Phillip Schofield

Phillip Schofield (born 1st April 1962 in Oldham) is a television presenter most recently employed at ITV. He is best known for hosting the lifestyle magazine This Morning between 2002 and 2023, as well as the celebrity talent show Dancing on Ice between 2006 and 2023, both alongside Holly Willoughby.
Schofield gained national attention working as a continuity presenter for the weekday Children's BBC programming block from 1985 to 1987, and then its Saturday morning programme Going Live! until 1993. He moved to adult-orientated programming, hosting various programmes for ITV such as Schofield's Quest, Schofield's TV Gold, Ten Ball and Talking Telephone Numbers. He continued to host shows for the BBC such as The National Lottery: Winning Lines and Test the Nation, but exclusively worked for ITV after signing a contract in July 2006. Subsequent presenting roles included The British Soap Awards, All Star Mr & Mrs, The Cube, Text Santa, 5 Gold Rings. He left ITV in May 2023 after admitting to engaging in and lying about an affair with a younger co-worker.
Schofield has made two cameos in Emmerdale: firstly as himself in January 2005 alongside with This Morning co-presenter Fern Britton, when Alan Turner went on the programme to make an emotional plea to his missing partner Shelly Williams. Schofield's second appearance was in December 2015, when he appeared in the background of a scene in David's Shop. This was part of his #Pipknit campaign for Text Santa in which he appeared in every programme broadcast on ITV that day until 10pm at night. Additionally, he narrated three retrospective programmes related to Emmerdale  - Emmerdale Christmas Crackers, Emmerdale's Greatest Love Triangles and Farewell Seth - A Tribute to Stan Richards.
