Phillip Schofield has revealed he is afraid to leave the house after the revelation of his affair with a younger male colleague. In a new interview, he said he feared being spat on in the street and that he was currently getting by “hour by hour”.The former This Morning presenter, 61, previously said he had “lost everything” after admitting to the affair, and that the fallout had had a “catastrophic effect” on his mind. In a new interview, published on Friday, the 61-year-old said: “I do not know a time I will be able to walk out of the door.
“I don’t have any spirit. My friends tell me, ‘It will get better’. It won’t.
Not now. Not this one.” He added to The Sun: “I am getting by hour by hour. I have got my girls and my friends.” Phil resigned from ITV last week and was dropped by his talent agency YMU after admitting to the “unwise but not illegal” relationship.
In his first interviews since leaving the broadcaster and This Morning, he said he was “utterly broken and ashamed” but denied he had “groomed” the man. Speaking to the BBC’s Amol Rajan, Phillip Schofield praised his daughters Ruby and Molly for “guarding him”. “Last week, if my daughters hadn’t been there then I wouldn’t be here.
And they’ve guarded me and won’t let me out of their sight, it’s like a weird numbness,” he said. “I know that’s a selfish point of view. But you come to a point where you just think, how much are you supposed to take? “If all of those people that write all that stuff, do they ever think that there’s actually a person at the other end?” Referring to the Love Island host who took her own life in February 2020, he added: “I think I understand how Caroline Flack felt.
