Now, amid claims that she has returned to her Cornwall home following a hospital stay, the reason she was hospitalised had allegedly been revealed.
Phillip Schofield news: Reason for mum Pat’s hospitalisation ‘revealed’
Pat, 87, has had a lot to deal with in recent months. As well as Phillip‘s affair and departure from This Morning, his brother was also jailed for child sex offences.
And it’s the latter that is thought to have contributed to Pat’s hospital stay.
She has been under so much stress lately. It is a lot for anyone, let alone someone of her age.
An insider alleged to the Daily Mail that Phil is planning to stay at the family home in Newquay for the foreseeable future as Pat recuperates. They also claimed that she was hospitalised over the weekend following the strain of Timothy Schofield’s sex conviction. It’s said it all became too much for her.
The source claimed: “It’s a relief for everyone that Pat is home, it has been a terribly torrid time for her. She has been under so much stress lately. It is a lot for anyone, let alone someone of her age.”

They added that Phillip is putting his mother before himself and his own problems. “Phillip is playing the dutiful son and is planning to spend time in Cornwall caring for her,” they then added.

Phillip’s rep told ED!: “Phillip has asked that his and his mother’s privacy be respected at this difficult time.”
