The disgraced TV star was forced to leave the ITV show This Morning after news of an ‘unwise but not illegal’ affair with a younger colleague broke in May 2023 and as rumours about an alleged feud with co-star Holly Willoughby swirled. Since then the 62-year-old presenter has stayed away from the spotlight, aside from the occasional social media post, until now.
This month he launched a new series on Channel 5, Cast Away, in which he spends 10 days marooned on a deserted island with one chance to tell his side of the story. So far he has not had a great reception , and even hit back against critics of the show in a recent Instagram story. And it seems two of his sceptics include Gogglebox sibling duo Pete and Sophie who made their feelings about exactly where the fault lies perfectly clear on last night’s Channel 4 episode of Gogglebox.
The pair were shown a clip of Phillip on the show saying: ‘When you throw someone under the bus, you gotta have a really bloody good reason to do it.’ Sophie was quick to pitch in. ‘You created the bus and then put your foot down on it,’ she said to which Pete laughed and quickly offered his agreement.
‘You created, drove and threw yourself under the bus,’ he doubled down. As Sop.
