Phillip Schofield and his former lover were spotted together on stage when This Morning won at the National Television Awards.
The former ITV presenter, 61, was snapped looking over his shoulder in the direction of the younger male runner at the glitzy annual award show.
Phillip was surrounded by his This Morning colleagues and appeared to be smiling at the runner while his former This Morning co-star Holly Willoughby was giving her winning speech.

It comes after Phillip admitted to having an affair with the ITV employee while still married to his wife Stephanie Lowe and lying to her, his friends and colleagues about it.

In his statement on Friday (May 26), the broadcaster insisted he was “deeply sorry” for the on-and-off affair with the runner which was “unwise but not illegal.”
He’s also left ITV altogether as well as his management team YMU.
It’s been claimed that junior staff such as runners do not usually appear on the stage to collect awards as stage spots are usually reserved for on-screen stars and senior producers.

An alleged former ITV Daytime production member told The Sun: “He was on stage at the NTAs. Usually that’s something that only the presenters and most senior execs get to do.
“Most crew are either at the back of the arena or even watching the ceremony at another bar. It was all very odd.”
In Phil’s statement, he said: “He said: “I did have a consensual on-off relationship with a younger male colleague at This Morning.

“Contrary to speculation, whilst I met the man when he was a teenager and was asked to help him to get into television, it was only after he started to work on the show that it became more than just a friendship.”
He added: “That relationship was unwise, but not illegal. It is now over.”
