This Morning host at Brian Schofield's bedside
Wednesday, 20 February 2008
Phillip Schofield is taking compassionate leave from presenting This Morning for a week because his dad is very ill.
Brian Schofield, 72, is currently being cared for at his Oxfordshire home by wife Pat, 71, after spending several weeks at the Royal Brompton Hospital in London.
‘Phillip’s father has been very ill,’ a This Morning spokesperson confirms. ‘The family have been with him constantly and he is now home.’
The TV presenter, 45, has been juggling his professional commitments to be by his father's bedside.
‘It has been heart-warming to see Phillip caring for his dad,’ a source tells The Sun. ‘It’s an inspiration.
'One minute he’d be giving a flawless performance on Dancing On Ice and 40 minutes later he’d be climbing into a put-up bed by his dad’s side. It’s obvious they share a deep bond.’
