In what seems to be a classic Friday afternoon news dump, under fire UK presenter Phillip Schofield has been ditched by his agency of 35 years, YMU.
Mary Bekhait, the Group CEO of YMU Group, said:
“Honesty and integrity are core values for YMU’s whole business, defining everything
we do. Talent management is a relationship based entirely on trust.
“This week, we have learned important new information about our client Phillip
Schofield. These facts contradicted what Phillip had previously told YMU, as well as
the external advisors we had brought in to support him.
“As a result, on Thursday we agreed to part company with Phillip, with immediate
effect.”
“It is with the most profound regret that after 35 years of being faultlessly managed by YMU I have agreed to step down from their representation with immediate effect.”
