ITV must produce a transcript to prove Schofield investigation claim, says Eamonn Holmes

EAMONN Holmes has called on ITV bosses to provide a transcript to prove their claims that they carried out an investigation into the conduct of Phillip Schofield.

Commenting ahead of the evidence given today by Carolyn McCall, he said: “I suppose some of the areas she has to reassure people is, what is she like as regards protecting those who are vulnerable and the disciplinary procedures? They use all the usual nonsense and rubbish that they talk about, but they have to investigate.

“When they investigated and they asked Schofield did you have an affair with this guy, which is what they didn’t ask – I know exactly what they asked.

“And they then asked the young lad involved in all of this. They need a transcript of what actually took place that day, because that was not a thorough investigation.”

The GB News presenter added: “He [Schofield] is totally discredited. He’s admitted he’s lied to his colleagues, to the Daily Mail, to his family, his agents, to everyone. And yet, people are deaf to this.

“People sit and go, ‘poor Philip, what’s he going through? He’s been bullied’. He’s been this, he’s been that. The man has lied. He’s admitted he’s lied.

“And where do we go from here? Carolyn McCall, what did you do about it? Because she’s woke sensitive…she’s a very hands-on chief executive, but her hands are in all the wrong places it appears.”
