Asked by Nicholson about the “dismissive and flippant” remarks, Brooke responded: “It was extremely ill-judged to say what he did. But I can reassure you on behalf of ITV that we do take all of these allegations very seriously, precisely because we do have a culture in which people’s conduct matters enormously.”
Even if Frizell were to quit, he and other senior ITV figures will be asked to give evidence to the external review, conducted by, made by former resident doctor Ranj Singh and who knew what and when about the Schofield affair.
