Phillip Schofield admits it was ‘really weird’ missing Dancing On Ice this past weekend as he continues to test positive for Covid.
The 59-year-old presenter had to watch from home as his co-star Holly Willoughby was instead joined by Stephen Mulhern on the ITV figure skating competition, and while he struggled to get used to being a viewer, he still enjoyed the show.
Appearing on This Morning via video link on Monday morning, Phil said: ‘By the way Holls, it was really, really weird but what a brilliant show last night! It was so odd to watch it. I sat with a gin and tonic to watch it – it’s a really good show!’
Holly – who is presenting the daytime show with Alison Hammond while her usual co-host is at home – urged her partner in crime to get back on set.
‘Hurry up and come back soon,’ she added. ‘We miss you loads!’
Phil admitted he’s been making good use of his unexpected free time, as it sounds like he’s cleaned his whole house top to bottom.
