Schofield stunt is wrong, says ITV chief

ITV’s director of television has admitted Phillip Schofield was “wrong” in confronting David Cameron with a list of alleged paedophiles on live TV, adding that the action was “misguided”.

In an interview on ITV News, Peter Fincham said that he would be responding to letters from Lord McAlpine and Tory MP John Whittingdale “very quickly”.

TV regulator Ofcom has received 415 complaints about last week’s incident and has launched an investigation into it.
