In a bombastic statement, Schofield apologized to his representatives, employers and his legal team for lying to them – admitting: “The first thing I want to say is that I am deeply sorry that I lost her and many lied to others about my relationship.” with someone who works on This Morning.
And Mary Bekhait, Group CEO of YMU Group, Schofield’s agency, said: “Honesty and integrity are core values throughout YMU’s business and guide everything we do.
“Talent management is a relationship based solely on trust.
“This week we learned important new information about our client Phillip Schofield.
“These facts contradicted what Phillip had previously shared with YMU and also with the outside consultants we had engaged to assist him. So on Thursday we agreed to part ways with Phillip with immediate effect.”
The ITV star – who has been married to Stephanie Lowe for 30 years – confessed to an affair with a younger man this afternoon.

Schofield was just removed from This Morning last week after sparking speculation about a feud with co-host Holly Willoughby.
This comes after his brother Tim Schofield was jailed after being found guilty of “emotionally blackmailing” a teenager into engaging in sexual activity and forcing him to watch porn.
Timothy Schofield, 54, committed a series of sexual offenses – the most serious of which involved allegedly having sex with the boy.
And he was sentenced to 12 years in prison on May 19 for the heinous child crimes.
The next day it was confirmed that his brother Phillip had been dropped from ITV.
Phil made no mention of Holly in a statement announcing his surprise departure.
The bosses had concluded the situation was useless after significant tensions arose between them on-screen that caused the show to lose 170,000 viewers.
