It seems Phillip Schofield’s career has suffered another blow amid the fallout of his ITV exit.
The This Morning presenter, 61, famously left the channel and stepped back from the spotlight earlier this year after admitting to lying about an affair with a much younger male colleague to colleagues and loved ones.
He described the relationship with the runner – who has not been named publicly – as ‘unwise but not illegal’ and later firmly denied accusations that he had ‘groomed’ the runner.
Phillip has only been seen in public a handful of times since his bombshell confession, previously admitting he doesn’t see a future for himself in TV.
Now, the former broadcaster has been axed from The Cube fan attraction in Manchester.
Phillip – who hosted the game show from the first episode in 2009 – previously appeared in a welcome video, explaining to visitors how the attraction worked.
Given that he was the face of the ITV programme, he played a key role in the fan experience, which opened in February last year.
However, according to Daily Star, bosses at The Cube Live chose to remove him in the wake of his scandal.
He has now been replaced by Colin McFarlane, who did voiceovers on the show.
An insider at the attraction said: ‘Phillip has been completely erased.
‘Bosses at The Cube Live don’t want to be associated with him in the light of recent events.’
This is far from the first project Phillip has been culled from amid the fallout of his affair, with him now totally wiped from the This Morning scene.

As well as being fired by his talent agency, Phillip also will not return for Dancing On Ice next year after his resignation, with an announcement imminent on who will replace him.
Meanwhile, an investigation has been underway into the circumstances surrounding Phillip’s ITV exit.
The investigation was also a result of past presenters and behind-the-scenes employees of ITV coming forward with allegations of toxicity and bullying.
MPs called for ITV bosses to address the serious claims, with the findings expected to be published shortly.
One person said to be complying with the whole thing is Holly, 42, who hosted This Morning alongside Phillip for over a decade.
With staff being questioned about what they knew by Jane Mulcahy KC, it’s said Holly has no secrets.
‘She has nothing to hide,’ one of her friends has said.
The presenter has also ‘fully complied and cooperated with everything that has been asked of her by the KC’.
The insider added to The Mirror: ‘Holly was more than happy to do what was asked of her, and explain her position, and what she knew, and what she didn’t.’
