In a bombshell new interview with The Sun, Phillip recalled the moment that they became more than friends - a moment he said he deeply regrets. Speaking of how they were friends first, Phillip said: "Then one day something happened that just changed it.That is the moment I look back on, and regret so deeply.
"It was in my dressing room in 2017, it was a consensual moment, it was mutual. "It was not a love affair, it was not a relationship, we were not boyfriends; we were mates." Phillip went on to say that he was "struggling with his sexuality" in the build up to the first tryst, as he explained that he was "excited" by it, but that it "wasn't feelings".The fallen TV star insisted that he "did not groom" the younger male colleague that he had an affair with during his time on This Morning.
In the interview Phillip was "visibly shaking" as he said he understands there will be "massive judgement" after his bombshell statement last week that said he met the man in question when he was just a teenager. He said that there "are accusations of all sorts of things" after a photograph emerged of the time Phillip first met the boy when he was in school, which Phillip admits he thought looked "shocking" after his admission about the affair.
