Phillip Schofield found himself watching the show go on without him on Sunday night.

And it's not the first time this week the presenter has had to do that.

Phil, 59, was forced to miss Sunday night's Dancing On Ice as he was still testing positive for coronavirus.

He first tested positive last Monday (January 31) hours after hosting This Morning.

The Oldham-born star was then forced to miss the ITV daytime show for the rest of the week with his appearance on Dancing On Ice hanging by a thread.

And unfortunately, he was still testing positive on Saturday meaning he wouldn't be able to return to the skating competition in time.

He was therefore replaced by Stephen Mulhern, who reunited with Holly Willoughby 16 years after they last hosted a show together.

But Phil did find a benefit to isolation as he revealed he was enjoying the experience of watching Dancing On Ice from home.

"Well this is an experience I never expected!!" he said as he shared a picture of his television screen to his Instagram Story.

“I’m loving watching with a G&T."

He then shared another showing Holly and Stephen, commenting: "Enjoy @stephenmulhern."

Holding up his G&T to the telly screen, Phil added: "Just discovered this show, it's actually very good. Cheers."

But there was soon a warning from Phillip to Stephen after the Catchphrase and In For a Penny host addressed presenter directly on the show and told him he was having fun during his hosting stint.

"Not too much fun Mulhern... I know where you live," he said with a series of crying laughing emojis.

Before tuning in to Dancing On Ice, Phillip revealed he will not be back on This Morning today (Monday)
