Runner shot This Morning showreel and interviewed Phillip Schofield
The runner who became
Phillip Schofield's lover filmed a showreel at the This Morning studios in a bid to launch himself as a TV personality.
The man, who the Mail is not identifying, interviewed Schofield himself in the reel, which sources say was 'made and paid for by
ITV', raising yet more questions for under-fire channel bosses who insist they knew nothing of the fling.
The video shows a closeness and ease between the pair, with the runner discussing 'singing in the shower'.
A senior ITV source said: 'This is quite extraordinary. It shows the extent of Schofield's influence that he could make this happen for someone so junior.
Everyone who allowed it to happen will have of course wondered why this was being done for a runner and what the relationship was between them.
'Of course it was all bought and paid for by ITV - it was filmed in the This Morning studios by the show's cameramen. It even starts with the This Morning music. I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw it.
'How many runners get access to the cameras, studio and main presenter? I'll tell you how many: none.'
The bombshell video again raises questions about who at ITV knew or suspected that the presenter was having what he called an 'unwise but not illegal' romance with a very junior colleague.
