ITV bosses furious over Phillip Schofield's claim that he would have been treated differently if his affair was with a woman - as he takes aim at the 'three s***s of showbiz' who betrayed him


ITV bosses are furious at Phillip Schofield 's claim that he would have been treated differently if he had had an affair with a woman rather than a man.

ITV's fury comes as Schofield also hints that he was fired from the network when in fact the first its chiefs learned of his departure was in statement to the Mail where he admitted the affair and said he left with immediate effect. Sources at the broadcaster also say that he chose to step back from presenting This Morning a fortnight before following a fall out with his former co-star Holly Willoughby. He also insisted that he has now quit television and doesn't want to make a return despite filming the three-part show for Channel 5 which sees him having to survive alone in Madagascar.
