Phillip Schofield has said he understands 'how Caroline Flack felt' in a bombshell interview with the BBC. The former This Morning star spoke to the broadcaster's media editor Amol Rajan after he admitted to having an 'unwise but not illegal' affair with a 'much younger' ITV colleague last week.

Phillip was dropped by both ITV and his talent agency YMU and said he has since 'lost everything'. Love Island host Caroline was found dead in February 2020 at the age of 40, and a coroner later ruled she took her own life after learning that prosecutors were going to press ahead with an assault charge following an incident with her boyfriend Lewis Burton.

And they’ve guarded me and won’t let me out of their sight, it’s like a weird numbness. “I know that’s a selfish point of view.

But you come to a point where you just think, how much are you supposed to take? If all of those people that write all that stuff, do they ever think that there’s actually a person at the other end?”.
