Channel 5 viewers have predicted that Ant and Dec will have been left “fuming” after Phillip Schofield brought them up during his TV comeback.
Phillip, 62, is the subject of Cast Away, which sees him survive alone on a desert island for 10 days.
During his time on the island, the former This Morning presenter is telling his side of the last 18 months, in which he has admitted to an affair with a younger male colleague, been exiled from the TV and even considered ending his own life.
In the first episode, which aired on Monday (September 30), Phillip discussed rumours he will take part in I’m A Celebrity.
Phillip Schofield’s comment about Ant and Dec
He said: “I’m currently 4/1 to do the other jungle programme [I’m A Celebrity]. Now, although my best mates [Ant and Dec] host it, there are some channels you just won’t work for, there are some people you won’t work for.”
After the remark, viewers flocked to X to discuss their thoughts.
One penned: “Phillip Schofield considers Ant and Dec his best mates but won’t currently work for ITV.”
The statement garnered the comment: “Awks for A&D!”
Another viewer asked: “Did Phillip Schofield just refer to Ant & Dec as his ‘best friends’?!”
