It’s been an explosive time in the world of television.This week, Philip Schofield made his shock return in a three-part reality show Cast Away, after stepping down from his This Morning job last May, following an affair with a young runner on the show and being basically cast into the showbiz wilderness.The Channel 5 programme saw a straggly, bearded Phil not only grapple with survival on a desert island off Madagascar alone for 10 days as he attempted to revive his battered TV career, but deliver some rather scathing put-downs to thinly-veiled targets in the TV industry, while he was at it. One of those targets, it seems highly likely, was his former colleague Holly, whose long-standing relationship with her former This Morning host - who he had worked side by side for 14 years - all but disintegrated following the shock scandal last year.

Phillip Schofield ’s three part reality series Cast Away came to an end on Wednesday 2 October, but before he left the island where he had spent 10 days contemplating his life and TV career, the former This Morning presenter left viewers with a memory of his bare rear end as he ran naked into the sea on the last evening of his adventure. Many of those who were treated to the sight of Phillip’s bottom disappearing into the night took to social media to comment on the surprising vision they had just witnessed.

TV favourite Ruth Langsford could be swapping the sofa for skates as whispers of her joining ITV's Dancing On Ice grow louder following her split from hubby Eamonn Holmes.The dynamic duo, both 64, caused a stir with their divorce bombshell in May this year after 14 years of marriage. While Eamonn was quick to jump back into his GB News gig, Ruth enjoyed a breather from her Loose Women chats.

Earlier this year, Phillip Schofield was spotted enjoying a meal with his good friend Declan Donnelly and his wife Ali Astall. Back in May, rumours were rife that the 62-year-old TV star, who had to step down from his presenting role on This Morning last year, was planning a TV comeback.

Phillip Schofield has opened up about the shock he felt when his mum and brother were diagnosed with the same serious health condition.The 62-year-old TV star, who is making a sensational return to our screens this week in Channel 5's Cast Away, had previously cut ties with his brother, Timothy, 54, after he was sentenced to 12 years in prison last year after being found guilty of 11 sexual offences involving a minor between October 2016 and October 2019, including two counts of sexual activity with a child. Despite their strained relationship, Phillip previously spoke candidly about the moment his family "sat down together" after both Timothy and their mum, Pat, were diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes within six months of each other.

Phillip Schofield’s daughter has revealed that she has been “overwhelmed” by the reaction to her father’s new Channel 5 show, Phillip Schofield: Cast Away. As part of the three-part series, viewers have seen the former This Morning presenter, who stepped down from his presenting roles at ITV and This Morning in May 2023, deserted on an island off Madagascar for 10 days.

Strictly Come Dancing's Pete Wicks and his dance partner Jowita Przysta are taking their partnership up a notch by planning to get matching tattoos.The reality TV heartthrob, aged 36, who rose to fame on TOWIE, is showing off his moves in the latest season of the BBC hit show with the stunning professional dancer Jowita, 30.The pair have set tongues wagging early in the competition with their sizzling chemistry both during performances and behind the scenes and fans are convinced that Pete has fallen for Jowita. In the midst of all the whispers, the couple joined the Loose Women panel where they dished on their dancing journey so far.

Phillip Schofield's much-anticipated TV comeback has been met with disappointment as the show failed to make a splash in the ratings.The 62 year old presenter, known for his time on This Morning, had hoped to revive his career with a new Channel 5 documentary series, which premiered more than a year after his controversial "unwise, but not illegal" affair that derailed his career.The three-part docuseries, Phillip Schofield: Cast Away, started airing on Monday 30 September but received harsh criticism and left audiences divided. Despite the hype, only 1.4 million viewers tuned in to see Phillip stranded on a desert island, a far cry from the numbers he once drew.The series was intended to repair his tarnished public image, yet it backfired with viewers criticising him for seeming "narcissistic" and showing no remorse for the scandal that caused his professional downfall.To add insult to injury, ITV's crime drama Joan, featuring Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner, overshadowed Phillip's return by pulling in over 2 million viewers.

Phillip Schofield departed This Morning, where he was famous for presenting alongside Holly Willoughby, amid a storm of controversy in May last year and has barely been seen since - until he surprised everyone by appearing on Channel 5 in the show Cast Away this week, settling old scores while battling for survival on a desert island. But as well as showing the 62-year-old catching sea creatures and scaling mountains, it also gave a very rare look inside his family life, with his wife Stephanie Lowe and daughters shown seeing him off and enjoying a barbecue before his departure, even saying at one point that were it not for his children he might not be here today.

The second episode of Cast Away, in which Phillip Schofield filmed himself stranded on a deserted island near Madagascar for 10 days, contains more scenes of the former TV presenter talking about his career and how it came to an abrupt end last year, and hints that he will “bow out” and not return to TV in the future.The episode on Tuesday 1 October features Phillip becoming emotional after catching his first fish, and then getting angry when he talked about the people who he believes were instrumental in ending his career at This Morning. Without naming names, Phillip mentions being “thrown under the bus” by some of his co-workers, and being let go by his management.

Deidre Sanders, the beloved agony aunt from This Morning, tragically lost her husband just days before she was awarded her MBE last January. She fondly remembered how he reacted to the honour before his passing. Known for her work as a prominent agony aunt, Deirdre has offered plenty of her hard-earned wisdom from the iconic This Morning sofa.

Viewers of Channel 5's Cast Away rushed to social media on Monday night as they watched Phillip Schofield's return to the screen and were convinced the former This Morning presenter made a dig at his ex-colleague and best pal Holly Willoughby, appearing to mock her. The shamed presenter stepped down from the ITV breakfast show last year and admitted to an 'unwise but not illegal' affair with a young male colleague. And when his co-host Holly returned to present This Morning without him following the controversy, she said to viewers: "Hello, Firstly, are you okay? I hope so.
