee. He will be asked who knew what, and when, about Schofield’s sexual relationship with a runner 34 years his junior, and what was done to investigate rumours of their affair.
