Alison Hammond has said she “loves” Phillip Schofield following him confessing to an affair with a young colleague.
The TV personality and presenter, who has been co-hosting This Morning following Schofield’s exit alongside Dermot O’Leary, appeared to be emotional won the show on Friday.
It comes after Schofield gave his first interviews following his departure from ITV to The Sun and the BBC in which the 61-year-old said he had “lost everything” and spoke about the “catastrophic effect” on his mind.
Appearing tearful, Hammond said: “I’m finding it really painful.
“I loved Phillip Schofield; it’s weird because I still love Phillip Schofield, however, what he’s done is wrong.
“He’s admitted it, he’s said sorry.
“As a family, we’re all really struggling to process everything – I never know what to say.
“I remember what my mum said, my mum always said ‘use your Bible as your satnav in life (Alison)’, and in the Bible it say ‘he without sin, casts the first stone’.
“I just don’t want to say anything bad because I’m in conflict.”
