Phillip Schofield’s replacement in We Buy Any Car ads seen filming new promos after This Morning star lost £1m gig
PHILLIP Schofield's WeBuyAnyCar replacement Jeff Obeng has been seen filming his first advertisement for the lucrative car-buying company. The This Morning presenter was dropped from their promotional campaigns after five years – a deal worth £1million – shortly after being accused of jumping the 12-hour queue to see Queen Elizabeth's coffin lying in state.
