PHILLIP Schofield returns to TV tonight 16 months after he was fired from This Morning over what he called an “unwise, but not illegal” affair.
The 62-year-old, who stopped presenting the ITV daytime show in May 2023 after 21 years, appears in a Channel 5 special called Cast Away, which follows a celebrity stranded on an island off the coast of Madagascar for 10 days.
Schofield reveals on his new show how there are parts of TV he does not miss as he makes a string of jibes at his former This Morning co-host Holly Willoughby.
In another scene he appears to sever ties with his former employers ITV, where he worked for decades on a string of shows including Dancing On Ice.
The show also sees him address his fling with a much younger runner.
The presenter openly admits: “It was an unwise and unprofessional thing to do, I will be forever sorry.”
Holly — who is never mentioned by name — is not the only target in the programme, which will run over three consecutive nights this week from Monday to Wednesday at 9pm.
