“We do not recognise a toxic culture at This Morning,” ITV boss Carolyn McCall has said bullishly during her committee hearing on the Phillip Schofield affair.
The CEO said she has “tangible evidence” that the vast majority of people working on the show and on ITV’s roster of daytime programs “are extremely engaged and very motivated.” She was responding to a barrage of questions relating to toxicity on This Morning since former host Schofield resigned in disgrace after admitting he had an affair with a much younger runner over a period of years.
The runner is not being named but referred to as Person X. “We do not recognise a toxic culture at This Morning,” said McCall. “[The accusations] deeply disappoints me.” McCall said she has had two complaints about issues of toxicity on This Morning during her ITV stint, one of which was private and the other publicly disclosed by former contributor Ranj Singh, which was not upheld.
Singh has taken his issues to Twitter over the past weeks since the Schofield affair spilled out into the open. McCall provided survey results of ITV daytime shows stating that 89% of people were proud to work at ITV, 86% would recommend ITV daytime as a “great place to work” and 80% were happy with how they were managed.
