Phillip Schofield was visibly moved to tears on his new desert island TV show as he opened up about the depths of his struggles after departing from This Morning.
The beloved former ITV presenter shared the "dark" times he faced and how his daughters, Molly and Ruby, were instrumental in pulling him back from the brink.As he makes his return to television on Channel 5 next week, he recounted, fighting through tears: "In the last 18 months it got as dark as it is possible to get."A year ago I got so so close.
I had everything in place, everything was set up and everything was ready and it was Molly that was looking after me, Molly and Ruby (daughters) both looking after me at the time and Molly said do you imagine what this would do to us if you actually managed to pull this off."Schofield continued: "Can you imagine what would happen and can you imagine what it would do to me if you did this on my watch.
And that was enough just to take a step back from the edge. And I could have been hospitalised, I had the option to be hospitalised but I just thought that is going to get out so I raced to the family home."Now 62, Schofield, who publicly came out as gay in February 2020, reflected on the experience, noting that while coming out is often seen as freeing, for him it has caused more pain than happiness.
