Ex-This Morning star claims she was 'blacklisted' after talking about Phillip Schofield
Former This Morning panellist Clare Muldoon has accused ITV of “blacklisting” her after she spoke out about the Phillip Schofield scandal.
Muldoon made the bold claim during an interview with GB News, where she revealed that her comments about Schofield had allegedly led to her being shut out from future appearances on the hit daytime show.
Phillip Schofield, 62, left This Morning in disgrace last year after admitting he had lied about an affair with a younger male colleague.
While Schofield has since made a return to television on Channel 5, his dramatic fallout with former co-host Holly Willoughby has resurfaced.
According to reports, Schofield sent a fiery WhatsApp message to Willoughby, accusing her of betrayal.

“I’m now blacklisted from This Morning. They won’t have me on because of what I said—I spoke the truth,” Muldoon declared, claiming that ITV bosses have barred her from returning.
She added: "When all of this came out, I had a conversation with you," referring to fellow TV veteran Eamonn Holmes, who had also been vocal about the behind-the-scenes drama at the popular morning show.
Muldoon, known for her candid opinions, shared details of her past interactions with Schofield, and claimed he would steal her jokes before they went live.

“I’d find him… if I broke a joke before we went on air, he would laugh, and it’d be really funny because I’m quite a funny person,” Muldoon said.
“And then he would tell the joke. And I was like, really? That really annoys me, maybe I should do the joke right. There’s a lot of comedy on that programme.”
The commentator's accusations were met with support from Eamonn Holmes, who didn’t mince words when responding to Muldoon’s claim of being blacklisted.

He hinted that ITV’s top brass were responsible for the decision. "That’s down to the others, Martin Frizell and Emma Gormley," he remarked, referring to ITV’s senior executives.
“That’s down to them, and that’s a whole other story,” Eamonn added, implying there was more going on behind the scenes.
ITV, for its part, has maintained that it made “considerable efforts” to investigate the rumours surrounding Schofield’s affair back in 2019.
A review by Jane Mulcahy KC, released in December 2023, concluded that no solid evidence was found to substantiate the allegations at the time.
Schofield, who initially stayed silent, declined to participate in the review due to concerns about the impact on his mental health.
