Following the revelation, Phillip was left suicidal as his daughters Molly and Ruby looked after him.

But now the star returns to screens to tell his version of the story in Channel 5’s Cast Away.

During the show – which kicks off at 9pm and airs over three nights this week – Schofe reveals how a simple act of kindness from a stranger helped him while we experienced suicidal thoughts.

He had locked himself away at home while suffering with his mental health when his mum became ill, forcing him to leave and visit her in Cornwall.

Phillip explained: “I walked into the reception of the hospital and a big guy with a big red face and big arms and tattoos and I walked into reception trying to find where the intensive care unit was.

“This guy said ‘Schofield’ and I said ‘yeah’ and I thought ‘oh s**t’ and he said ‘can I give you a hug mate?’ and I said ‘actually do you know you can’ and he gave me a massive, massive hug and said ‘they’re all s***s mate they’re all s***s’.”

Phillip also revealed his health deteriorated so badly he had planned to end his life.

In emotional scenes, he recalls: “A year ago I got so close. I had everything in place, everything was set up and everything was ready…

“Molly and Ruby [were] both looking after me at the time and Molly said ‘do you imagine what this would do to us if you actually managed to pull this off?’

“And that was just enough, just enough to take a step back from the edge. 

“I could have been hospitalised. I had the option to be. hospitalised but then I thought that is going to get out. So I just raced back to the family home and shut the gates and I was in there.'”

The Sun first revealed how Schofield was returning to television – 16 months after the scandal first broke.

We also told how Phillip blasts “three three s**ts in showbiz’ while on a remote island for Cast Away.

Speaking about his 40-year career, he says: “They know how important that was to me.

“They know when you throw someone under a bus, you’ve got to have a really bloody good reason to do it. Brand, ambition is not good enough.”

Phil added: “People can be fake. They can be so fake with you when it’s all going well, and suddenly utter, utter betrayal.”

The order does not necessarily mean that Israeli troops will invade Lebanon immediately. Areas can also be declared closed military zones if an imminent threat is detected.

A CAR owner has been hit with a $4,000 repair bill when she noticed her engine began making sputtering sounds.

Heather Velasco was heading out to lunch with one of her coworkers when she noticed a strong gasoline smell in the area where she parked her Toyota on September 19.

Velasco had parked her pick-up truck outside Kindred Hospital in Rancho Cucamonga, California, just west of San Bernardino.

However, Velasco immediately pushed her concerns aside when she noticed a diesel truck nearby and believed the gasoline smell emanating from there.

But, when she got in her truck and began driving, her new Toyota, which she had purchased three years before, began making sputtering sounds.

“We drove across the street, and my car started sputtering,” Velasco told KTLA.

When she pulled over and began inspecting her vehicle, Velasco said she noticed her truck was leaking gas from underneath.

“I just looked under, and sure enough, there was a hole, and it was leaking gas, and then I looked up, and I saw another hole,” the mother of three said.

Velasco had to get her vehicle towed and was forced to pay $4,000 upfront or risk paying a $1,000 deductible with an increase in her auto insurance.

“It’s hard times. We’re living in times where everything is inflated,” she told KTLA.

“Trying to raise a family and trying to do things right.

“You’re not getting anywhere because you got these criminals on the run, and they’re just doing whatever they want.”

Velasco said her fuel tank cap was also damaged.

She reported the incident to police, who told the outlet that they had seen several cases of car siphoning in the Upland area.

Reports of car siphoning normally increase when prices of gasoline spike or when the economy is shaky, Inland police said.

In 2008, police were engulfed by a spike in car siphoning from residential cars, mobile homes, boats, and businesses, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Velasco is now concerned and more cautious about where she parks her vehicle.

“We should be able to go in, clock in, and feel like your stuff is safe out there,” she added.

Police advised concerned car owners to be aware of where they parked their vehicles and urged them to invest in an active car alarm system to deter thieves.

Car owners were also advised to park near a location with a known security camera presence.

“If you have access to it, park in a secure location like a garage or gates, then that would be best,” Upland police Sergeant Eric DiVincenzo told KTLA.

“But otherwise, parking underneath a lit area [would be as helpful].”
