It’s been a few months since Phillip Schofield left This Morning and ITV following his affair confession.
In May, Phil admitted to having an “unwise but not illegal” affair with a younger male This Morning colleague. He admitted to lying to those around him about the relationship, including his ITV bosses and his co-host and friend Holly Willoughby.
Since then, Phil hasn’t been seen much in public and has received much criticism online. However, it seems the presenter still has a good amount of support behind him and these messages prove so.
Phillip Schofield support after This Morning and ITV exit
The star was recently seen out as he broke cover after weeks out of the spotlight. He was seen enjoying a dinner with his former This Morning co-star Vanessa Feltz.
He was also recently seen at a London pub with a friend. A source claimed that Phil fears he’ll never return to work again. The insider told the MailOnline: “Phillip has been very, very down recently. He doesn’t know how he is going to work again. He is pretty sure that he is done.”
The star added: He keeps saying he will never work again. It’s devastating for him to realise but he also knows that there is not a lot he can do about it. He doesn’t know who will take him, he knows there is no way back to ITV or the BBC.”
