Phillip Schofield: ITV To Publish “Talent Charter” For Presenters But Long-Awaited Review Finds No Evidence Of “Toxic Culture” On ‘This Morning’

deadline.com:

ITV is to publish a talent “charter” setting out key standards expected from its high-profile presenters following the publication of the long-awaited Phillip Schofield review, which rejected the notion that there was a “toxic culture” on This Morning and that ITV knew anything of his affair.

Led by Jane Mulcahy KC, the review made several recommendations following the Schofield scandal that led to his resignation, but denied there was a “toxic culture” on the show he had been helming for years.

Schofield resigned from This Morning in disgrace in May and was dropped by his agency YMU after admitting to a years-long affair with a much younger colleague.

Soon after, ITV instructed Mulcahy to review the facts around Schofield following his departure. ITV bosses had been grilled by the UK’s Culture, Media & Sport Committee but denied any hard evidence was ever provided about the affair.
