This Morning has come under fire following Phillip Schofield’s confession that he lied about his affair with a younger male colleague - and we want to know what YOU think.

ITV chiefs are battling to save the breakfast show amid fears it has been “tarnished beyond repair” by Schofield’s shocking confession on Friday.

It comes after ITV bosses claimed they held a 2020 investigation into rumours of a relationship between Schofield and the production assistant - which both men denied.They added that multiple staff failed to provide evidence of the affair “beyond hearsay and rumour”, so no further action was taken.

A source told the Mirror: “The next few weeks will be a desperate bid to save the show – and the jobs of the execs. Fingers are being pointed at the top brass, even though he admitted he lied to all of them. “The show’s wholesome image is clearly tarnished, but bullish ITV execs are not going to just throw the baby out with the bath water.” ITV’s chief executive Carolyn McCall, its daytime managing director Emma Gormley and editor of This Morning Martin Frizell faced calls for the show to be axed at the weekend, with staff reportedly fearing it could be “rested”, or pulled entirely.
