PHILLIP Schofield has been seen for the first time since he confessed to an affair with a “much younger” ITV worker.
The This Morning presenter, 61, sensationally left the show last week after revealing he had an affair with the male employee.
The star, who was married at the time, branded the relationship "unwise but not illegal".
His admission catapulted the show into chaos – and has left his 40-year career in tatters.
Today he was spotted for the first time since his admission in the back of a cab alongside his daughter Ruby.
The pair sat together while being driven by his ITV driver.

Schofield initially left the show he'd been presenting for 21 years over a growing feud with pal and co-star Holly Willoughby.
His departure was also fuelled by his brother Tim being outed as a peado.
Just six days later, he made a bombshell revelation about the "consensual on-off relationship" – leaving him no choice but to quit ITV altogether.
ITV said no one employed on the daytime show knew of the affair as Schofield "lied" to everyone.

However, The Sun revealed Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary are to be quizzed along with Holly and the rest of the show’s presenting roster.
Other stars who have worked on the ITV show — including Eamonn Holmes, Ruth Langsford and Dr Ranj Singh — will also be called to give statements to an independent barrister.
The move came after the broadcaster was forced to deny it had made mistakes in an internal review in 2020 into the ex-host’s relationship.
A source said: “Holly, Alison and Ruth — who is still close with the young man — will all be quizzed, as well as others who worked on This Morning or Loose Women during the time of Phil’s affair.
“No matter how big the celebrity, they will be asked to speak and provide evidence.
“Eamonn Holmes, who has been very vocal, will also be asked to provide evidence.
“No stone will be left unturned.”
