The statement came as pressure grew on the network after fellow former This Morning presenter Eamonn Holmes claimed bosses “knew what sort of man” Schofield was following his admission he lied about an “unwise, but not illegal” extra-marital relationship.
ITV has said it investigated “rumours of a relationship” between Phillip Schofield and a younger employee – but the pair “repeatedly denied” the affair.
The statement came after questions were raised over what network bosses knew about the conduct of the veteran broadcaster.
Fellow former This Morning presenter Eamonn Holmes had said Schofield was “not the only guilty party” and claimed top management “knew what sort of man he was”.
Holmes spoke out after veteran broadcaster Schofield admitted having an “unwise, but not illegal” affair with a much younger male ITV employee while still married and lying about it.
Writing on Twitter, Holmes said: “Schofield has finally been caught out… But he’s not the only guilty party. 4 high members of ITV management knew what sort of man he was.”
