The Prince's Trust drops Phillip Schofield from his role as an ambassador for the charity amid the ongoing scandal surrounding his This Morning exit.

Phillip Schofield has been dropped as an ambassador by The Prince's Trust amid the ongoing scandal surrounding his departure from This Morning.

Earlier this month the 61-year-old left the daytime show after serving for 21 years as host, then days later admitted to having had an affair with a much younger male colleague on the programme.

Questions continue to be asked about how much ITV knew about the relationship - Schofield has revealed that he did lie to his bosses about his liaisons - as the future of This Morning itself hangs in the balance.

Away from ITV, Schofield has worked with charity The Prince's Trust - set up by King Charles in the 1970s to help disadvantaged youths - for some time but he has now been removed from their website.

A spokesperson confirmed: "In light of Phillip's recent admissions, we have agreed with him that it is no longer appropriate to work together."

Schofield's adverts for a now-lapsed deal with WeBuyAnyCar.Com have also been taken down by the retailer.
