Yesterday, former This Morning presenter Phillip Schofield was photographed in public for the first time in a month. The 61-year-old ex-ITV star was axed from the channel last month after admitting to having had an affair with a younger co-worker on the set of the much-loved daytime show. Father-of-two Phillip had arrived in his mother Pat's home county of Cornwall - appearing glum and down-trodden - for a visit believed to be intended to celebrate her birthday.

Outspoken chef Gino, a regular on the ITV daytime show, was back in the studio's kitchen on Tuesday after a break and couldn't resist a cheeky dig at the recent controversy surrounding former host Phillip Schofield. But fans think he made another, less obvious, comment on the events which saw Phil quit after 21 years as presenter.

But during his return this week, the mischievous chef made a subtle dig at Phillip Schofield's departure from the programme last month, which was dogged with controversy when Phillip admitted to previously having an "unwise but not illegal" affair with a much younger male colleague.

Phillip Schofield was still Holly Willoughby’s co-host and they were still pretending to be each other’s best friends on This Morning. Well, at least he was pretending.  In those last few episodes, I didn’t need to be a body language expert to see from Holly, tensions between them had reached boiling point, and there was clearly something going on.

This Morning returnee Gino D'Acampo made a subtle hint at the Phillip Schofield saga on This Morning today, much to the discomfort of presenters Dermot O'Leary and Holly Willoughby. After 21 years as a face of the ITV show, 61 year old Phillip resigned with immediate effect from his post before revealing to the world that she'd partaken in an affair with a much younger colleague in secret.
