This Morning stars make feelings clear about Phillip Schofield's comeback show on remote island


Phillip Schofield's former This Morning colleagues Alison Hammond, Josie Gibson and Dermot O'Leary appear to have shown support for the presenter amid his new Channel 5 show.

Despite many initially believing his television career was over following his departure from ITV, Phillip is now making a comeback with a three-part series titled Cast Away, where he'll spend 10 days on a remote, uninhabited island off the coast of Madagascar. And this week, a source told The Mirror: "Phillip certainly didn't make many friends with his behaviour on This Morning in the final years but there is a degree of sympathy amongst some people for the state he finds himself in now." Channel 5's commissioning editor Guy Davies has teased the show, saying: "This isn't just a survival challenge, it's a chance for Phillip to look back over the last explosive 18 months of his life, and explore what happened."
