The_DADDY Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Phillip Schofield is set to make an unexpected return to television 16 months after exiting ITV over his widely reported affair scandal. The former This Morning host has kept a low public profile since last summer, when he admitted to having an affair with a younger male colleague. The Sun reported on Tuesday that the 62-year-old has secretly filmed a Channel 5 special, titled Cast Away, which sees him marooned on a tropical island for 10 days. The tabloid shared screenshots from the series of Mr Schofield looking grizzled in a dirty grey t-shirt and a white beard. “Over the past few months Phil has had quite a few offers for various things – but has steadfastly turned them all down,” a source told The Sun. “This sort of challenge has always appealed to him though and after consulting with friends and family, he decided to go for it. It’s all been top secret, and has been an incredibly quick turnaround in order to keep the news quiet. “After 42 years on telly, Phillip has learnt from some great crews and teams on how to film and tell a story. “With 10 days to himself, no camera crews or production around, he shot some unbelievably raw footage - some of it makes for tough, emotional viewing. “But he wanted a chance to share his story, unedited and honest, and let viewers see another side to him. “Whilst this is a massive coup for Channel 5, and huge for Phillip, he’s in no rush to come back to TV full-time yet; he remains very bruised, and is just taking some time now to weigh things up before he makes any major decisions.” Channel 5 teased the special on Monday with a clip showing just the back and legs of an unnamed celebrity as fans guessed who it might be. The broadcaster captioned its post: “Coming Soon to Channel 5… A celebrity marooned on an uninhabited tropical island off the coast of Madagascar for 10 days is challenged with total isolation, the forces of nature, and the battle within their own mind.” You're thoughts? https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/phillip-schofield-tv-return-channel-5-b2618387.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyrotequila Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 He had an affair, lots of people do... that doesn't mean he should never be on another TV show again. Accept you made a mistake, own up to it and move on 🤷♂️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
