Phillip Schofield has said he was "thrown under the bus" in a thinly-veiled swipe at Holly Willoughby. After the ITV scandal, Schofe has now appeared in Channel 5 documentary Cast Away, where he has discussed his downfall.

Phil, 62, will reveal on his new show Cast Away how there are parts of TV he does not miss. During the documentary, Schofield hints at a lack of support from his long-time friend and co-host Holly, who has also subsequently left the show.x

He says: “I miss parts of being on TV certainly. I miss most of it, if I’m honest, I miss most of it. But there are bits that I really, really, really don’t miss. You learn a lot about people, I don’t miss that.” He added: “When you throw someone under a bus, you’ve got to have a really bloody good reason to do it.”

He says: “I’m apparently four to one to do the other jungle programme (ITV’s I’m A Celebrity). Although my best mates host it, there are some channels you just won’t work for. There are just some people you won’t work for.” Phil said: “It was an unwise and unprofessional thing to do, I will be forever sorry. You know, I screwed up. I made a mistake, and I hurt the people around me.”

He says: “This is the first time I’ve sat in front of a camera since the worst day of my life. I’ve spent so much time reflecting but if you do it in four walls, then nothing changes.” Schofe, who has two daughters with wife Stephanie, added how the scandal was “the biggest grenade going off in your life."

He said: “It all came to a sudden, very abrupt end. One minute you’re there and then you’re gone. You know what it feels like to be cancelled.”
