Phillip Schofield tuned in to watch Dancing On Ice on Sunday while revealing he’s still testing positive for Covid and will continue to miss filming for This Morning.
The presenter, 59, took to his Instagram Story to cheer on his pal Holly Willoughby and replacement Stephen Mulhern, who is fronting the reality show in his absence.
Confessing he’s only just discovered the series is ‘very good’, he hilariously warned the In For A Penny star: ‘Not too much fun Mulhern… I know where you live.’

He had been forced to pull out of recent episodes of This Morning during his five days of isolation, before needing two negative LFTs to continue with his Dancing On Ice hosting duties on Sunday.
Just two days before Phillip shared the photo of his test result, he indulged in a jam-packed evening out to the theatre and a restaurant with his wife Stephanie Lowe and their children Molly and Ruby.
His co-host on both This Morning and Dancing On Ice, Holly, was also absent from the daytime show, having previously revealed she would be taking two weeks off.
The announcement meant Phillip was seen hosting with Rochelle Humes for a third consecutive week on Monday before he tested positive.
Phillip made light of his positive test on Monday night, writing ‘Well b******s!!’ followed by a faceplant emoji before adding, ‘Currently just a slightly sore throat.’
The NTA winner admitted his symptoms were mild at the time of taking the lateral flow test.
