Calling his tenure as host of This Morning a “privilege” and revealing that, after a “abrupt end,” he had experienced “what it feels like to be cancelled.”
“It’s like the biggest grenade going off in your life, and you know you let people down, you’ve let yourself down, and it was unwise and [an] unprofessional thing to do, I will be forever sorry,
I screwed up, I made a mistake, and I hurt the people around me,” he said. One more scene from the first episode, nevertheless, has made headlines.
Holly Willoughby, Schofield’s former co-host and what the public saw to be her “on-screen wife,” seems to have made fun of her.
“Firstly, are you OK?” was the first question Willoughby asked in the opening segment of This Morning’s first broadcast after the revelation that Schofield was having a “unwise but not illegal” affair with a young colleague.
He says this over a cookout with his wife and two children early on in Cast Away: “If you’re OK, then we’re OK and I’m OK.”
