Ex-This Morning presenter Phillip Schofield fears he will never work again
Top showbiz agent Jonathan Shalit told GB News that Schofield could be back on screens
But Jonathan Shalit, chairman of showbiz agency InterTalent, whose clients include the show’s former host Eamonn Holmes, told GB News Phillip could be back on screens.
He said: “The most important thing is Phillip hasn’t broken the law.
“Today is a very dark day and the last few weeks have been very tough for him.”
Referencing another ITV scandal in 2019, when The Jeremy Kyle Show was cancelled following the suicide of a recent guest, he added: “I think the one thing [Phillip] should hold on to is that time heals.
“Look at Jeremy Kyle, when that terrible thing happened on his show.
“He was out for a while and now he’s working.
“People do come back.”
He also said there is no reason Holly Willoughby’s career should be affected.
Shalit explained: “She’s made absolutely clear she didn’t know and there’s no way to show she didn’t know so therefore, you’re innocent until proven guilty.
“She’s one of Britain’s best broadcasters.
“ I don’t represent her so I can say that objectively.”
“She’s very experienced and she will come back and continue as long as she wants.”
