Eamonn claimed Phil would take his former lover back to his £1million flat in an exclusive block within the studios at White City, in West London.
The pair would enter through an adjacent hotel to avoid any suspicions of their secret trysts, the paper reported.
On Friday Schofield admitted that he had lied about his relationship with the man, plunging ITV into meltdown and losing millions of pounds of sponsorship deals in the aftermath.

He also told how his wife Ruth Langsford is still in touch with Phil’s ex-lover, who he described as a “lovely fella”, but “life is tough” for him.
Holmes told his fellow GB News presenter Dan Wootton on Monday night (May 29) he had decided to stand up for ‘people who hadn’t got a voice’.
Speaking of the scandal engulfing ITV, he said: “It’s a total cover up. Those in authority had to know.
“They had to know what was going on and they thought they would dodge the bullet which they did and they do constantly.
“All I’m here to do is to speak for people who hadn’t got a voice… I’m speaking on behalf of them.”
The star also claimed that Phillip and the ITV employee would go out and enjoy “playtime” on Thursdays.
Eamonn claimed this would usually end with the man staying at his overnight at his £1million London abode.
The pair would then arrive to work the next day in separate cars, Eamonn claimed.
Eamonn said: “Usually on a Friday morning, because Thursday was playtime when he and Phillip would hit the town and then he obviously stayed overnight. There are records to show that he was brought in the next day separately in cars paid for by ITV.”
