THE story of Phillip Schofield’s fling with a young runner on This Morning is being made into a TV series, we can reveal.
Work has begun on the “jaw- dropping” drama chronicling Schofield’s affair which culminated in his exit from the ITV daytime show.
A source said the series – working title The Runner – would “mirror how the scandal unfolded” to the point Schofield, 61, quit in May after 21 years as host.
It would include how he lied to his co-presenter Holly Willoughby, 42, show bosses and management company YMU about his extra-marital relationship.
The source said: “A production company’s started work and they think the series would be a perfect fit for Channel 4.
