Lorraine Kelly broke the news that her show would be dedicated to his 40th year in TV, while a host of fellow celebs paid tribute to the long-standing This Morning host. While his co-presenter Holly Willoughby, 41, and Lorraine, 62, among others shared congratulatory messages to the star, there was a noteable silence from Eamonn Holmes and his wife Ruth Langsford following their feud. Phillip was branded 'passive-aggressive' by Eamonn, 62, who also claimed Phillip 'has a habit of 'snubbing people' during an interview with the Daily Mail's Weekend magazine over the weekend.
Phillip looked stunned after being surprised by the Scottish star during her namesake show, while he was having a chat with Holly in his dressing room. Keeping quiet outside the door, Lorraine began: 'We've got a very special show coming up. I'm about to surprise a pal and a broadcasting legend to mark 40 years on the telly.
'So here's a wee bit of a clue,' she continued while holding a book titled, Phillip Schofield: 40 Years. 'I'm outside This Morning's make-up room, I've got a big book. He's currently getting ready behind the door, I hope he's there.
'Hello, hello, hello, hello. You don't know anything about this, do you? We couldn't let 40 years on the telly. .
. we couldn't let it. .
. Holly knew. A surprised Phil questioned: 'What have you done?' Lorraine replied: 'We've got lots of surprises for you, lots of people who want to say hello.
So please come with me or we'll be in big trouble. ' The former children's TV host protested: 'But I'm not mic'd or anything,' while running down a corridor at Television Centre with his pal. His co-star said: 'It doesn't matter, just hold that for a wee second and you can talk into that.
