Cast Away: Phillip Schofield backed by This Morning pals as new show announced
Phillip Schofield announced his return to TV with his new show via two Instagram posts.
The first saw the bearded star looking dishevelled sitting on the beach. He captioned the post: “Now you know how I spent my Summer! Alone for 10 days, no food, no water, no crew. My story of survival, both on a desert island and off it.”
He then added: “Cast Away starts Monday on @channel5_tv & My5 at 9pm.”
Comments on the post were turned off, but it was liked 71,000 times – with a number of his former This Morning co-stars hitting the like button.
Josie Gibson, Rylan Clark and Clodagh McKenna were among the This Morning stars sharing their support for Phillip. As well as that, Josie also liked a clip from the show shared to socials by Channel 5.
Alison Hammond’s show of support
Phillip’s second post was a video clip from the show, which saw him foraging for for food and revealing the show would be his chance to share his “side of the story”.
That clip was liked by Alison Hammond – a long-time friend of Holly.

“I’m surprised, but delighted, and I hope it’s great entertainment, and I hope that he achieves from it whatever he wants to achieve. I’d like to see it, I’m intrigued to see it and I wish him all the very best.”
She then added: “I’m hoping that he’s done a fabulous job. I really hope so, I hope it’s great.”
