Chesney Hawkes brands exiled presenter Phillip Schofield a 'b*****d' for playing a brutal joke at his expense on live TV - and says finding fame at a young age ruined his mental health


The star, 53, dominated the charts in 1991 with his hit single The One And Only and while he was enjoying riding the wave of fame, others in the industry were intent on knocking him down.

The singer explained that in 1991 at the Smash Hits' Poll Winners' Party, Philip starred in a comedy skit where he pushed Chesney into a fiery pit with a pitchfork And while he generally enjoyed the freeing nudity scenes, he did recall a moment when a visitor to the grand house spied him naked through a window which led him to sheepishly ask if the curtains could be closed while filming, Chesney previosuly struggled to face an audience after his smash hit was met with such trolling but he is now ready to tackle a tour and throughout it all he has had the support of his wife Kristina, who he married in 1997 (pictured)
