9. Teenage Phillip's first job in the media was working for Hospital Radio Plymouth when he was 15. However, the ambitious presenter admits that he began bombarding the BBC with speculative employment letters when he was just 10!
8. In 1991, Phillip took to the stage as he replaced Jason Donovan in the West End Production – Joseph And The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat. He also had a UK Top 40 hit with “Close Every Door” from the show. It peaked at number 27 in the charts.
7. Since 2002 Phillip has worked on This Morning as a co-host, which led to an exclusive deal with ITV locking Schofield in with a large undisclosed amount.
6. Phillip found a mate, when Holly Willoughby joined the this morning team in 2012. Fans of the dynamic on-screen duo will be relieved to know that the pair are as good friends in real life as they are on telly!
5. The weirdest fan mail he ever received was an envelope full of pubic hair. He explains: “She’d shaved it all off for me. But when I opened it in the office it made everyone jump, so I don’t think it had the desired effect.” Rightly so…
4. His hair went grey from a very early age, Phillip says that his hair started to go grey from the age of about 16, so he began to dye it.
3. Phillip says that one of his most prized possessions is an autograph signed by Katharine Hepburn. "She was probably my only real hero," he once said. "An amazing woman who would do things her way."
2. Phillip is now estimated to have a net worth over 8 million pounds! Phillip married in 1993. He met his wife while working at BBC Children’s Television. They have 2 children.
1. In 4 September 2017, it was announced that a revived Dancing on Ice series would air on ITV from 7 January 2018 with Schofield and Willoughby returning as hosts alongside a new backstage host, Jordan Banjo.
