and what could itv have done about it?ot laying the blame there saying that they should have stepped in in certain points, but certainly questions, because there has certainly been a great deal of rumour and speculation about this and requirement now is some hard facts. in the longer interview he says there was a homophobic elements, but downplayed the power dynamic. it has been reported around stories about payoffs and nda. what were the answers eschenbach he said categorically no payoffs, no ndas, injunctions or super injunctions, categorically no. no ndas, injunctions or super but the question, of course, is would it be the same level of scrutiny and attention if it had been a 20 or 21—year—old woman rather than a man and he said there is clearly, he feels, some element of homophobia in this. he said that explicitly. the question also arises, how was it that this person arrived in the workplace in the first place? because he had a role in there being a work placement and this man getting a job in the first place. and it

but what about itv? they are facing questions as well. if there were any complaints from staff, if there was a whistleblower, how does itv as a corporation handle an issue like that?— issue like that? right, deep breath--- — issue like that? right, deep breath... firstly, _ issue like that? right, deep breath... firstly, are - issue like that? right, deep breath... firstly, are you i issue like that? right, deep l breath... firstly, are you ok? breath... firstly, are you 0k? while holly has been asking if the viewers are ok, they have had different questions. the head of itv will be asked about the scope and nature of its investigation and broadcasters workplace culture. just how much power do the stars wheeled?— wheeled? we know that broadcasting _ wheeled? we know that broadcasting attracts i wheeled? we know that i broadcasting attracts more wheeled? we know that - broadcasting attracts more than its fair share of these kind of gods of television who have an enormous amount of power, there is an imbalance of power, and we want to make

dame carolyn mccall, the boss of itv, is due to be questioned by mps next week.ews. there any chance phillip schofield might return to tv? 0ur media and arts correspondent david sillito gave us his assessment. watch for the first two minutes of the interview and you can't imagine him working in television again from this particular position he's in at the moment. he lied to his family, he lied to his employers, he lied to his agents. the initial moment when he said, "i'm going to step down from this morning," was because he said he had become the headline but when he reveals the relationship with a much younger man, itv brought the relationship to an end, he will not be presenting the british soap awards, he will not be presenting any more prime tv programmes with them. he is probably accurate when he says that his tv career is over. it's very hard to see where he comes back from now. this is not over as a story. meanwhile, the programme phillip schofield used to present — this morning — continues on the network. after showing the bbc�*s interview to viewers, his

itv said they were first aware of rumours in late 2019.that anything had happened and phillip schofield said, yes, i denied everything and i lied. this is not itv�*s responsibility. i did not tell the truth. there will still be questions about how it could happen. he was also questioned about the rumours out there about where their nondisclosure agreements and payoffs involved. how was the story secret for such a long time? this happened a few years ago. he said there were no nda is and no payoffs. i know of are up and simply the fact that he did not tell the truth about what had actually happened. but itv has an externally led review and investigation going on, and people will know want to know questions about it. you can see in the wider context of the media industry, is not the first time there have been questions about a very powerful tv figures. people at the top of the broadcasting empire, and they have enormous power. how do they wield it? and do people actually challenging them?- it? and do people actually challenging them? it? and

what are the questions now for itv? good evening. two weeks after standing down from his itv show this morning, and a week after revealing he had a relationship with a much younger male colleague, phillip schofield has apologised for what he called a grave error, and said that his career was now over, and he had lost everything. in his first broadcast interview since he quit itv, he said the relationship only began several years after his first meeting with the young man, who was then 15. mr schofield strongly denies grooming him, but says he regrets the relationship and lying about it when itv tried to investigate. he also said he believed that homophobia had fuelled the media coverage of events. he's been talking to amol rajan. phillip, come on in. good to see you. thank you. thanks for coming in. you've had quite the week, how are you? um, ithink... i understand how caroline flack felt. last week, if my daughters hadn't been there... ..then i wouldn't be here. and they've. .. ..guarded me. it's like a weird... ..numbness. you feel
