Loose Women's Nadia Sawalha slams Phillip Schofield's TV comeback branding it 'cringe' and 'embarrassing'

TV personality Nadia Sawalha has given her opinion on Phillip Schofield's much-anticipated TV return next week.The presenter, 62, is set to grace our screens once more on Channel 5's 'Cast Away', where he'll open up about his life since leaving the small screen while 'surviving' on a desert island.

Phillip took a step back from his hosting gig on This Morning in May last year amid the revelation of an 'unwise but not illegal' affair with a younger male runner on the show.

And his return to TV - which has so far seen a trailer showing Phillip getting emotional -has sparked a wave of buzz this week, drawing comments from Phil's former ITV colleague Nadia, who admitted she thought the show was a 'joke'. "[The trailer] was popping onto phones all over the place yesterday and everyone was agast.

When I was first sent it, there was no message with it, so I thought it was a joke," said Nadia as she shared her thoughts on the Coffee Moaning podcast, which she fronts with her husband hubby Mark Adderley.
