‘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 source added when speaking to that: ‘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.’

how Mulcahy had been ‘talking to everyone involved’ as she investigates.
‘[She has] taken out phones and looking at every text we’ve sent, including emails and WhatsApps,’ he shared while speaking at the Edinburgh TV Festival.
When asked about how ITV handled its duty of care, Lygo said it took the responsibility ‘incredibly seriously’.
‘We haven’t got anything to hide and if we can adapt and change our process to make it better, then we should do it on a continuing basis,’ he added, as reported by Deadline.
‘The most important thing is to get facts and truth, not a hasty judgement.’
‘There is an enormous pressure these days from the press and social media saying, “you’ve got to decide” and “why didn’t you fire him?”, and you just think “well hang on a minute we don’t know what the truth is yet.”.’
He explained that ITV would ‘act accordingly’ once the outcome had been revealed.
Soon after Schofield admitted to lying about his affair to bosses and colleagues, ITV released a statement in which it said it felt ‘badly let down’ and ‘deeply disappointed’.
