Learn more about the controversy, Piers’ plea for an end to the persecution, and Phillip’s emotional interviews with the BBC and The Sun.
In a series of bombshell interviews, Phillip Schofield, co-host of This Morning, revealed his involvement in a controversial affair with a younger male production runner. Amid the scrutiny surrounding the revelation, outspoken broadcaster Piers Morgan has come to Phillip’s defense, calling for an end to the relentless persecution. Piers expressed his support on Twitter, emphasizing that unless Phillip’s ex-lover contradicts his account, it’s time to cease the continuous judgment. Notably, Piers had previously shown solidarity with Phillip’s former co-host, Holly Willoughby.
While some people agree with Piers’ plea, suggesting that Phillip should face the questions and move forward, others disagree, feeling that the media coverage has escalated to disproportionate levels. However, critics pointed out Piers’ own controversial past, including his involvement in the Megan Markle witch hunt, which led to his departure from Good Morning Britain.
