Reports have recently surfaced that an ITV producer from This Morning had an inappropriate relationship with a TV show contestant. The alleged affair occurred while a spin-off holiday dating segment was being filmed in Barbados. The member of staff in question has since quit.
A source told The Sun, “Bosses were furious when it came to their attention that a producer had an affair with the contestant, especially in light of this year’s This Morning scandal and controversy. It meant that there was another investigation into what happened in Barbados that had to be carried out. It was disappointing to senior members of staff. The producer promptly resigned.”
An ITV spokesperson told the publication that they are unable to comment on the specifics of any employment-related matters.
This news comes months after Phillip Schofield admitted to lying about having an affair with a younger runner on This Morning before he stepped down as co-host. In October, ITV issued a warning to members of staff about their friendships and relationships in light of the controversy. The document read, “If a personal relationship exists between you and another colleague, both parties must disclose this to the company at the earliest opportunity.” An ITV spokesperson later told The Agency that the policy was reviewed and updated in October 2023.
The Agency has reached out to ITV for comment.
