About this deal

The most recent brand to remove Phil, is the Craft Gin Club, a company which previously worked with him to produce his very own Gin Blog, advent calendar and even Schofe’s Winter and Christmas gins. After news emerged of Schofield's This Morning resignation, ITV’s managing director of media and entertainment, Kevin Lygo, described the 61-year-old as “hands down one of the best broadcasters of his generation”. He went on to thank him for “terrific” TV and “looked forward” to working with him again. He denied that a superinjunction had been issued by him, or on his behalf, regarding the relationship.

The presenter added: “I am painfully conscious that I have lied to my employers at ITV, to my colleagues and friends, to my agents, to the media and therefore the public, and most importantly of all to my family. I am so very, very sorry, as I am for having been unfaithful to my wife.” However this now all appears to have changed, with all mentions of the star having since been removed.

We see Phillip delivering a monthly gin box dressed as Santa to a verySeveral media figures and ex-employees of This Morning, such as Eamonn Holmes and Dr Ranj Singh have made allegations following Schofield’s resignation. Holmes, who left the show in December 2021, said he was "tossed out the door" when ITV bosses decided it was time to cut him loose. The first thing I want to say is: I am deeply sorry for having lied to them (the Daily Mail), and to many others about a relationship that I had with someone working on This Morning,” he said. “I did have a consensual on-off relationship with a younger male colleague at This Morning.” Alex Petrogiannis, marketing director at Craft Gin Club said on the partnership: “Phillip has been praising our boxes on his social media for over a year so it’s truly exciting to officially welcome him as our brand ambassador. He’s such a natural fit for Craft Gin Club.” Last November, when Phillip attended the one-off An Audience with Adele concert, he brought Stephanie along with him, and later that month the pair were snapped walking hand-in-hand with one another.

For over 20 years, Phillip Schofield had been a dedicated patron of the charity and used to host a clay pigeon shoot every year to help raise vital funds of the hospice. In a statement, ITV added: “Phillip’s statement yesterday reveals that he lied to people at ITV, from senior management to fellow presenters, to YMU, to the media and to others over this relationship.”They said: “We have already planned the majority of our Christmas range for 2023 and it does not include the Phillip Schofield food range. I am painfully conscious that I have lied to my employers at ITV, to my colleagues and friends, to my agents, to the media and therefore the public and most importantly of all to my family. There was even previously a quote from Phil himself which read: “I am very pleased to support the Royal Voluntary Service. The work of the charity makes a real difference to the lives of older people in this country.”

A spokesperson from the charity explained: “In light of Phillip’s recent admissions, we have agreed with him that it is no longer appropriate to work together.” Craft Gin Club ITV can confirm that when rumours of a relationship between Phillip Schofield and an employee of ITV first began to circulate in early 2020 ITV investigated”, the statement read. “Both parties were questioned and both categorically and repeatedly denied the rumours as did Phillip’s then agency YMU. Shortly after admitting the affair, he was dropped by his talent agency YMU and on Tuesday, he had been stripped of his Prince’s Trust. ambassador role. So what happens next for Schofield and This Morning? The presenter went on to say: "When I chose to come out I did so entirely for my own wellbeing. Nobody 'forced' me out.Another of Phil’s charitable partnerships was with Surrey based children’s charity, Shooting Star Hospice. Schofield revealed the affair after he announced he was stepping down from presenting the ITV talk show with “immediate effect” last weekend while co-presenter Holly Willoughby will remain on the programme. Schofield, who also co-hosted Dancing On Ice with Willoughby, said he would also step down from presenting the British Soap Awards, his last public commitment.
