Phillip Schofield 'could be set' for Talk TV job after ITV exit

Former This Morning presenter Phillip Schofield could be set for a swift return to our television screens, according to national reports. The veteran host quit his ITV career after admitting to an affair with a younger male colleague at This Morning.

In an interview with The Sun just days after releasing his own statement, Phillip said he felt his career 'was over', adding: "I have lost everything". But in an interview with the Daily Star, Andy Barr, CEO of 10 Yetis Digital, said he felt that TalkTV could be the "perfect" place for Phillip to restart his career, The Express reports.

He said: "TalkTV could be the career rebuilding platform that Schofield needs right now. If the current media spotlight reveals no new allegations then this is entirely recoverable for him.

"And TalkTV could be the perfect place for him to start again in a high-profile media environment." He also explained that Phillip should take some time out of the spotlight to protect his mental health but the move to TalkTV could be good for him and his return.

Andy added: "I think the public will expect him to have a career break before announcing his comeback. Not least so that he can protect his mental health and get any and all the support that he needs from those around him."

Express.co.uk has contacted TalkTV for a comment.
