Phillip Schofield | Presenter's 'unwise' work relationship scandal shows the importance of robust HR policies

Whether you’re a fan of daytime TV or not, you can’t have missed the recent scandal embroiling Phillip Schofield and This Morning.

Schofield stepped down from hosting the daytime show last week after two decades as a presenter, as pressure grew following his admission of an affair with a much younger colleague while he was still married.

Schofield recently admitted in a statement: "I did have a consensual on-off relationship with a younger male colleague at This Morning.

"Contrary to speculation, whilst I met the man when he was a teenager and was asked to help him to get into television, it was only after he started to work on the show that it became more than just a friendship.
