Phillip Schofield ITV scandal
Since leaving ITV, Phillip has done two interviews – one with the BBC – and that’s it. Other than that, the former This Morning star has lain low, only taking to social media again very recently.
Edward Coram James, CEO of Go Up and PR expert has slammed ITV for their “knee-jerk” reaction to Phillip’s scandal last year.
He also claims that the broadcaster “need” Phillip back amid reports of This Morning’s ratings falling.
“If they [ITV] are to stand even the slightest chance of remaining relevant, they will need all of the help and pulling power that they can get. Schofield has always proven himself to be popular. He’s now proven himself to be flexible and disciplined,” he told The Mirror.
