Channel 4 Content Boss Criticizes Channel 5 For Failing To Challenge Phillip Schofield On ‘Cast Away’


Phillip Schofield Channel 5 show Cast Away has been criticized by Channel 4's Ian Katz for a lack of challenge.

Phillip Schofield ‘s swift return to TV on Channel 5 over the weekend has generated plenty headlines and the move has clearly dominated chatter at rival broadcasters. During the first ep, Schofield criticized the way he had been treated by his former ITV stablemates without challenge, including former co-host Holly Willoughby, with whom he was very close before his departure. Katz made the comments as Channel 4 revealed former Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Stormy Daniels, the former porn actress who has been embroiled in a legal dispute with Donald Trump, would appear on its U.S. election coverage next month.
