As mentioned above, Phillip Schofield has been leading a quiet life since he was shunned from television. However, there are rumours that Schofield is writing a book about his ordeal and even one that he may join Piers Morgan on TalkTV.
Schofield has also been taking a break from social media and hasn’t posted anything in months. However, the former This Morning host has now removed all traces of Holly Willoughby from his Instagram.
A source told Daily Mail:
The fact that Phil appears to have removed them from his page is very telling about how he feels about Holly. He seems to have moved on for good now, and is trying to leave Holly behind
This could be a subtle hint that Phillip is moving on from that period of his life. It is interesting to note that he still has photos with other co-stars Alison Hammond and Josie Gibson.
