Phillip Schofield told ‘it’s a morning show’ as he makes summer admission

A guest on This Morning felt the need to remind Phillip Schofield of where he was as he made a summer confession. The presenter was back at the helm of the ITV daytime show on Wednesday alongside co-host Holly Willoughby.

Among the guests on the mid-week show were Hollywood couple Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard and 10cc who gave a live performance of the band’s first-ever number one hit ‘Rubber Bullets’.

Donal Skehan was also in the studio’s kitchen showing viewers have to make a sweet and delicious Tres Leches Cake. After returning from a competition, Phillip began to introduce their latest chef.

Holly and Phillip were sat at the breakfast bar ready with their own pieces of cake to tuck into, with Phillip commenting that it’s like “sitting at a posh restaurant at the chef’s table.” He then shared his plans to eat his own slice of cake as well as a full version which had been placed at the side of him for show.

“If you get through that and that,” Holly said pointing, “You’ll be alright.” As she laughed, Phillip then confessed: “In the summer, if wasps weren’t a problem, I’d smear this all over myself,” as he picked up a little ramakin of caramel sauce that was being used as a serving option.

“Is that your favourite,” Holly asked her co-host as Donal said: “Oh my gosh, Phillip! Please! It’s a morning show.” Phillip then revealed that he has a wasp allergy meaning it wouldn’t be possible.

“I’m allergic to wasps so it’d be a catastrophe,” he laughed as Holly warned him: “Don’t you dare,” before they picked up their spoons to tuck in as Donal gave his baking demonstration.

Phillip’s return to the show comes after he admitted he had quit Twitter. Speaking about Elon Musk’s takeover of the social media platform, the 60-year-old TV star said that while his account, with 4.4m followers is still live, he had deleted the app from his phone.

After calling it a “cesspit”, he said: “I’ve deleted it off my phone. And I’ll quite openly say that… Because there is a section that is wonderful and magnificent and funny and informative…. And there is a section that is vile and disgusting and I want no part of it in my life.”
