The chief executive of ITV has said she is “very concerned” for Philip Schofield’s welfare but stopped short of comparing his treatment by the media to that of the late Caroline Flack.
MPs investigating the broadcaster’s handling of the This Morning fallout asked Dame Carolyn McCall whether Mr Schofield was being “hounded” like the presenter who took her own life.
She responded: “I don’t want to make those comparisons although I would say I think he has been hounded.” Report by Buseld.

In their first interview, the parents of a sixteen-year-old boy who took his own life just hours after he was blackmailed by a scammer have told ITV News their "whole world has been shattered". Murray Dowey, 16, from Dunblane was contacted on social media by someone claiming to be a young girl but was actually a scammer, who tricked him into sending an intimate image and then blackmailed him with it. Sextortion, is when intimate images and/or videos are recorded and used for financial exploitation and coercion. It is mostly committed by organised criminal gangs overseas. Report by Covellm.

A secret audio recording obtained by ITV News has revealed Post Office boss Paula Vennells was told directly about problems with the Horizon system and warned not to cover them up. In a meeting with independent investigators from Second Sight on July 2, 2013, Ms Vennells was made aware of allegations that sub-postmaster branch accounts could be accessed remotely. This is something the Post Office had denied for years. She was also told by investigators that the company’s position in denying Horizon faults was both “dangerous” and "stupid", according to the recording. Report by Czubalam.
