This Morning nominated for National Television Award following Phillip Schofield scandal
ok.co.ukThis Morning has been nominated for best daytime show at the National Television Awards 2023 despite the furore over the Phillip Schofield affair.
Phillip, 61, resigned from ITV and was dropped by his talent agency YMU in May after admitting to an “unwise but not illegal” relationship with a younger male colleague on the show.
Holly Willoughby, who hosted alongside him from 2009 onwards, has continued to present the show with a series of co-stars including Alison Hammond and Josie Gibson, while MPs have called on ITV bosses to address claims of toxicity and bullying behind the scenes.The show will defend its title in the daytime category against The Chase, Loose Women and The Repair Shop.
