Inside Phillip Schofield's 'year from hell' - and why his wife Steph will always be his 'rock'

ok.co.uk:

It's been almost one whole year since Phillip Schofield, in his own words, "lost everything" following his affair with a younger male colleague during his time on This Morning.The TV presenter soon sensationally quit This Morning after 21 years of fronting the show and released a statement that said: "I have agreed to step down from This Morning with immediate effect, in the hope that the show can move forward to a bright future." Now, as the anniversary looms since that fateful period, Phillip is reportedly still adjusting to a new life ahead of him, following what was a year from hell. "Phillip will obviously be aware of the anniversary date coming up," a source told OK!. "His life has changed so much since that time he’s lost so much professionally, personally and also financially.

He was the King of Daytime TV and This Morning was such a huge part of his life for such a long time, it takes time to adjust to not having that." In May last year, not only did Phillip step away from the daytime show he'd been a part of since 2002, but there were also rumours of a "fall-out" between the 62 year old and his co-presenter Holly Willoughby, 42.

At the time, there was talk of tension on-set as the once-close pals were said to have been "barely speaking" once the cameras stop rolling.They put on a united front but Phillip later admitted things weren't the same between the pair.
