Phillip Schofield has claimed that there is “no toxicity” on This Morning, insisting that “it’s the same handful of people with a grudge against me or the show”.
Amid a growing row over the culture of ITV’s flagship daytime chat show, the former presenter released a new statement on social media to dispute the latest claims.
Dr. Ranj Singh, This Morning’s former family doctor, lashed out at the show’s “toxic” culture, saying he raised concerns about “bullying and discrimination” two years ago, later finding he had been “managed” for whistleblowing.
However, Schofield, 61, posted on Instagram on Monday: “Now that I’m no longer working on This Morning, I’m free to say this.
“I hope you’ve noticed that it’s the same handful of people with a grudge against me or the show that seem to have the loudest voice.
“This Morning is the best show to work on, with the best people. In all the years I worked there, there was no toxicity.
“You can listen to those persistently loud voices if you want. But the thousands of guests over the years, thousands of staff and crew, hundreds of presenters and contributors all know it’s a family of amazing, talented, friendly, hard-working people.”
