Phillip Schofield was seen leaving a bar with a companion recently
Former This Morning host Phillip Schofield was spotted with his arm around a male companion whilst leaving a bar. The presenter was seen leaning on the shoulder of his pal, revealed to be nurse Joshua Luke Sharman, after the pair enjoyed drinks together in central London.

‌

Phillip, 63, resigned from ITV back in 2023 after admitting an ‘unwise but not illegal’ affair with a This Morning colleague. The ex presenter was seen leaving London’s first LGBTQ+ dedicated cinema Arzner Bar & Cafe in Bermondsey at 7pm on Saturday.

‌

Nurse Joshua was similarly dressed for the warmer weather, in a short-sleeved black shirt, a pair of beige shorts and dark footwear.

The pair were seen with their arms around each other as they looked to stumble on their way out. Phillip had his arm around Joshua’s waist, as his companion wrapped an arm around the TV star’s shoulder.

Phillip, who came out as gay in February 2020, has retreated from the spotlight since resigning from ITV in 2023. He apologised at the time for having previously lied about his relations with a member of the This Morning team while married. In his statement announcing his resignation, former Dancing on Ice host Phillip also stated that the “consensual on-off relationship” was “now over”.

The former TV presenter was seen out in London just a few days ago
Phillip however later made a shock TV comeback on Channel 5’s Cast Away last year. The three-part series saw him speak about his life whilst left on a remote island for ten days, as well as featuring his family in scenes filmed at home.

The presenter, who announced five years ago that he was gay, has two children with Stephanie Lowe, 60, whom he is still married to after the pair tied the knot in 1993. The former couple are parents to daughters Molly Schofield, 32, and Ruby Schofield, 29, together.

As reported at the time, Molly said in the show that everything that happened has brought the family “closer”. She said: “We’ve seen him at his lowest times, but I’ve been so proud of him, and as a daughter to see the love that people had for him that when it’s taken away it’s just heartbreaking.”

Phillip reflected on his career in the show. As reported at the time, he said that whilst he misses some “parts” of it, he doesn’t miss everything about his previous jobs.

‌

He said in a scene: “I miss parts of it. I miss most of it. There are bits I really, really don’t miss. You learn a lot about people. You learn a lot about people. I don’t miss that.”

While Phillip enjoys his summer in London, his former This Morning co-star Holly Willoughby has been pictured on a family holiday in Portugal. The presenters were previously so close they would vacation with their respective families.

However, since their departure from ITV the pair have severed ties completely. Phillip previously accused Holly of ‘betraying him’ over his exit. Speaking on Cast Away in October, Phillip referred to Holly as “one of the three s***s of showbiz.”
