‘This Morning’ Boss Martin Frizell Exits Controversy-Hit ITV Morning Show
'This Morning' boss Martin Frizell is exiting the ITV morning show after ten years.
It is the latest blow for 37-year-old magazine format show “This Morning,” which has suffered a series of controversies over the past 24 months after its long running anchors, Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, stepped down in quick succession. Tension between the two, who were not only longtime colleagues but close friends, finally reached a crescendo after Schofield admitted to having an affair with a young PA, a mistake he described as “unwise but not illegal,” ending his 20 year career at the show. After much handwringing, the duo were finally replaced by “So You Think You Can Dance” host Cat Deeley and “Good Morning Britain” anchor Ben Shephard in March of this year, leading to a slump in ratings.
