Phillip Schofield

Phillip Bryan Schofield (SKOH-field) is an English television presenter. He began his career as a Children's BBC continuity announcer from 1985 to 1987, and went on to present a wide range of high-profile programmes for the BBC and ITV, including Going Live! (1987–1993), This Morning (2002–2023), Dancing on Ice (2006–2014, 2018–2023), All Star Mr & Mrs (2008–2016), and The Cube (2009–2015, 2020–2021). In February 2020, Schofield came out as gay and separated from his wife of 27 years. In May 2023, he admitted that, Schofield was involved in a scandal, admitting that, before leaving his wife, he had carried on an extramarital affair with a much younger male ITV co-worker and had lied about it to ITV's management, his work colleagues, his lawyers, his agents and his friends and family. Amid extensive media coverage, Schofield resigned from ITV, was removed as an ambassador for the Prince's Trust, and was dropped by the talent agency that had represented him for over 35 years. In subsequent interviews, he said his career was over and described himself as "utterly broken".
