Phillip Schofield declares 'you learn a lot about people' in television and there are parts of his career he 'really, really doesn't miss' in the first episode of Cast Away TV series


The 62-year-old TV presenter returned to screens on Monday, for the first time since he stepped down from ITV 's This Morning last May following an 'unwise' affair with a junior colleague.

Channel 5's Cast Away sees the broadcaster stranded on an uninhabited island off Madagascar for 10 days with no food or water and without a production crew. Elsewhere in the first episode, Phillip told how he had 'everything in place' for a suicide attempt, but decided against it when his eldest daughter Molly persuaded him not to, in the wake of his exit from This Morning.
