Phillip Schofield has issued a grovelling apology to Holly Willoughby after lying to her about his affair on This Morning.
The former ITV presenter has broken his silence after revealing he had an affair with a younger male colleague on This Morning and admits he's 'broken and ashamed'. Phillip, 61, vehemently denied that Holly, 42, had any knowledge of the affair as he admits he's lost his best pal over his lies.
Speaking to The Sun, Phillip said: “I’ve lost my best friend. I let her down (Holly). I let that entire show down. I let the viewers down."
He continued: "Holly did not know (about the romance). And she was one of the first texts that I sent, to say, ‘I am so, so sorry that I lied to you’.
“She didn’t reply and I understand why she didn’t reply, as well. So yeah. If anyone is in any way linking Holly to this; that is absolutely, wholly untrue."
Phillip resigned from This Morning after reports emerged that he and Holly were 'barely speaking', before confessing to the affair at a later date. Speaking on his relationship with Holly, he said: “I had no feud with Holly. She is my TV sister.
"But quite rightly, when I am in the middle of a s**t show with bad press over something where I have done nothing wrong — in fact, I did everything right — it’s a witch hunt. And that strips that (friendship) away.
“Quite rightly, she is going to take a step back and think, ‘I have to step back from this’, and I understand that completely.
He added: “As we see now, this is a vicious game and the last thing you want is for something to stick on you. It was becoming bigger than the people we had on the show. I understand that.”
