Caroline Flack attending the National Television Awards 2019 held at the O2 Arena, London.

ITV bosses have refuted claims during a parliamentary hearing that the broadcaster treated late Love Island presenter Caroline Flack as a “commodity”.

Chief executive Carolyn McCall and managing director Kevin Lygo faced questions from MPs on Wednesday about former This Morning host Phillip Schofield’s exit from the programme during a Culture, Media and Sport Committee session, during which they were also questioned about ITV’s duty of care for its talent.
