Phillip Schofield – latest: Prince’s Trust drops ex-This Morning host as ITV faces questions from MPs

Phillip Schofield has been removed from The Prince’s Trust as an ambassador following his affair scandal with a younger colleague on This Morning.

The charity has said it is “no longer appropriate” to work with him.

Schofield was previously listed as an ambassador for the organisation, which was founded by King Charles III in 1976 to help disadvantaged people under 30 in the UK. The charity has many celebrity partners and goodwill ambassadors, including Fearne Cotton, Christine Lampard and Cheryl.

Piers Morgan has compared the This Morning scandal to Quentin Tarantino’s 1992 crime film Reservoir Dogs.

“I fear we’re now entering the Reservoir Dogs phase of the This Morning scandal… and it could end up with a lot of corpsed careers,” he wrote on Twitter.

The broadcaster also shared a message calling for “a lot more questions” to be asked on the channel.

Morgan’s views come as Phillip Schofield shared a statement on Instagram to hit out at “loud voices” who have criticised him and This Morning for its “toxicity”.

Jodie Marsh has belatedly responded to an old 2016 tweet from Phillip Schofield. Years ago, the disgraced presenter dissed the TV personality, writing: “Next time I’ll certainly check with @JodieMarsh that it’s ok to ask the questions she was booked to talk about!”

Now, Marsh has finally used the timing of Schofield’s recent scandals and ITV exit to her advantage.

“Unfortunately for you Phil there won’t be a next time. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer man,” she tweeted on Monday (29 May).

Eamonn Holmes has accused Phillip Schofield of “toxicity” amid the furore over the culture on ITV’s This Morning programme.

Schofield, 61, resigned from ITV on Friday and was dropped by his talent agency YMU after admitting to an “unwise, but not illegal” affair with a young male colleague on This Morning.

In the wake of his resignation, some former This Morning employees have come out to criticise the “toxic” culture at the broadcaster.

In a post on Instagram on Monday, Schofield hit back at the critics, saying that there was “no toxicity” on This Morning. “I hope you have noticed that it’s the same handful of people with a grudge against me or the show who seem to have the loudest voice,” he wrote.
