As Phillip Schofield stages his TV comeback with Channel 5’s Cast Away, he’s revealed one of the major side-effects of being marooned on a desert island – a shocking amount of weight loss.
The former ITV presenter, 52, took an extended break from the spotlight – aside from an occasional social media post – after he left This Morning in May 2023 when the news broke that he’d had an ‘unwise but not illegal’ affair with a younger colleague.
After months of speculation as to when he would return to screens, the TV personality confirmed that he is set to star in Channel 5 show Cast Away to tell his story.
Over the summer he was left on an island off Madagascar for ten days. In the announcement, he shared: ‘My story of survival, both on a desert island and off it. I know what I did was unwise, but is it enough to absolutely destroy someone?’
