The next step would have been to get on the production team and he was angling towards that.“He should be having a good career in television right now, but because of this he’s not.

For someone who was determined to be famous, it’s quite striking.”The friend said he had spoken to the man, who told him he was now working in a B&B miles away and ‘hoped family and friends would visit’.The friend added: “It’s obviously been a big downfall."ITV have been approached for further comment on this story.Since news of the affair emerged, details of ‘preferential treatment’ that the young This Morning employee received during his affair with Schofield have since come to light.
