Last week, if my daughters hadnt been there, I wouldnt be here, said Schofield.
Theyve been by my side every moment because theyre scared to let me out of their sight.
Its like a weird numbness.

Schofield detailed the situation with the runner who he had an affair with to Rajan.
A relationship began a few weeks later and Schofield stressed it was always consensual.
He had been working at the show for a few months and wed become mates, said Schofield.
I know it was unforgivable but we werent in a relationship, he added.
I was in a mess with my own sexuality at the time and it just happened.
Id been 41 years in TV and nothing like this had happened before.
Schofield said he is massively concerned about the runners welfare and the boy has not signed an NDA.
What he wants is for all this to go away, added Schofield.
The lie got too big for all of us.
It was growing and growing and growing and crossed over from online to mainstream news.
