Who is Phillip Schofield?
Phillip Schofield rose to prominence in the late 80s and early 90s as a presenter on children’s television in the UK, often accompanied by his sidekick – a hand puppet named Gordon the Gopher.
Later, Schofield became the co-host of ITV’s long running morning show This Morning, most notably alongside Holly Willoughby, as well as the host of various Saturday night light entertainment programmes such as The Cube and Dancing on Ice.
In 2020, Scofield came out as gay and announced his separation from his wife of 27 years, giving an emotional interview with Willoughby on This Morning. In 2023, the presenter admitted that during his time on This Morning he had become involved in an extramarital affair with a younger co-worker whom Schofield had first met while he was a 15-year-old student, though the affair had not begun until the co-worker was 20-years-old.
Following this admission, Schofield resigned from This Morning and suggested that homophobia was a factor in the vitriol he faced from the public, famously calling the affair “unwise, but not illegal.” Phillip Schofield Cast Away marks Schofield’s first TV appearance since leaving the show.
