Phillip’s career spectacularly imploded earlier this year when he confessed to an ‘unwise, but not illegal’ extramarital affair with a much younger male colleague
Phillip Schofield’s explosive affair behind the scenes of This Morning looks set to be dragged back into the spotlight as a production company are planning to turn the drama into a television show.
The 61-year-old presenter sensationally quit This Morning back in May amid growing reports of tension between him and co-star Holly Willoughby – with back stage arguments overshadowing the show itself and Phillip quitting in an effort to save the reputation of the show as it was being muddied by the backstage drama. However, just days later he sensationally cut ties with ITV altogether and was dumped by his management team when he finally admitted to having an âunwise but not illegal’ affair with a much younger male colleague behind-the-scenes of the award winning show.
Phil claimed he had lied to his colleagues about the affair – and that he had apologised to Holly directly via text for not being honest with her and she allegedly never responded to his message. Now the affair and implosion of Phil’s career is to be transformed into a new TV drama.
According to The Sun, deep details of Phil’s “unwise” affair will play out in the proposed drama, giving TV fans a new perspective on the scandal. A source said: “A production company’s started work and they think the series would be a perfect fit for Channel 4. The storyline will reflect what went on. People have seen it from the outside but the drama will give a perspective on what may have occurred behind-closed-doors. It could make for uncomfortable viewing for Phil and ITV.”
