Phillip Schofield to make a comeback to TV?
Andy Barr, CEO of 10 Yetis Digital, has suggested that Phillip Schofield had landed himself a new TV role. According to this source, Schofield would find a future with Talk TV, which is hosted by Piers Morgan, who stood up for Schofield at the beginning.
As reported by Mirror, the Barr said:
TalkTV could be the career rebuilding platform that Schofield needs right now.
Andy Barr told Daily Star that Talk TV was the ‘perfect place’ for Phillip to rebuild his career and added that Phillip could make a comeback if nothing else scandalous is revealed about him:
If the current media spotlight reveals no new allegations then this is entirely recoverable for him and TalkTV could be the perfect place for him to start again in a high profile media environment.
However, Schofield’s lawyer has debunked this theory and told Mirror‘absolutely not as far as I know’ when asked if Schofield was coming back to our screens via Talk TV.
