Phillip Schofield gets surprise birthday presents from a Hollywood star

And they suit his personality perfectly!

Phillip Schofield turns 56 on Sunday (yes, really!), and being such a popular chap, he’s sure to get lots of presents.

But we wonder if any will be more unexpected than the ones he received from Hollywood legend Susan Sarandon!

Thelma & Louise star Susan, 71, had previously promised Phillip that she was a brilliant present buyer – and she certainly didn’t disappoint.

After being gifted the presents on This Morning this week, Phil took to Instagram to show them off in all their glory.

He captioned the snap: “You are indeed an excellent present-giver @susansarandon. Thank you for my birthday pressies.”

The gifts – two books about giggling – came alongside a card that read: “As a connoisseur of the giggles, I thought you might enjoy these for your birthday. Hope you have a good one.”

The actress appeared on This Morning earlier this month, and was discussing the movie industry when Phillip dropped a curveball into the conversation.

He asked her: “What did you get us today? I just read that you were a fantastic present-giver.”

Susan replied: “Now that I know you, I’ll have to think about it. Do you have any birthdays coming up?”

Holly Willoughby pointed out that Phil’s birthday was on April 1 – emphasising that it was April Fool’s Day – and clearly Susan didn’t forget it.

The programme’s showbiz presenter Gordon Smart announced on Thursday’s This Morning that he had a couple of presents from a Hollywood A-lister, addressed to Phillip, and the silver-haired host looked genuinely gobsmacked.

And after keeping viewers (and himself) waiting for what seemed like an eternity, Phillip finally opened the two packages.

During her appearance on This Morning, Susan had teased Phillip and Holly about how much they giggled. And her presents reflected that – two books about laughter!

Happy birthday for Sunday, Phil – have a glass of bubbly on us!
