Phillip Schofield’s family mock Holly Willoughby’s ‘are you ok?’ moment on This Morning after ITV scandal
A SCENE from Phillip Schofield’s new show sees the star and his family seemingly mocking Holly Willoughby’s infamous ‘Are you ok?’ moment.
The Sun exclusively revealed Phillip is making his TV comeback in Channel 5 special Phillip Schofield: Cast Away.
It sees the 62-year-old broadcaster marooned on a tropical island for 10 days.
In one scene, he appears to lampoon the moment when Holly Willoughby addressed his This Morning exit live on air.
She began her statement to viewers with the words: “Firstly, are you ok? I hope so.”
At one point in Cast Away, Phillip is seen having a barbecue at his family’s London home.
He distributes food to his wife, Stephanie, as well as their two daughters, Molly, 31, and Ruby, 28.
As he does so he laughs as he says: “If you’re ok, then we’re ok, and I’m ok…are you ok?”
However, Holly is never directly mentioned by name.
Elsewhere in the documentary, Phillip hints at a lack of support from his former co-star.
In the show, he says: “When you throw someone under a bus, you’ve got to have a really b****y good reason to do it.”
Later, he adds: “I miss parts of being on TV certainly. I miss most of it, if I’m honest, I miss most of it.
“But there are bits that I really, really, really don’t miss.”
On another occasion, he says: “I’m apparently four to one to do the other jungle programme (ITV’s I’m A Celebrity).
“Although my best mates host it, there are some channels you just won’t work for.
“There are just some people you won’t work for.”
The show also sees him address his fling with a much younger runner.
The presenter openly admits: “It was an unwise and unprofessional thing to do, I will be forever sorry.
“You know, I screwed up. I made a mistake, and I hurt the people around me.”
Cast Away begins on Monday at 9pm on Channel 5
