Martin Frizell announces podcast after This Morning exit

Martin Frizell, former editor of ITV's This Morning, has announced his return to broadcasting with a new podcast titled This Much Is True Crime. Frizell, who stepped down in November to care for his wife Fiona Phillips, who has Alzheimer's, will co-host the podcast with criminologist Professor David Wilson, exploring notorious crimes. Although no official release date has been set, Frizell teased the podcast's content on Instagram, hinting at a focus on high-profile cases such as 'Gone Girls.' He expressed the need to prioritize family during his previous departure, stating it was a commitment he could no longer manage alongside his family obligations. Frizell's announcement comes as Vivek Sharma steps into his former role at This Morning. The podcast aims to discuss headline-making crimes, combining elements of investigation and psychological insight.
