Phillip Schofield’s daughter shares emotional tribute to her late grandmother as TV star’s mum dies
PHILLIP Schofield’s eldest daughter, Molly, has shared a heartfelt tribute to her late grandmother following the news of her passing.
The emotional statement comes after her father announced the sad news of his mother’s death on social media.
Phillip took to Instagram tonight to inform his 2.7 million followers of the devastating loss.
Sharing several touching photos of his beloved mum, the former This Morning presenter expressed his heartbreak.
He revealed that Pat Schofield passed away earlier that day after what he described as a “heartbreaking weekend”.
In his emotional post, Phillip wrote: “Today, at 3pm and after a heartbreaking weekend, my magnificent mum decided it was time to go to her beloved Brian.
“Over three days, we held her, loved her, hugged her, and said everything that needed to be said.
“She was calm, peaceful, beautiful, and dignified. I will forever be proud and privileged that she was my mum. I love you mum, forever.”
The TV star also expressed his gratitude to the medical staff who had cared for his mother, praising the paramedics and the critical care team for their support.
He also shared more personal moments, including a video of his adventurous mother wing walking on a plane.
Shortly after Phillip’s announcement, his daughter Molly shared her own tribute on Instagram.
Reposting her father’s message, she added a broken-heart emoji, before sharing a nostalgic photo of herself and her sister Ruby posing with their grandmother.
“Love you so much, Bo” Molly wrote over the image, affectionately referring to her grandmother by her family nickname.
She added a final emotional request referencing Pat’s late husband Brian, saying: “Give a huge kiss to Bri when you see him.”
Molly’s tribute comes after she appeared in Cast Away last month.
She appeared on the Channel 5 show alongside her father and sister Ruby as Phillip made his return to TV over a year after his departure from This Morning.
His exit in May 2023 followed his admission of an “unwise but not illegal” relationship with a junior colleague during his time on the ITV show.
Despite the challenges of the past year, Phillip has received unwavering support from his family, with Molly, Ruby, and their mother Stephanie Lowe remaining by his side throughout.
