Given how little ITV has actually said about it, fans of This Morning may still be wondering why exactly Phillip Schofield has gone.

Yet for our columnist Michael Deacon, the presenter should have been given his marching orders more than a decade ago, when he was responsible for perhaps the most stupendously ill-judged piece of television of all time.

Happy reading!
