Biography

Phillip emigrated with his family when he was 17 to New Zealand, where he fronted Shazam, a pop music show. Further radio and TV jobs followed during the next three years.

Shortly after returning to the UK, he began presenting programme links for Children's BBC from the "broom cupboard", in conjuction with a puppet called Gordon the Gopher. His other shows included quiz The Movie Game and later Saturday-morning show Going Live!.

A mish-mash of different ITV projects - from holiday shows to documentaries - haven't particularly done him justice, with the exception of Talking Telephone Numbers which ran for a credible five series. These days he hosts This Morning alongside Fern Britton (and sometimes Lorraine Kelly).

A surprise hit in the theatre in Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat (he took over the title role from Jason Donovan), he returned to the stage in the acclaimed Doctor Dolittle.

Trivia

Phillip Schofield was the first in-vision presenter to link the famous weekday afternoon programmes slots on Children's BBC.
