This Morning presenter Alison Hammond became emotional as she said she “still loves Phillip Schofield” following the revelations about his affair with a younger male colleague.

Hammond was speaking on the ITV morning show when she said had been “finding it really painful” after Schofield spoke publicly about the affair.

She added: “However, what he has done is wrong. He’s admitted it, he’s said sorry.

“As a family we’re really struggling to process everything.”

Hammond now presents the show alongside Dermot O’Leary after Schofield stepped down following revelations about his affair with a man who he first met when he was 15.

Schofield says he was not in a relationship with him until the man was 20 years old.
