ITV's This Morning 'needs Philip Schofield back' to stay relevant, expert claims

ok.co.uk:

Phillip Schofield might be on the brink of a television revival despite his absence from the spotlight for over a year, according to a PR expert.The ex-ITV star, who was a staple on This Morning for two decades, faced a scandal last May when he confessed to an "unwise but not illegal" affair with a younger male colleague.

Since then, the veteran presenter has stayed away from public attention. The 62 year old issued an apology for misleading statements about the affair, and after his management team stepped back and close friend Holly Willoughby expressed feelings of betrayal, it seemed his career could have had hit rock bottom.

He reportedly "lost everything" following the backlash and took shelter at his mother's place in Cornwall. Sightings of him have been scarce, limited to occasional dog walks with his family.

Recently, however, he was seen with Declan Donnelly, fuelling speculation that he might be joining I'm A Celebrity, reports the Mirror.
