Phillip Schofield issued a health update as he hosted This Morning with a “croaky voice” today (November 29).
The 59-year-old presenter returned to the ITV programme alongside co-host Holly Willoughby on Monday.
However, Phillip didn’t sound like his usual self.

Phillip addressed his health ahead of unveiling the show’s incredible Christmas display.
In the show’s first moments, Holly joked: “Don’t panic, we haven’t changed his voice to protect his identity.”
Phillip responded: “I’m fine.”

Holly added: “What’s going on with you?”
He explained: “I have been fully tested. I feel amazingly good, but I have a touch of laryngitis.”
His co-star commented: “So you’re just gonna sound kind of sexy actually? Sounds quite good doesn’t it!”
Phillip continued: “I just sound a little croaky today. Anyway I feel fine, I’m just a bit croaky.”
However, it didn’t stop the star from hosting today’s show.
Phillip and Holly later went on to unveil the programme’s Christmas display.
