On Cast Away, the former presenter says he was let go due to the bad press generated by his sibling’s child sex offences
Phillip Schofield has blamed his brother for his departure from ITV, saying he was “fired for someone else’s crime”.
In the final episode of Channel 5’s Phillip Schofield: Cast Away, the 62-year-old former This Morning presenter said he had always been “open and honest with everyone at work about what was happening” with his 54-year-old brother, Timothy, who was convicted in April 2023 of 11 sexual offences involving a child between October 2016 and October 2019, including two of sexual activity with a child.
