LONDON — Executives at Britain’s ITV defended the broadcaster’s working culture Wednesday as a committee of lawmakers grilled them about the way the network handled staff complaints and allegations of a “toxic,” bullying work environment. Asked about Schofield, 61, and the younger colleague, who was not named, McCall denied that ITV turned a blind eye to what she called a “deeply inappropriate” relationship. She added that there were only two complaints in five years about bullying or harassment related to Schofield’s show, “This Morning,” and that both were taken seriously.
The parliamentary committee’s chair, Caroline Dinenage, said ITV clearly needed to rebuild trust with its staff and viewers and ensure it was a welcoming workplace.
