The editor of This Morning, Martin Frizzell, has made a thinly veiled dig at former presenter Phillip Schofield amid ongoing turmoil surrounding the ITV daytime show.
Frizzell, who has been at the helm of the programme since 2018, appeared to reference Schofield's dramatic exit last year when questioned about the show's recent controversies.
"We Just Get On With It"
Speaking to The Mirror, Frizzell said: "We just get on with it. We don't have to talk about what happened yesterday. We're too busy doing today's show and tomorrow's show."
The comments come as This Morning continues to face scrutiny following Schofield's departure after he admitted to an "unwise but not illegal" relationship with a younger male colleague.
Ongoing Fallout
Since Schofield's exit, the show has faced:
- Questions about workplace culture at ITV
- Viewer complaints about presenters' conduct
- Speculation about the future of the programme
Frizzell's remarks suggest the production team is keen to move forward, though the shadow of recent events continues to loom over the long-running show.
New Era for Daytime TV?
With Holly Willoughby also departing last year, This Morning now features a rotating lineup of presenters including Alison Hammond, Dermot O'Leary and Cat Deeley.
ITV maintains the show remains as popular as ever with viewers, though ratings suggest some audience erosion in the wake of the scandals.
