The accusations were published by MPs on the House of Commons culture select committee, which is looking into Phillip Schofield's scandalous resignation
This Morning and ITV have been hit with a fresh wave of accusations of bullying and discrimination. ITV staffers have claimed that when they attempted to raise concerns about This Morning they were faced with “further bullying and discrimination” by bosses for speaking out.
Schofield, 61, quit This Morning after reports surfaced about his crumbling friendship with Holly Willoughby, 42, and he later severed ties with ITV completely after admitting to an affair with a much younger male colleague. In a letter published on Wednesday, August 9, the House of Commons media committee chair Dame Caroline Dinenage revealed they received allegations of bullying and discrimination.
According to Dinenage, the workers affected allege their decision to raise concerns within ITV "has led to further bullying and discrimination, and in some cases having to leave the organisation with a settlement agreement". "It is easy to understand why those individuals, especially where they have left ITV and do not wish to relive their traumatic experiences, do not feel capable of attempting to report their concerns, or that ITV will take them seriously."
